Sponsorship, venue and other details will be announced shortly.<br /> <br /> In the meantime, I'd like to officially request anyone that is interested in speaking to please reply to this thread, contact me via my site (<a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.systemsarchitech.com/">www.SystemsArchiTECH.com</a>), or send me a private message via this forum. I'm open to all topics such as security, pitfalls encountered, unique solutions, favorite third-party app, et cetera. <br /> <p /> I'd also like to start our work in progress agenda. I'm thinking:<br /> <p /> Pre-Meeting - Perhaps a small primer for those brand new to virtualization. I had this requested by a few people last time and may be worthwhile to those new to the concept of virtualization.<br /> <p /> Introductions - Who am I, who the sponsors are and a tease for the upcoming topics.<br /> <p /> VDI 2 - Anyone participating in the VDI2 Beta? Give the user group your feedback!<br /> <p /> Technical Topic #1 - You decide. Speakers welcome!<br /> <p /> Sponsor demonstration. Prepare for ooh's and ahh's.<br /> <p /> Technical Topic #2 - You decide. Speakers welcome!<br /> <p /> Q&#38;A.<br /> <p /> Wrap-Up.<br /> <p /> I'm open to suggestions for technical content, either very advanced or more intermediate discussions. I'm also thinking about putting up a performance matrix to compare and contrast environments and perhaps find ways to make performance tweaks.
