Here are the post meeting survey results that I thought we could use a a beginning of discussion and planning for future meetings. For the next meeting, we'll have a vendor speak on VDI since we'vre already been planning since the last meeting, after that meeting we'll have a user case story meeting (any volunteers? - maybe we'll talk about Virtual Center / ESX 3.5 then as well) and after that, based on the results below, we'll see about having a vendor speak about Disaster Recovery and/or Virtual Center / ESX 3.5
We're looking for voluneteers to host the next meeting. TCU is willing to host the next meeting but doesn't have to. Coachman is willing to host in Middlebury. We'd be looking at the dates of July 10th, 17th or 24th at 6 pm. Sean O'Meara from Xcedex will talk about Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. If you're willing to host, check that you can and then e-mail me.
