8 October 2008

Thanks to everyone for their responses to my email asking how you feel about changing the time of the user group meetings to 4pm.  Overall, the response was positive, so we will try it out and see if it works for us.  Overall, we are hoping that a change in time will help make it easier for people to attend.

So, on to the interesting stuff .... the agenda below details what we are going to cover during the session.  Make sure you attend this session, as I will be giving you an early preview of BizTalk 2009!  Most of the world will only be able to see this at or after PDC at the end of October, so if you are itching to SEE what's in the next version of BizTalk, make sure you get to this meeting!  ;-D

As you can see we are going to try and keep the time to 1.5 hours.  If you have other suggestions for topics you would like to have addressed, please post them to the forum titled "User Group Topic Suggestions".

Our normal room is not available on the 8th, so please reply to this post to let us know if you are coming, so that we can be sure to book a large enough room.

Hiya,

Thanks for the reply, and welcome back!  :-)

The venue is Microsoft's offices in Bryanston.

I'll def be there.

 Sounds good. Will certainly try to get there.

Thanks

Thanks to those that could attend yesterday's session.  The K2 presentation was very slick and of great interest to see how a thrid party application is unifying a number of Microsoft technologies, including BizTalk, to create a customer solution that covers human workflow as well as business process management.

It was a small, but informative session and was hopefully of value.  I will post a new topic for the next session, with some suggestions on possible changes to the user group to increase its scope and value.  We will also revert to the 6pm time slot, as that seems to suit people more than the 4pm time slot.
