Attending User Groups Virtually via Roundtable
People and Events June 4th, 2008Last night I attended the Sydney Windows Mobile User Group, and it was cool. I was in Brisbane, they were in Sydney -
I [pardon the pun] was a virtual attendee, and was able to see the gig via the Roundtable-conferency-thingy.
I must say, the experience was pretty good, I was on a lowly 512 ADSL1 connection. I could see both the presenter, and the audience (including Jeffa, Rog42 and Johan). I could even MSN through questions.
I love the idea so much, I might chat to the lads here in Brissie and see if we can hook one up for the upcoming Brissie User Group.

I hear that the Sydney SMB ITPro group has been doing this for a while, and if I were in it for the Education I’d be online every month. I have discovered that the thing about that group is the Networking and the general things that I’d not pickup on a Webinar. That is why even though there is an option I am aranging my Schedule for the Monthly 6 hour round trip in the Nerdvara.
But yes Live Meeting will give community events more reach which is cool and I will definately do the BrisneyLand Group via Live Meeting given the chance
