I’m pleased to announce that we’ll have a, IBM L2 Technical Support Lead at this upcoming Ohio Valley Users Group meeting. I’m hoping that we’ll be able to have someone from BigFix development/engineering attend too. Specifics on presentations will be communicated once all resources have been identified and confirmed.

Happy Friday everyone… with the feedback I’ve received, the November 18th date has won by a landslide. I will begin working on an official invite that will be sent out via Eventbright next week. I’ll post that Eventbright link once it’s available.

I’m still looking for feedback and ideas on presentation topics. Right now we have:

  1. Working with IBM support (confirmed)
  2. A little bit of REST magic (tentative)

If there’s something you’ve always wanted to know about BigFix… now’s your chance. Provide your feedback and I’ll see what I can get lined up.

This meeting will be held at the Kroger Technology facility called the Landings. Attendees must register in advance so that your name is on the security list for entrance to the facility. We will be providing some drinks and snacks for the meeting.

Finally, I’d like to plan an after event at a local restaurant. If your company would like to sponsor the after event, please contact me directly.

Thank you,
—Casey

Are you going to keep this thread as the primary communications channel about the event and registration, or make a separate one just for that?

I don’t know that there is a clear best choice, but if so, I’ll globally pin this post after the Oct13th user group is over. Remind me if I forget.

Hi James,

So yes, I’m posting on this BigFix forum thread and a thread in our LinkedIn group. If you don’t mind posting globally after the 13th, that’d be great. I’ve put a note in my calendar to reach out to you on the 17th as a reminder.

Thanks,
-Casey

Sounds good.

You might consider having the link back to this forum thread at the end of the eventbrite description as a way for those interested to participate in the conversation here.

Good point. I’ve added links on our EventBrite listing back to this forum thread and to our group in LinkedIn. Thanks! -Casey

Sorry about that, I definitely meant to do this earlier. This is pinned globally now.

Do you have an agenda for this user group meeting? Have very many people signed up for this user group meeting yet? I am thinking about attending but it will be about a 3 hour drive each way so I want to make sure I can justify attending the meeting.

Hello and thanks for your interest. I can understand and appreciate your position on needing to justify the investment in time and expense. I hope to have the event agenda finalized by EOD this Friday. I’ll update this post once the agenda is finalized.

All—

Just a reminder that we’re still looking for a customer experience story for the upcoming Ohio Valley BigFix Users Group event. Please contact me if you’re interested in presenting.

Alternatively, if there’s a BigFix topic that you’d like to discuss or have presented in the “Customer Experience Story” block, please email me your ideas and I’ll see what I can get lined up.

Thank you,

The eventbrite says Nov 18th, not the 11th.
