ENDED | Ohio Valley BUG Reboot | Friday, August 18, 2023

I wish we had more of these BigFix user group in more areas. I think it would be great to see how other customers are using Bigfix as well as the integrations that they have come up with to meet their business needs. Unfortunately, many companies don’t allow business travel for user group meetings, so it likely holds back BigFix fans from participating. I hope everyone has a great time and gets some valuable information and connections from this event.

@Jstev, where are you located? My wife and I live tiny and travel full-time. We’re currently in upstate New York about 30 minutes NW of Rochester.

Depending on where you’re located, I might be willing to help launch new BigFix User Groups… but you or some local contact will have to own the BUG.

Please DM me if you have any questions or would like to continue this chat.

@Jstev - this is also the aim of BigFix Leadership. There’s been a bit of a hangover effect from the Covid years, but we aim to increase the physical presence of user groups wherever we can over the course of the coming year.

I am also happy to discuss with you via DM.

I am actually working remotely full time from the Atlanta area but most of my team are out of the Phoenix Area. I don’t really know many BigFixers out of the Atlanta area yet.

@Jared… could you help @Jstev connect with the BUG in the ATL?

If you’re not planning on attending in-person or haven’t yet registered, please refrain from voting until your registration is confirmed. Thank you.

PS - Tucker’s Landing RV Park is located at 4699 Kellogg Avenue Cincinnati, Ohio 45226 and we’re looking at having the gathering on our over-sized camp-site or at a pavilion near the marina. More details to come as we continue our planning.

(I and offspring already have tickets to the Reds game.)

That is crazy. :slight_smile:

So to those NOT from the greater Cincinnati area… DO NOT BELIEVE the locals when they call their “meat sauce” as “chili” Having been raised in Dallas, Texas and then spending time in Georgia and other southern states… what they call “chili” in Cincinnati is just an abomination!!! :nauseated_face::weary::face_vomiting::clown_face:

Checking in from SoCal, where fish tacos are just “food”, the skeeziest places are the best eating, and there’s no reason to EVER patronize Chipotle.

  1. Regional delicacies are wonderful! They’re regional for reasons, gong back decades if not centuries, reflecting social and demographic histories.
  2. Never let a Texan tell you their way of preparing meat is the only way.

LMAO… so I wasn’t born in Texas… just spent 12 years as a child there because of my bio-family. Technically, I was born a Hoosier… but have been an Ohio resident for approaching 5 years now… but ultimately think I that I should have been born Canadian… EHH?

HA! I’ve been saying for years that I shoulda been a Spaniard. My personal body clock does NOT align with US concepts of working hours.

Greetings Ohio Valley BigFix’ers!!! :wave:

Our 3 customer and 4 HCLSW presenters are confirmed and I’ve received approval from my leadership to expense the attendee’s lunch. I’m waiting to hear back from one presenter team on their title so that I can publish the agenda.

Presently Mission BBQ is leading in the poll, but there’s still time to vote. IF you have dietary restrictions OR food allergies, PLEASE email me ASAP so that we can plan accordingly.

PLEASE remember that registration closes on Eventbrite this Friday (08/04). This is also when ALL polls will be closed.

If you plan on joining us at Tucker’s Landing RV Park (campground map) after the BUG, please make sure to bring a chair as my wife and I live tiny and only have enough for ourselves. PLEASE NOTE this is an unofficial gathering after the BUG and is BYOB.

If you wish to join @bradsexton81 or @atlauren at the Cincinnati Reds game, please DM them.
