On Friday in MSDN Flash, Todd Sussman and I are announcing the Phoenix Connected Systems User Group.
The goal of the Phoenix Connected Systems User Group is to educate, evangelize and inform the community about the direction in which the Microsoft Connected Systems Division (and software engineering) is going, and how developers and architects of various, yet intersecting disciplines can start to prepare for what is ahead while serving the community through knowledge sharing and evangelism of current shipping technologies.
Part of our charter is to grow out our leadership team to include a Membership Director, Program Director Treasurer and product anchors (i.e. .NET 3.5, WCF, WF and BizTalk).
If you would like to help serve the community or are interested in learning more about leadership opportunities, or are interested in helping us get the website up, please meet at the Microsoft Phoenix office on 5/30 at 4:00 pm or contact rick@rickgaribay.net or toddsussman@gmail.com for more information.
Also, please stay tuned to http://rickgaibay.net and http://AZGroups.com for meeting information and a link to the PCSUG website which is forthcoming.
