October 10th Meeting - JOHAN

Our next MN System Center User Group meeting will be Monday, Oct 10th at 5:00pm at Microsoft's Bloomington HQ. Food and drinks will be provided by BDNA starting at 4:30pm.

We are extremely excited to announce that Johan Arwidmark will be speaking!  Johan is THE name in deployment.  He usually does 5 - 10 presentations at MMS each year.  Johan is in town teaching a class at Benchmark.  I'm not sure if that's sold out yet, but it's worth checking out as you get 3 whole days with the master.

We've moved the meeting date this month to align with Johan's time in Bloomington.  There won't be another meeting until November - this is the October meeting on the 10th.

We're also holding elections as John Nelson (#2) and Richard Zuraff have given their time for a year.  Thanks to both for their time!

Use the contact page on the website if you'd like to put your name in for president or vice president.

To maximize Johan's time, we're going to try to get the elections going ASAP so they're done with by 5pm.  So please don't be late.  No online voting, sorry.  Same private ballot as last year.

Please register at ClicktoAttend.  Also, please don't register if you can't come.  The whole point is to help us gauge food count.  Last month nearly 20 people who registered didn't show!
