This SearchDomino story was passed on to me about User Groups
Tags :Rant
You can read the full story right
here. It talks about the possible
decline of User Groups in the Lotus community. I have been a part
of VALU for a couple years, mainly in the technology role as we host their
server. This server in turn hosts numerous user group Quickplace
sites for groups across the country. Well this past year Lotus/IBM
decided not to fund VALU anymore directly. Which means of course
them funding the server they have here has become an issue for all the
groups that relied on it for their presence on the web.
Overall Ruth summed it up quite nicely.
Groups are vanishing but it is nice to see some new ones pop up and
others still doing well. In St Louis I was an officer of the local
user group mentioned in the article,
but due to time constraints and other commitments, I moved to an attendee
only. The core people still show month to month, new ones dribble
in. Ed
was a help in bringing in some far away people a few weeks ago for sure.
So share your experience, here or with
the article. I am curious how many of you attend or the other extreme
of not having one in your area.
