VMware User Group Whiteboard Meetings

Azarya has asked for permission to use rooms from work for smaller, non-sponsored whiteboard sessions in an informal setting. These are great for those studying for their VCP, VCAP and VCDX certifications, those who want to talk their VMware designs with peers, and to get more involved in the community and look for general help. They will be announced via the @nycvmug twitter handle - since they aren't sponsored there's really no requirement so we will try to have them monthly or every two weeks.

Other User Groups we're attending

Several of us are assisting other NYC User Groups (found in meetup.com) for example the NYC BSD User Group, Google SRE and the NYC OpenStack group. Feel free to browse and reach out if you are interested beyond VMware and want to coordinate assisting!
