<br />
What are our @nycvmug whiteboard sessions all about? Community, collaboration, geeking out, sharing, talking shop, socializing, deep dives, working things out, using your words, and then having a burger and a beer afterwards and talking some more.<br />
<br />
If this was an Instagram post (or a tweet), that previous paragraph would basically be written with those same words in hashtag form. People do search on hashtags, right? If you are looking for this kind of quality engagement at your local user group, then you should join us.<br />
<br />
Like good improv, you never know who will be in the room and what we will talk about. But you will be in a supportive, collaborative environment. With people who want to help other people. People who want to share what they know. People who have questions and people who are willing to help find answers.<br />
<br />

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 are announced
via the @nycvmug twitter handle - since they aren't sponsored there's

We're looking to continue doing these on a more frequent basis than regular sponsor-driven VMUG meetings. Again, space is limited,</span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> but this also means that everyone is paying attention and interacting with the person who is white boarding.</span></span></span><br />

held another Whiteboard Session last week at Touro College. This one
was the best yet. Not just for the fact that there was a lot of in-depth
technical knowledge being shared but a third of the room was filled
with new faces. That's one of the great things about these meetings. You
get to interact with people you normally would not get the chance to
sit down and talk with. </span></span></div>

things.</span></span></div>

As
always, we really appreciate every person that came to share and help
the others, and again Azarya for arranging the meeting space and making
everyone feel welcome! We can't thank his employer, Touro College, and
his management (and all in the IITS department) enough for fostering the
spirit of user groups and the vCommunity. Learn more about the Touro
College and University System at <a href="http://www.touro.edu/" style="color: #7d181e; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">www.touro.edu</a><br />

We're looking to continue doing these on a more frequent basis than regular sponsor-driven VMUG meetings. Again, space is limited,</span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"> but this also means that everyone is paying attention and interacting with the person who is white boarding.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />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.</span><br />

This event is free, but there is no sponsor. This means a couple of things; </span><br />

The power of community is amazing, and all you have to do is show up and participate. Make new friends, get a question answered, help someone else!</span><br />

early-April whiteboard session which <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">was held on 4/4/2017 </span>was another success! These informal sessions are becoming very popular for a number of reasons. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- People love coming to VMUG meetings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Having others look over your project plans and helping to vet them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Hearing ideas that you may not of thought of. Some cutting edge topics are being discussed at these meetings that some users have never been exposed to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Just geeking out and talking tech with some like-minded individuals. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Having an opportunity to talk to SMEs in smaller group settings. How often do you get to ask a VCDX or vExpert questions in-person? (Correct Answer: Every VMUG Meeting!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In this session we had the presence of <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">some</span> special guests - Niran Even-Chen <a href="https://twitter.com/NiranEC" target="_blank">@NiranEC</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, Dual VCDX and part of the CTO Ambassadors program at VMware, and Brendan Peterson </span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://twitter.com/petes_revenge" target="_blank">@petes_revenge</a></span></span>, Network Architect <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">from Viacom, Inc. who hel<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ped spread some networking knowledge while learning some virtualization goodness in the process.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Topics
ranged with each presenter: Multi PSC/vCenter migration, Network migration, DMZ design with Cisco UCS, VLAN migration, datacenter migration and NSX integration, Security & Compliance using the TLS Configurator Tool just to name a few. We also had a mix of VMware engineers, vendor SE's, network architects and a dual-VCDX from VMware!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The following is a re-post from our previous meetings, but it all still applies :)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This is <b>not</b> a traditional VMUG meeting with a sponsor; it's really just a small room with two whiteboards and a TV to connect the laptop, where fellow VMware users can come and discuss ideas, projects, or whatever suits their fancy. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i>VMware User Group Whiteboard Meetings</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />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.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>If you come, you will learn something, and meet someone, so it's a great opportunity.</b> We have asked several of the VMUG members who have advanced certifications like VCP and VCAP to assist, in case there are people studying for the certifications who would like any tips or clarifications.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Once you register you will get the building security instructions. This event is free, but there is no sponsor. This means a couple of things; </span><br />

<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">there is no set agenda, we don't know at what time we will be finished, it will depend on your level of interest in the current conversation. You are free to leave if you got what you wanted</span></li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">you can count that we will look for a burger/beer afterwards, but since we're each paying for our own stuff, don't expect a big party, just some guys that got together in a bar to keep talking!</span></li>
</ul>
<br style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Really look forward to seeing you there and making these a normal occurrence. The power of community is amazing, and all you have to do is show up and participate. Make new friends, get a question answered, help someone else!</span><br />

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 are announced via the @nycvmug twitter handle - since they aren't sponsored there's really no requirement so we will try to have them monthly.</span></span><br />

It is nothing short of amazing how just agreeing on a date and time to "talk about VMware" with no set agenda can yield interesting conversations and help everyone form ties in their local community. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a community, <i>any </i>chance we get to meet is important - when we get together, we share knowledge and help each other grow. This meeting format is great especially if you want to develop public speaking or whiteboard skills! This little time, invested once a month, will help your development as an IT professional.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this session we had the presence of a special guest - David Aldrich, <a href="https://twitter.com/mako2big" target="_blank">@mako2big</a> on twitter, who works as an SE for Zerto, who the VMUG leaders met recently. David came in, not representing Zerto, but as an engineer who can help others. When we told him about this session, he was excited at the opportunity to hang out with everyone and made the commitment to show up with no other gain than meeting people. He was super cool and we hope to see him again, as well as any other vendor SE's in the area who want to get to know and help their local VMUG community.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Azarya, who was once again our gracious host, was also able to setup a live camera session - we actually had Nick Scuola attend this way! I attach some pictures of the session, which had some great conversations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Topics ranged with each presenter: vCenter PSC/vCenter design for two sites, troubleshooting backup performance, designing backup solutions with existing hardware, and of course, we threw some ideas with Zerto too (we had to take advantage of David). Another thing that was super cool was that Azarya invited one of his network engineers to our meeting and he was able to interact with a bunch of VMware nerds :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

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."</span><br style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>If you come, you will learn something, and meet someone, so it's a great opportunity.</b> We have asked several of the VMUG members who have advanced certifications like VCP and VCAP to assist, in case there are people studying for the certifications who would like any tips or clarifications.</span><br style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We're happy to confirm the details for our first "NYC VMUG whiteboard session". This is <b>not</b> a traditional VMUG meeting with a sponsor; it's really just a small room with two whiteboards and a TV to connect the laptop, where fellow VMware users can come and discuss ideas, projects, or whatever suits their fancy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some of you will remember we announced this at our October VMUG meeting:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

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."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>If you come, you will learn something, and meet someone, so it's a great opportunity.</b> We have asked several of the VMUG members who have advanced certifications like VCP and VCAP to assist, in case there are people studying for the certifications who would like any tips or clarifications.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are the details:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Monday December 12, 2016 , 6pm</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/500+7th+Ave,+New+York,+NY+10018/@40.7531589,-73.9915485,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c259ac7b941903:0xcb0a4d6a0e42963e!8m2!3d40.7531589!4d-73.9893598" target="_blank">500 7th Ave</a> - very close to Times Square, so transportation should not be an issue</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">10 people max - have to register with <a href="https://twitter.com/arielsanchezmor" target="_blank">@arielsanchezmor</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/az_ny" target="_blank">@az_ny</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/nycvmug" target="_blank">@nycvmug</a> to be added to security list before 4pm on the day of the event</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once you register you will get the building security instructions. This event is free, but there is no sponsor. This means a couple of things; </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">there is no set agenda, we don't know at what time we will be finished, it will depend on your level of interest in the current conversation. You are free to leave if you got what you wanted</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">you can count that we will look for a burger/beer afterwards, but since we're each paying for our own stuff, don't expect a big party, just some guys that got together in a bar to keep talking!</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Really look forward to seeing you there and making these a normal occurrence. The power of community is amazing, and all you have to do is show up and participate. Make new friends, get a question answered, help someone else!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Please remember this is a technical event for VMware users and administrators to "geek out", not a networking or recruiting type of meeting.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each presenter was told in advance that they only had 10 minutes to convey <a href="http://professionalvmware.com/brownbags/vbrownbag-presenter-guidelines/" target="_blank">a "non marketing or sales, but technical, teach us something!" type of session</a>. This type of presentation typically yields all manners of information nuggets which are hard earned and thus highly valued. This is one of the reasons why vBrownBag has grown so dramatically, <a href="http://professionalvmware.com/brownbags/supporting-vbrownbag/" target="_blank">both online and in actual conferences</a>. You can read all about vBrownBag <a href="http://professionalvmware.com/brownbags/what-is-vbrownbag/" target="_blank">here</a>, and sign up for future activities (<a href="http://professionalvmware.com/brownbags/" target="_blank">online in several regions/ time zones</a>, or for live conferences, such as <a href="http://professionalvmware.com/2016/07/vbrownbag-techtalks-at-vmworld-usa" target="_blank">VMworld 2016!</a>). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing that I was amazed of was how <i><b>few </b></i>people in the NJ and NYC area knew about vBrownBag. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once you delve into the vBrownBag community you will find that there is nothing else that provides this quality of content for so little (ie, free). Even though most will agree that vBrownBag started as a VMware focused podcast, the truth is it covers whatever is hot in the infrastructure management world, since it obeys the wishes of its community. There are several podcasts dedicated to Cisco, OpenStack, Devops topics and career advice. A big focus is also on helping people study for certifications, which is rare in the sense that you can cover all the blueprint items in one hour videos for the price of a Youtube search :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What I personally love about vBrownBag is the flexibility and the sense of community you are able to create, even if across large distances! I'm blessed to have been able to learn from, contribute, and now also be part of the production behind the scenes. VMUG and vBrownBag have the same objective in mind, which is </span><a href="http://www.demitasse.co.nz/wordpress2/2016/04/make-vmug-great-again/" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">all about the user</a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Remember that although vendors are allowed to present, the vast majority of videos were created by one of your peers who decided he could contribute some of his time to others.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Getting back on track - after taking the videos and attempting to insert the PPTs inside them so the slides were readable, we've uploaded them in the official vBrownBag Youtube channel and they are now available for everyone worldwide to enjoy. Thanks again to our presenters who so graciously accepted the opportunity to help others!</span><br />

Even with a last minute cancellation, we were able to get an attendance of 10 very interested VCDX hopefuls. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The venue, courtesy of Anton Z, was spectacular, and the two VCDX's (Niran Even-Chen and Agustin Malanco) that delivered the workshop were great at conveying the most up to date information while keeping the session lively. We were able to dive deep into the questions that the audience had; several details of the blueprint and the overall documentation process, which had stumbled our group, were cleared up. Thankfully, we were able to stay a bit later than anticipated and in the end everyone came out highly satisfied with the workshop!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm sure when we mention it in the UserCon (happening the very next day) more people would have attended if they could. If you are just hearing about this and would like to get involved with a group preparing for the VCDX certification, I'd love for you to reach out - we are still at a point were newcomers can get a lot of value. I'd also like to get your information so that we can prepare an "interested in VCDX" list for the VCDX program and submit a formal request for an official workshop for the area in 2017.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anton Z, Niran Even-Chen, Agustin Malanco, Jorvin Martinez, Carlos Munoz, Melissa Palmer, Azarya Shaulov/Ariel Sanchez, Ariel Antigua, Stalin Pena, Mike Martino and Ankit Mehrotra.</span><br />

One of the best features is that followers <i>is not the same </i>as friends. Anybody can be a follower, and very few people impose restrictions on others from following them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I find it works very well for VMware enthusiasts since it's encouraged by the company itself and there are very well established hashtags. Some of the coolest vCommunity efforts have happened thanks to twitter's worldwide reach with simple hastags like #vExpert, #VCP, #VCDX and #vBrownBag.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So without further ado, here are twitter handles of VMware users (everything from customers to partners and VMware employees) that are in the area and maintain a personal and public twitter presence. Please reach out to the official @nycvmug handle if you want anything corrected in this post or you don't want to be listed for whatever reason.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is similar to the <a href="http://professionalvmware.com/category/vbrownbag-lolcategory/vbbtechtalks/" target="_blank">TechTalks</a> format that is used in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2rC-8e38bUV7cuANXMpcGh7trffXXQZv" target="_blank">VMworld</a> and other conferences. The presenter gets up on a stage and gives a 10 minute, but highly technical, talk. Real state in the UserCon is always at a premium, but working with VMUG we were able to get a space in the "Hudson Foyer" (close to where </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">registration and </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">food is served, which is a high traffic area).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's time to introduce the speakers. Each one of them has helped the area before in either VMUG sessions or local Social Labs.</span><br />
