Greetings from the NEWMUG Committee...
It's been quite some time since we last gathered in Atlantic City, NJ
as NEWMUG members. We attempted to follow up on that successful
meeting with another, but ultimately we could not gather together
enough participation in the presentations to make it a worthwhile
endeavor.
We have never really struggled to find sponsors or locations; we've
always struggled to find presentations from within the membership. As
you may already know, a user group is at its core about users of
something. We, each of us, can tell a story about how we're using
Maximo, what challenges we face, what opportunities we see. We are
not interested in a series of vendor displays and product pitches;
although interesting and useful, they have many other venues. Again,
this is supposed to be users coming together to speak among
like-minded professionals, as peers, openly and honestly about
Maximo-related topics. We're not a user group without active users.
We're going to try this again. We have blocked out November 8th,
2012 as the next NEWMUG meeting. It would be held in Wilmington,
Delaware at 405 North King Street, just a few blocks from the
Wilmington Amtrak Station (WIL). We have sponsorship from Banetti
already, so we have the place, the time, and the backing. All we need
is an active membership. If you are interested in reviving this user
group, contact registration@newmug.org and let us know. We will wait about one week and look at the responses. If we see enough positive
response, and especially if we see some presentation ideas, we will
proceed with the next meeting. If not, if there's no support from
within, then we will have our answer.
We hope to see you all soon in November.
