Community Notes
The Next New England SMS User Group Meeting is November 1st at Fidelity Investments, 400 Puritan Way, Marlborough, MA
To register for this event, visit the Microsoft Group Events Registration site: http://www.clicktoattend.com/?id=112417; and reference Event Code: 112417
We are privileged to have both Dustin Ingalls and Steve Kaczmarek from Microsoft attending and presenting to our group!
Dustin is now assigned to the Waltham office and coordinating the acquisition of Softricity, and its integration into SCCM 2007.
Steve leads the Documentation Team back in Redmond. he says "My goal in meeting with on site customers is primarily to assess how the SMS admins approach their work, and especially where they go for information about making SMS work in their organization. As the doc manager, I am looking for contrastive feedback from customers about the content we are currently providing - quality, discoverability, usability, completeness, and format. I'd like to talk about the direction we are going with the SCCM content, and brainstorm about what can make the "content" into truly usable "information". I'd like to talk with the folks that implement and maintain SMS, as well as with those that use it daily."
