Sessions
Craig Pringle (Unified Communications Practice Leader at Gen-i Australia) will be explaining why Unified Communications (UC) is getting so much attention right now.
Microsoft is making a big push into the UC space, and this session will give you an overview of what UC is, why it matters and how it applies to your business. He’ll also be covering some of the pitfalls with adopting this latest technology. More details…
Wave Launch recap
Prior to Craig’s talk I’ll be giving a quick recap of the Microsoft 2008 stack launch that happened around the country (and the world) these past few weeks. I’ll quickly cover what was included in the release and the main benefits as they apply to various businesses.
I’ll then be opening the meeting to discussion about how we shape SBTUG for the remainder of the year. Speaking with many of you lately there’s plenty of great ideas flowing. So, I’m asking for your help in organising the group better as we proceed.
Plus, we’ll have a quick ‘Member Spot’ – this is a new item each meeting where we get to meet one of the SBTUG members and find out a bit more about who they are and what they do.
And as usual we’ll be having our monthly News roundup from 6pm.
New SBTUG web site
Check out the revamped SBTUG web site.
We’ve made it into a Wiki, which means anyone can edit the pages (after simple Registration). Please feel free to contribute to the site.
Don’t forget, if you haven’t already, you can join the SBTUG group on Facebook.
And please RSVP for Wed night’s event here. This helps us know how many people are coming (for catering).
Last but not least, you can always follow us on Twitter here.

Love the new look of your site. The lighter background makes everything easier to read. Is your site mobile/PDA friendly? I noticed some sites are starting to use the http://m.domain… naming convention for mobile sites. I seem to be spending more time browsing from my PDA smartphone so this would be handy.
Cheers

Hi Tony,
Good point – I need to investigate the PDA friendliness, it doesn’t seem to at the moment.
Thanks,
Craig
