Next meeting: 18th of November
Posted on November 10, 2008 by whassaname
We’re happy to announce that Sydney UC will be meeting next Tuesday, November the 18th.
This meeting will be held at Gen-I’s offices at Level 23, World Square, Sydney (World Square is 680 George St).
On the agenda will be Microsoft’s announcement of OCS 2007 R2, a discussion on the recent Microsoft/Telstra S+S announcements, as well as updates on the latest UC and mobility devices and hardware.
We’ve decided to experiment a little, and for this meeting we’ll be trialling a lunchtime slot – so the kick-off time is 1:30pm. This is based on feedback that many of you have lives in the real-world, and evening meetings can impact on your work/life balance – which is why we’re also having the meeting at Gen-I, as the CBD is more central than North Ryde.
However for those of you who can’t make it or have prior commitments – we will also be making the meeting available through LiveMeeting and it will be recorded so you can watch later (details to come later).
Lunch will be provided.
If you plan on attending please register at http://cid-00095a6319ef0c7a.events.live.com send an email to sydneyuc@live.com.au so we can ensure we have enough food. You can also subscribe to this event via RSS for updates/changes.
We hope to see you there!

Sydney UC kick-off lunch
Posted on September 6, 2008 by whassaname
Thanks to those who attended the Sydney UC kick-off lunch on Thursday at Tech.Ed Australia. 20 of us turned up to enjoy a hot pie and cold beverage, and to informally meet like-minded UC professionals and enthusiasts.
We will be having our first meeting some-time in October at Microsoft in North Ryde, and via LiveMeeting for those who can’t make it in-person.
Details on date/time and content will be posted here later in September… keep an eye-out, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Sydney UC to launch at Tech.Ed 2008
Posted on August 29, 2008 by whassaname
Are you an Exchange, OCS, VoIP, or video guru?
If you work (or play) in Unified Communications, we are kicking off a new UC community next week at Tech.Ed in Sydney.
Come along and meet your peers in the industry, and see what we’re planning for the user-group.
This first session will be a meet & greet, and we will also present a roadmap of content in upcoming meetings. Future meetings will be held at Microsoft in North Ryde, as well as via LiveMeeting.
At the initial kick-off meeting we’ll also be joined by our buddies in Melbourne as they too launch a local UC user-group.
Your hosts will be Johann Kruse (Microsoft), Derrick Buckley (Gen-I, OCS MVP), Craig Pringle (Gen-I, MVP) James McCutcheon (nsquared, MVP), and Dr. Neil (nsquared, MVP, Microsoft Regional Director).
So if you’re at Tech.Ed next week, pencil this into your diaries for lunchtime on Thursday September 4th, from 1:15pm-2pm. We are still working on locking down a room, but check back here for updates.
If you’re not at Tech.Ed that’s fine - we’ll also broadcast by LiveMeeting!
We look forward to seeing you there!
