We haven\u2019t had any bandwidth problems doing remote presentations in 2016 to groups as far away as South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, plus Norway, Bulgaria, UK, India, Ukraine, Poland, Ireland, and Canada. This way we can spread the community love around user groups everywhere that we wouldn\u2019t usually get to in person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note: we have our own Webex accounts which we\u00a0generally\u00a0use, or we can use your GoToMeeting or Webex, but you must use computer audio &#8211; we won&#8217;t call in by phone as the sound quality is too poor. We also will not\u00a0use Skype\/Lync as we\u2019ve had too many problems\u00a0with it around user group laptops and sound.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, calling all user group leaders!<\/strong> If you\u2019d like one of us (me, Kimberly, Jon, Erin, Tim) to present remotely for you in 2017 (or maybe even multiple times), <a href=\"mailto:\/\/paul@sqlskills.com?subject=2017%20user%20group%20presentation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">send me an email<\/a>\u00a0and be sure to include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Details of which user group you represent (and if sending from a shared user group account, your name)<\/li>\n<li>The usual day of the month, meeting time, and timezone of the user group<\/li>\n<li>Which months you have available, starting in January 2017 (a list of available dates would be ideal)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And I\u2019ll let you know who\u2019s available with what topics so you can pick.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the catch? There is no catch. We\u2019re just continuing\u00a0our community involvement next year and we all love presenting :-)<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t think that because you\u2019re only reading this now (maybe a few weeks or months after the posting date) that we can\u2019t fit you in \u2013 send me an email and we\u2019ll see what we can do.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re really looking forward to engaging with you all!<\/p>\n<p>Cheers<\/p>\n<p>PS By all means pass the word on to any SharePoint and .Net user group leaders you know too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By the end of December, we at SQLskills will have presented remotely (and a few in-person) to 94\u00a0user groups and PASS virtual chapters around the world in 2016!
