Introducing the Norwegian User Group for Unified Communications

on
Welcome all to the newly created MUCUGN for all Unified Communications Enthusiasts!

This is a new User Group for Lync and Exchange enthusiast in Norway, of which I am proud of being part of starting up with a group of highly competent peers.

  • The group will hold its meetings virtually, using the technology we are all here for, and you can join from where ever you are. As long as you have a supported client (Native Lync client or a compatible web browser)
  • The group is available for all enthusiasts. You don't have to have a deep technical knowledge, just the passion for UC
    • There will be technical presentations and end-user presentations, ranging from deep-dives into deployments and troubleshooting, to how-to make the most out of you client's features.
    • Topics will be driven by your feedback and wishes. We will listen to your wishes, and have a poll of topics before events.
  • Our first event will feature a joint topic of both Lync and Exchange
    • Following events will be split into Lync or Exchange events
    • These product events will each be held 3 months apart (effectively holing a session every month and a half) 
  • The group is open for suggestions on format, timing, topics and more
So, welcome all fellow Norwegian UC enthusiasts, to our group. I hope to see you there!
