March Madness: The fun stuff you can do with PowerShell
Thursday March 14th, at 6:30PM, Microsoft PowerShell MVP Joel Bennett will be speaking and sharing the diversity of the projects in the PowerShell community.
This meeting will be less formal than the usual slide-deck-and-demos presentation, and we're really hoping that you will participate by searching ahead of time for some interesting, fun, or just plain weird uses of PowerShell ... and bringing them to share.

PowerShell Web Access and Restricted Remoting Endpoints
The February meeting of the Upstate NY PowerShell User Group in Rochester will be on February 7th (please note this is a change from the usual 2nd Thursday, as that would be Valentine's day). As usual we will meet at New Horizons in Rochester and will start at 6:30PM (with Pizza & networking at 6PM).
Our speaker this month is Warren Frame, a Systems Engineer from Rochester General who will walk us through some remoting features and API.

December Script Club (Dec 13)
Here in Rochester we tend to have presentations almost every month, but every once in awhile, we've got to have a Script Club, and we usually do that in December.
We are meeting on the 2nd Thursday of the month (December 13th), as usual, and we're having PowerShell Script Club.
What is a PowerShell Script Club?
Script Clubs are like a hands on lab without a set topic or teacher. You bring an idea for a script, and ask your fellow PowerShell users for help getting the script written. We'll break up into groups and we'll work on scripts. Please bring your ideas, your challenges, your laptops, and your half-written scripts. At New Horizons we're blessed with a lab full of computers, so you don't have to bring a laptop to script (in fact, feel free to just bring your idea, or put a draft of your script on http://PoshCode.org or http://Pastebin.com), but it obviously helps to have whatever you're used to.

Creating your first Module - November 8th in Rochester
Now that we've talked (last month) about why we would write PowerShell Modules, we're ready to talk more about what goes into them. On November 8th, Joel Bennett (Microsoft PowerShell MVP) will be presenting again, so please join us as we discuss what goes into a module, how to get started on your own, and what the important parts of a Module Manifest are (and how to write one that works in both PowerShell 2 and 3).

June 19th: Pre-Summer Script Club!
Summer is nearly upon us, and our gracious hosts at New Horizons have asked us to forgo meeting in July and August, so with this one last official meeting before September, we're going to have a real Script Club. Several times in the last few months we've planned on having a presentation and a script club, and it hasn't worked out that way, so this time we're going to do just the script club.

November & December cancelled in Rochester
So, after cancelling November at the last minute due to mandatory overtime at my job, we're going to voluntarily cancel December's meeting just because it's scheduled the Tuesday before Christmas, and we're all too busy.
I'll post up my plans for January in a couple of weeks, after some informal polling on the mailing list.
