Virtual PowerShell Group
This is the virtual PowerShell Group. We have an ongoing discussion channel available for support with PowerShell questions on the chat.freenode.net IRC server #PowerShell channel. You can find someone online there almost any time of the day or night, but it's busiest during US office hours and late evening up until around midnight east coast time (GMT -5). We also have a few regularly scheduled events. The current primary scheduled events are weekly discussions centered around the PowerScripting Podcast show. Those discussions happen during the live recording of the show (usually at 9:30 EST) in the #PowerScriptingPodcast channel on the FreeNode IRC network (and are also available from the video web page). We have a collaborative editing server set up for sharing source during discussions and notifying the channel about updated posts, and we monitor Twitter for related queries as well. For more information, see our page at User Group Support Services.
