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) on the PowerScripting-Podcast channel on the c.ustream.tv IRC server (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.
Great Book Discounts This Week!
Did you know that the O'Reilly store sells books by other publishers? They sell MS Press, No Starch Press, Pragmatic Bookshelf, and more. Why do I mention this? Because they have a discount for our user group members: just use the code DSUG when you're checking out to get 40% off of any book, and 50% off eBooks (which they make available in ePub, PDF, and MOBI formats).
Microsoft User Group Survey
Microsoft is asking us to pass on a link to this survey to our user group participants. It closes June 25th, so don't take too long before you fill it out.
May 19 in Rochester - PowerShell in practice: scripting guidelines and best practices
This month in Rochester will be a continuation, in a sense, of the main discussion from last month's Script Club...
What's the best day of the week for our virtual brown-bag? This is an hour-long, lunch-time (1PM EST) event.
Would you attend a PowerShell virtual (LiveMeeting) brown-bag (lunch) meeting without pre-set topics?
More Features on PowerShellGroup.org
I just wanted to let you all know ... if you have a user group or script club hosted here on PowerShellGroup.org, you can create forum threads (like this one) for discussion!
We can also set up private group email discussion/announcement lists for you, with an address @PowerShellGroup.org (eg: Rochester@PowerShellGroup.org or Tampa@PowerShellGroup.org, etc.)
We also allow attachments on posts, but there's unfortunately a size limit imposed by our PHP server, so if you need to upload larger files, we can set up your administrator with an FTP account so you can upload larger files like user group presentations, recordings, etc.
