Looks like I spoke too soon about being the last time I post here. Trying to utilize the Microsoft platform for groups hasn't really worked well. We're going to try something different. Please join me over at our DUG sponsored Meetup:
https://www.meetup.com/microsoft-dynamics-365-winston-salem/I will try to cross-post events in this space once we have things scheduled.
Why the shift?
1. Haven't really been able to adapt my workflow to include the MS group area.
2. Meetup provides nice tools, a good mobile client, and some other nice features the MS platform doesn't give. It's a very mature site for handling communities that's been around for a very long time.
What will you find with Meetup?
1. You register as yourself. The registration is specifically for Meetup, not DUG, not NAVUG/BCUG.
2. When you join the group there is an optional survey that will ask you who you work for, are you a user, partner, or ISV, what you want from the group, and what products you use. Feel free to answer, but you don't have to.
3. There are tools for scheduling events, a message board, a place to share photos, and a few other odds and ends.
4. There is a mobile app with notifications, messaging, and everything else you'd expect that you can use if you like.
5. It's free.
Please join and encourage others who have been active in the past to join.
