Greetings!
GoldenGateThe weather did keep some from attending our first meeting of the year.  So that no one has to miss out on any of the information that is presented at the monthly member meetings, we've decided to start a newsletter to keep you up to date.
January's Meeting 
Dave McCandless gave a terrific presentation on "What's Up with Cloud Computing".  It was a very interactive meeting as he took us through the best definitions, 5 Essential Characteristics, 3 Service Models, 4 Deployment models, Framework & Challenges. 

Dave has given us his presentation for other members to view.
 
We're hoping to have Dave present again later on this year.
You Pick the Topic
Two of our sponsors, Robert Half Technology and Learn-IT!, have offered to hold our 2010 meetings in their locations in San Francisco.  They also will be presenting at a few of our upcoming meetings.

Instead of us picking the topics, we're giving you the choice of what topics will be presented.  Click to submit your choices.
We'll be closing the survey on Friday, January 29th.


Our next meeting will be Wednesday, February 17th @ Robert Half Technology, San Francisco.

We've received feedback that Wednesday & Friday are the preferred meeting days.  We'll be adding more Friday meetings to our schedule so more of you can attend.
Open Board Positions
We have two open board positions - VP of Membership and VP of Vendor Relations.

We're looking for people who are interested in promoting networking, collaboration & knowledge-sharing amongst those of us in IT Service & Support.  It's your opportunity to continue to build our Chapter.

Time commitment is minimal and there are a few benefits with being a board member.  Contact us to find out more.
