In response to a request from Pfizer, EMC is looking into the possibility of sponsoring a NetWorker User Group. The one question they asked me was, "Who else would be interested?" Reasonable enough for them to ask, but I don't
have a clue.

I would envision a one-day meeting, possibly in Manhattan, possibly in or around February 2007. It would be a chance for us users to get to know each other, to learn about new NetWorker-related offerings and to express our concerns to the product managers. There would be presentations, but also a
back-and-forth session similar to the NetWorker "birds of a feather"
sessions at EMC World. And as much of the NetWorker roadmap as EMC is
willing to share.

Would anyone be interested in attending such a meeting?

During a meeting with several Legato product managers and other specialists, I mentioned this idea. This meeting took place only two or three months after EMC acquired Legato. They were all for it. I was asked to contact certain people at EMC about starting up a group in my area (Philadelphia). I did that, but nothing ever came of it. I would definitely like to join a NetWorker Users Group, but only if it was local to the Philadelphia area. Hell, I could probably host the group's meetings if there is enough interest in it.
