I’ve just had an email through this morning for the upcoming Scottish VMware User Group. The next event is due to take place in Glasgow on the afternoon of Thursday the 21st of January.
Interest certainly appears to be picking up, with over 200 registered Scottish VMUG users already. Though there is a long way to go before we reach the dizzy heights set by the Dutch VMUG which has over 3000 members of which 600 attended the most recent VMUG meeting.

I’ve been chatting to an ex colleague recently who was trying to get a Scottish VMware User Group setup. Through his hard work and determination he’s finally managed to get it off the ground, here’s hoping that we get enough interest to keep it up and running in the future.
The first meeting agenda looks good with Mike Laverick of RTFM attending to discuss vSphere 4 storage. We also have a talk from our hosts for the day, State Street alongside EMC about the storage setup for their VMware infrastructure.

An ex-colleague of mine has been trying to get a Scotland VMUG together for a little while now, unfortunately without much luck. So I was very happy to hear John Troyer from the VMware community talk about an online VMUG on a recent community podcast. Perfect for those of us struggling to get to the only other VMUG I’m aware of in the UK, which is in London.
Alan Renouf, otherwise known as Virtual-Al has posted details of this first online VMUG on his website, an extract can be seen below
Based on your feedback I would like to announce the first Unofficial Online VMware User Group.
The Agenda at the moment is as follows:
- Introduction
- Presentation and Demo of The Virtualization EcoShell Initiative by Scott Herold
- Virtual Coffee break (bring your own coffee)
- Overview and Demonstration of vSphere new features by a VMware Employee
- Finish and details of next Unofficial Online VMUG
