UKLUG - wrapup

Well, we're finally home and almost unpacked. It's been a busy few weeks!
UKLUG on Wednesday was a great success. I've just realised that *I* haven't said anything about yet, which is very remiss of me - so here we go! As I said at the end of day, the one word that I really wanted to say was 'thankyou'.
Firstly, thankyou to everyone who battled the M25 and made it to Hatfield. Apparently, traffic was a nightmare that day - so thankyou to the 100+ people that came along. Secondly, thankyou to all our sponsors that made the event happen: Computacenter, Commontime, Blackberry, Teamstudio, Ytria, HADSL and Symantec. We've had good feedback already about their attendance. Thirdly, thanks to our speakers - Kevin Cavanaugh, Vince Shuurman, Paul, Bill, everyone at Prudential, S&N, HSBC, Standard Life and the Salvation Army.
Finally, thanks to the team of people that made things happen - Paul, Matt, Julian, Mike, Bill, Frank, Justyn, Georgina, Beth, Darren, Aarti - and everyone else who I'm sure I've just forgotten. Also - a big thankyou to Mark Calleran of the Salvation Army. For not only presenting, but MC'ing the whole morning for us and keeping everyone entertained.
So, what next I hear you cry (or I asked in my session)? Well, firstly - no firm plans yet. It's time to relax a little. But, we do have plans for UKLUG 2008, and the idea of a UKLUG Lotusphere Comes to You in February seemed to go down very well too - so, watch this space. We're also looking at some very cool stuff to integrate UKLUG with Facebook, and of course Lotusphere itself isn't too far away. I did speak to a certain vendor about sponsoring a European party there.... So, lots still to do.
Anyway, I have real work to catch up on, sleep to catch up on, and we have house guests arriving any time soon. So, I'll duck my head back down again - and promise to get back to blogging more regularly. Honest!
