Please note that the meeting is TONIGHT at the Toronto Convention Centre downtown, across from the CBC buildling, and we will be starting a bit earlier at 6:00 PM.
As I mentioend earlier, the conference organizers informed me that we'd stepped outside the bounds of what a user group was permitted to do at meetings by offering giveaways from outside parties. IT360 has however been very polite about it, and donated 5 full-access passes for the final day of the conference (Wednesday; http://www.it360.ca/conf_glance_day.cfm), which we will be giving away at the meeting on Tuesday evening. The donated equipment from Sangoma and Aastra will be given away in draws at future TAUG meetings. Cheers, spd ---- Meeting Synopsis: "On this special event, Matt Florrell and Reza Mosaddeque Reza have teamed up to provide a unique presentation.
