[gpfsug-discuss] Committee change

2018-06-08 Thread Secretary GPFS UG
 

Dear members,

We have a change to the committee that we'd like to share with you. 

After almost 8 years as Secretary of the group, I am leaving my 'day
job' at OCF to join a new company. With that, I am passing over the SSUG
secretary role to Sharee Pickles. Things will continue as usual with
Sharee picking up responsibility for communicating to the group about
meetings and helping to organise and run them alongside Simon the group
Chairperson. This will still be through the
secret...@spectrumscaleug.org email address. 

I'd like to thank you all for making my time working with the group so
enjoyable and I look forward to seeing more progress in the future. I'd
also like to thank the other committee members Simon, Bob and Kristy for
their continuing support of the group and I'm sure you will all welcome
Sharee into the role. 

Best wishes,

2016-03-14 Thread Secretary GPFS UG
 

Dear members, 

The registration for the UK Spring 2016 Spectrum Scale (GPFS) User Group
meeting is now open. We have a fantastic and full agenda of
presentations from users and subject experts. The two-day event is
taking place at the IBM Client Centre in London on 17th and 18th May.
For the current agenda, further details and to register your place,
please visit: 

http://www.eventbrite.com/e/spectrum-scale-gpfs-user-group-spring-2016-tickets-21724951916


Places at the event are limited so it is recommended that you register
early to avoid disappointment. Due to capacity restrictions, there is
currently a limit of three people per organisation; this will be relaxed
if places remain nearer the event date. 

We'd like to thank our sponsors of this year's User Group as without
their support the two-day event would not be possible. Thanks go to
Arcastream, DDN, IBM, Lenovo, Mellanox, NetApp, OCF and Seagate for
their support. 

We hope to see you at the May event! 

Best wishes,
