Upcoming UG Meetings of interest - Ottawa Area

My buddy Garth asked me to post this up on the Blog to see if we can drive some registration and interest on an upcoming UserGroup meeting here in Ottawa. I've been working with Garth for almost 3 years as he runs the Infrastructure focused OWSUG group. I encourage you to check it out. I also have been working with Todd Lamothe - an avid IT Pro who put our FREE steady state solution to work on his XP workstations at the public library in the county of Lennox & Addington. If you haven't heard of Steady State - it's a cool solution that returns a machine back to it's "frozen" state that it returns to once a user logs off. I chose the word "frozen" for two reasons - it's DARN cold here in Central Canada these days and also because the product is similar in nature to DeepFreeze. Todd has also been playing with the V2 of the solution which works with Vista machines.

Check it out!
