I will keep this post short and to the point, and will do my best to try not to sound too sycophantic!<\/p>\n

I just wanted to publicly thank Alaric Davies<\/a>, Jane Rimmer<\/a>, and Stu Thompson<\/a> for their years of hard work and service to the London and UK VMUGs and all of their members (and of course, not forgetting Simon Gallagher<\/a> who is staying on to steer the ship). Were it not for a chance meeting with Mr Davies at a tech event in Leeds some years ago, I personally would know a lot<\/em> less, have met far fewer awesome<\/em> people and be in a completely different place in my career right now.<\/p>\n

The London and UK VMUGs have had a real impact on the careers of many people I know over the past few years and I hope they continue to do so for years to come!<\/p>\n

So thank you very much all of you for your immense efforts and the hundreds of hours of your own time you have dedicated over the years…<\/p>\n

\"Team<\/p>\n

Lastly best of luck to the new VMUG leadership team members Linda<\/a>, Dave<\/a> and Chris<\/a>, who along with Simon<\/a> I have every confidence that the torch will be carried on without so much as a splutter!<\/p>\n

If you want to get involved in the VMUG community as an attendee (and perhaps one day as a speaker), I strongly recommend popping along to your nearest meeting. You will definitely come away with a lot more than just the instructions on how to upgrade vSphere from 5.1 to 6.0! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The next London VMUG<\/a> is on the 14th of April at Tech UK, 10 Saint Bride Street, EC4A. I look forward to meeting you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
