Hi Rene,
Woundering if its worth joining VMUG KSA or UAE, I living in Bahrain and here there is nothing like a local community, matter of fact never saw IT Engineer really interested in talking vmware, I need to jump into some active community.
As KSA/UAE are the nearby place so I was thinking to join, but don’t know how much active it is. I saw the event calander and looks like end of the world! no upcoming events 😦
Please suggest.
Hello Vaseem, You should join VMUG, it is free, unfortunately the VMUGs for UAE and KSA are very irregular. You can create a VMUG Bahrain chapter to reach out to IT Professionals living in Bahrain and start a regular “vCoffee” schedule (simple, only need a few people to get started, no cost, no sponsors, everyone pays for their own coffee), then if it grows you can have formal sponsors. We can keep in touch and the next time I am in Bahrain we can meet and have a chat. Cheers, Rene.
Thanks Rene for the advice, Whenever you plan a visit do let me know in advance so that I can clear my schedule.
