April Meetup - Recap

What a productive meeting! It was great to see everyone and share all the different ways local organizations are using the Force.com Platform. Thanks again to AssureSign for providing the meeting space and lunch.

During the meeting we discussed the power of Twitter and how Saleforce.com manages customer requests for enhancements via  IdeaExchange we looked at the exciting ideas that are coming in Summer '09 and the Ideas Under Consideration for Summer '09. We also discussed the value of the Force.com Discussion Board and how it can be used to assist you when trouble shooting a problem.

March Meeting Cancelled :-(

Dear Group Members,

Tina & I have decided to cancel the meeting for March. Our assumption is due to economic times most are unable to make the meetings. Last month we had a great agenda lined up and fewer people showed than people that actually RSVP'd. I'm going to make an extra effort to increase attendance for April's meeting so you won't want to miss it.

I will post the date and venue for April's meeting as soon as it is confirmed to give everyone plenty of time to plan.

We apologize for any inconvenience,
Tina & Joshua

Relive Dreamforce 08 in the Comfort of Your Home or Office

Salesforce has provided the Dreamforce 08 breakout sessions in record time this year.  Kudos to Erica Kuhl and her web services team at Salesforce tor getting them up so quickly.

Head on over to the Salesforce.com Community site and check out all the sessions you wanted to attend but couldn’t get to.  This year they have much better packaging of the content as the audio is synced to all the slides shown in the session.  Now you’ll see everything you would have gotten in the breakout (except for the speaker).

Didn’t attend Dreamforce 08?  No problem.  You don’t even have to log in to watch any of these great sessions.  Pick out your favorites and watch or even just listen while you’re doing your other work.  It’s a great way to get inspired and get more from Salesforce.
