Peer to Peer VCDX Defense Workshop at UK VMUG

5 Comments Posted by on September 1, 2011

I have an idea for a side-workshop/session at the upcoming UK VMUG in November for people that are actively following the VCDX4/5 track thus I am polling for interest via this post…

The format would be that participants get a 15-20min slot to present their design defence to a “panel” comprising of other VMUG members. including some of whom have taken (and failed) the actual defense process with a view to providing feedback and some questioning.

We don’t have any VCDX secret-sauce to share or special VMware info that you can’t find on the web, but the goal is to allow you to dry-run your presentation in-front of a friendly audience of like-minded community members before you brave it for real.

You would need to commit to come prepared with a Powerpoint version of your defence presentation, the panel won’t have seen your full design documents, and won’t be reviewing them.

I have created a poll, so if you’re interesting in participating, and will be attending the UK VMUG in November (details here) then please let me know via the poll below so I can estimate interest and seek panel members from the community.

Because we will need to arrange logistics I would ask that you only express an interest if you are planning to attend the UK VMUG and will have something to present, a significant number of no-shows will make it difficult to justify putting this on.

Please vote below (Poll is open until the end of September)

VCDX, VMUG

    I’d love to take part in the review side – though I dont believe I will have anything to present.

    I think this is a great idea. I’m going to spend some time in the UK after Copenhagen, but sadly don’t think I can stretch it that far.

    I’m in the same position as Chris. Also might’ve cool to do some troubleshooting and design scenario bits? But that could be a session with group input like the VCDX defence prep session at VMworld.

    I wish we had something similar to that in US.
