The TSPUG Mission (Note: meeting Wednesday evening)
Despite my objections to mission statements (which all inevitably reduce to "all babies must eat"), I've written one for the Toronto SharePoint User Group to eliminate confusion and placed it on our website. After some rumination I removed the opening line which read "TSPUG is a place where SharePoint geeks learn from each other," to leave what you find below (mainly because I couldn't distill "learn together" to "all babies must eat," but also because a group of geeks is correctly a "gaggle" and it's too late to change the logo). But if the members demand it, I'll put it right back in.
The Toronto SharePoint User Group Mission ~
Like SharePoint, our aim is to be both collaborative and informative while instilling a sense of community among members.
Participation at meetings does not require membership and thanks to the participation of sponsors and volunteers, meetings are free to attendees (please RSVP).
TSPUG is not exclusive, and welcomes all those with SharePoint expertise to present or otherwise contribute at TSPUG events.
Our next meeting is Wednesday night, the topic is SharePoint 2006. We're again close to the limit on registrations (the room holds 50) so please RSVP on the website asap if you'd like to come. Bring your questions, it should once again be a barrel of fun.
