IT Communities and the way they are changing the world

This blog

Ok, now what is this blog about? Well it’s about the “exploding” IT communities across the world. If the 90’s were the growth years of the Internet, the 80’s about networking and the 70’s about the personal computer. The 20-20 is certainly about the explosion of IT user groups across the world, the computer has grown up to be a baby and now people as people usually do are using it to connect, ya ok, the 20-20 is also about the Internet exploding the known universe(a.k.a. Earth beings) ability to do more etc. well, but, ahem, I think what it’s really enabling is people. We earthlings love to enable the aspect of being in touch and making simple more and more the activities we do. So in this blog I’ll be talking about anything related to IT Communities, whether it is a post about a user group in Australia or Thailand or Dubai doing a cool event, or it’s a new/old tool available for communities to interact further, a.k.a. Sharepoint is the best thing to build your community site on, or whether it is just me Twittering about or discussing about Facebook, and the way it just adds further dynamism to communities interacting with each other. So essentially anything about IT Groups, whether they are developer or IT Pro or any other earthling IT Community realted thing.

About Me

I’ve been working with the IT communities/user groups for more than a decade now, no I’m not old!!! stop thinking that way. I’m as young as IT Communities themselves, atleast that’s what I think and that’s what matters isn’t it. I’m also part of two extremely exciting organizations, though the views contained withing this blog are solely mine!!! I ME MYSELF Ok back to these path breaking organizations, Microsoft UGSS (I’m the Regional Lead for APAC & EMEA) and INETA(I’m the volunteer, President for APAC). The key goal of these organization is to enable and uplift the IT Community, INETA Focuses more on the Developer user group’s on the Microsoft.Net platform and is an independent entity, where Microsoft UGSS is a Microsoft initiative. I’m also part of the Microsoft Regional Director Program which also incidentally I’m part of for more than a decade now. It’s an exiting bunch of people who are guides for a large number of Large corporations globally, these guys are not Microsoft employees but have the honorary title of Microsoft Regional Director. hmm… oh yeah and I also run an independent Software consultancy business focussing on the Mobile space… ok that’s about me……… any questions? leave a comment!
