Pune User Group Meet - First Public Appearance

Saturday13th Dec 2008 was a superb day of my life,

I had taken my first session on Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 with one of my best collegue Akhilesh Nirapure (akhilesh.nirapure@gmail.com).

It was my first public appearance on the Sharepoint. Giving me motivation for futher session.

I see that WSS 3.0/MOSS 2007 is still a jargon for most ot the people. The crowd was a good mix of people, starting with young studends (member of microsoft student partner) till IT Head of the company who were the decision makers.

It was a wonderful experience, I hope that it is the same for the audience. Apparently i had gone for Pune User Group meet for the first time (that too as a speaker).
