Thanks Joe - I guess I *could* have found that out by looking myself Understand its not official and I know linkedin isn't great but its comes back as 2nd or 3rd if I google "cloudstack users group" . Its creates a poor impression
IMO, it needs to be moderated or removed. I'd happily donate some effort to this (I already do the European one, takes a few minutes a week to keep on top of the recruiters) but also happy if *anybody* else wants to step in (or the original guys want to get back involved) Anybody on this list who could help - please shout. Anybody object if I ping Shannon, Karen, Mark et al and ask them to help here by making some others the organisers ?

(no comments > please about me answering either of those) Argh, spammers. It takes way too much time to manage these things effectively. Same with forums. Things like Twitter are great because you have less opportunity for spammers to try to use the platform. They can @reply you, but that's about all. > I know that no serious technical discussion happens in this group but > it is a shop window for ACS and we do see a few newbies coming in this > way IIRC we decided a while back that this group was not "official" and left it up to the folks who'd started it to keep it healthy. Maybe one of the managers could add you if you have some time to help weed out the spam?
