Trying to get an idea of who the other Austin/Central Texas Casper users are out there. Business/government/education/etc. I ran into a few people at the JNUC that said to be Austin-based but I didn't see you at our User Group meetup so I'm interested to start connecting people and hopefully getting a healthy group started up for meetings and tacos what whatnot.

Post here and introduce yourself!

I'm at Volusion up in north Austin and we're using Casper for our Mac fleet. It'd be nice to connect with more Central Texas folks!

You know me! I held the fort while Mike went to JNUC. I don't think he came across any other Central Texas folks.

I'd love to get together for a JAMF meet up. I'm the Mac Admin for Leander Independent School District and use the Casper Suite. I'm about 30 mins north of Austin. Let me know when there is a meet up.

Let's keep this thing alive. Now that the holidays are behind us, I'm able to devote a bit more time to meetups and other community-building activities.

Would love to get a meet-up going, maybe this month or next month? And maybe we can find a location that's a bit easier for folks to get to, something northish? Maybe something on Burnet?

Emily, would you mind coordinating this with Latora for this go-round? North Austin is totally fine by me. I'm pretty flexible on when it happens, as well.

Althea will not be able to join us for the next few months due to a schedule conflict, though.

I'll check with our facilities dept to see if it is possible to host it at our office. Building still under a lot of renovation, although most should be done with the next couple months. We're in Research Park complex, Oak Knoll & 183 if that would seem to be a feasible location.

Since our account is handled out of SF office, I still have yet to meet or speak to Latora in any fashion though.

Oh snap! Latora is da bomb. That sounds like a good location I think! I'll reach out to her and see what her thoughts are!

Ping @latora.dixon!

I'm so happy to see all the excitement. The Austin Nation is growing. Please let me know how I can help!

I know there are more Casper folks out there in Austin, maybe they're just not on the forums yet. How do we spread the word?

Also interested in a meetup. I'm a System Admin for HomeAway, which has offices all over Austin. My team is based at the Domain, so meeting northish is no problem.

@jlong Hi! I know a few people that work at HomeAway! Cool to know that they're using Casper.

So what gives? Is someone organizing a second meet up for the Austin area?

I talked to @latora.dixon about it a few months ago but haven't heard anything since.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hey Guys,

Emily and I discussed a meet and greet to get the community introduced. I recently checked out Punch Bowl Social, any thoughts?

I'm late on this, but wanted to thank Latora and Emily for making the meet-up happen at Punch Bowl. Great meeting everybody there, got a lot of helpful information, and it was refreshingly sales-pitch free. Thanks again.

Turns out Punch Bowl Social is a pretty cool venue! MUCH bigger on the inside than I imagined…

We're hoping for another user group meet-up in August. I'm also working on setting up some other social media engagement for Austin-area folks, like @austinappleadmn on Twitter. Hoping we can get a nice network together to schedule meet-ups, informal socializing events, stuff like that.
