+24The Iowa group post got me thinking that having a Boston area group would be really great. Myself, I focus in high-security environments but I wouldn't want to limit to any particular user area. Depending on size, we can have sub-groups and areas of interest.
Being Fidelity, we have loads of meeting space and we've hosted things like this in the past (sometimes with the help of Apple) and I could likely kick off something pretty easily.
+24I'd be up for something like this now that I'm the Boston Metro area. Jared, the Fidelity office I know of is in R.I. Is that where you are or is there a location closer to Boston?
I'll send you an email shortly.
+14I'd definitely be interested, along with some of my team. I'll drop you my info.
+10very interested.
+27I'm sending my contact info now. I'm very interested. I'm out of Wolfeboro NH, but Boston's just down the street for us.
+24Okay, seems like there's a decent amount of interest in this getting stood up. What do people suggest as an online "meeting place" to communicate? A Google Group?
Thanks!
+24Keep the interest coming! If you haven't emailed me yet, do so so I've got your off-board contact info. Looks like we've got the beginnings of a group with varied industries represented.
Looks like a Google Group is out. I'll have more details on how we'll all get together, just don't know exactly when yet.
+11Count me in Jared. Working right down in the JHT 5 days/week. Emailing you now. RE: communication logistics, would a LinkedIn group (w/membership check) make sense, to ensure tie-in to folks' existing professional backgrounds?
+24If anyone's on the fence about going, I'd register now. JAMF is using their powers for good to spread the word quite shortly so it may start filling faster.
+24We're over half booked, folks! If you're coming or even if you aren't able to attend, a new Boston JAMF User Group has been minted over on LinkedIn.

+24I'm awfully sorry, but the event will need to be postponed. I've had some things come up with work that will require me to be out of the area and unable to host. If you've registered, you should get an email from me via Eventbrite. I will keep all of the registrations and re-schedule the event.
Sorry.
+24No worries Jared. Thanks for organizing this and keeping us posted. Let us know when you have a new date for the JUG in mind.
+10Is it really 'Sold Out' or does it just say that due to rescheduling? Didn't get the chance to sign up, but will when it re-opens.

+10I wanted to resurrect this topic for Boston area people. I'd be interested in getting together with fellow JAMF users, OS X IT nerds, and anyone in the metro Boston area who wanted to initially just get together and match faces to names and grab a few drinks somewhere in town. From there we can discuss the possibilities of having a regular space and time for networking, tech presentations, and other shenanigans.
Initial thoughts from the group?
+11Uncanny... was just discussing this with someone last night. Let's do it. I can volunteer to get us space. Meeting after 8/4 would be ideal, as I'm tied up training for PMC until then.
+27I'm all for it. I'm not in the immediate area (Wolfeboro, NH) yet I'm up for any type of JUG get together. Even if it's completely informal so long as I can plan on getting down there!
+24Well then, you guys are in luck. Steve Imbimbo (https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/viewProfile.html?userID=6326) from The Mathworks has volunteered to take up the reigns on this one and we've been in contact. I've provided him with the full list of those who registered for the event.
I really want to see this take off and I'd love to attend, but I don't know if I'll be able to (at least in an official fruit-company role) though if some of my clients are going, I'd likely be there.
