+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.
+6I haven't done any planning because I thought we were going to meet in Boston next. Please let me know if that's not the case so I can reserve a room in Natick.
+11Thanks for resurrecting this one @mm2270][/url][/url][/url][/url. Happy to host for this next one and like the idea of some of rotating regions to ensure folks from different locations can attend the JUGs closest to them and we get a better feel for how we all work.
Given past responses, suspect a Wednesday in February would work best, but I put together quick form to query interest.
Please take a minute for the quick survey on times and topics of interest below:

+24I submitted my choices. Thanks for helping organize once again @clifhirtle.
As I mentioned, I'm OK with a Boston location. If its not far from a T station that would be best so I can leave my car back near home and just ride in instead of dealing with traffic in the evening.
+11Alright, two options here for our next meeting, based on responses I've gotten:
Response-wise Wednesday (2/5) was preferred by most, but given < 1 week notice I want to keep option for the following week (2/12) as an alternative.
Any preference? Reply back here with thoughts by end of day Thursday 1/30 if possible.
Meeting Location: John Hancock Tower, 200 Clarendon St, Boston, MA (across from Copley Square)
+24Hi @clifhirtle. Unfortunately my schedule has changed a little and next Wednesday is not possible for me personally. I'll be out of town then.
If possible, the following Wednesday 2/12, would work for me. But I understand if the majority of the group wants to do this this coming Wednesday instead.
+27Unfortunately, the 5th is too short a notice for me. I might be able to make the 12th (Last day of my vacation... have to think on that). Otherwise, these would normally be great dates for me.
+11With two nea's on next week, we're likely looking at 2/12. I can push out further, but given training here week of 2/24, we're talking March timeframes, which are pretty far out.
Wed 2/12/14: any conflicts from others? @simbimbo @dgreening @Cataldo @bcunning @Eyoung @ctangora @sggr57a @allyn_martin
Speak now or... :)
+10Either date would work for me.
+11OK. February 12, 2014 is on. Just posted up off the user group section, though appears earliest I could set RSVP start date was tomorrow @ 9am. Look forward to meeting some new and existing faces!
+27Quick question Clif, what's the story on parking?
+24That'a a very good question.
I see the location is just a few blocks from Back Bay station. I might be parking elsewhere and taking a train in.
+11We are 1 block from back bay station or you can walk across the square from the Copley station on green line. Transit in might not be a bad option if you cannot get work to cover parking.
There's parking all over here but I'd recommend checking http://parkme.com (they have a mobile app too) for the best rates by time arriving and departing. Put in 200 Clarendon St Boston, MA as the location.
Just joined up and plan to attend. Looking forward to it. Times listed as CST on the invite. Is it actually 3-6 Eastern Standard Time?
+11Thanks for the heads-up @ThomasB. Time is definitely 3-6PM EST. User group creation workflow does not appear to allow me to update it now and when I try to make other changes I get an Internal Server Error.
+27Good call, see you all there!
+27Thats funny! Full circle eh?
+27Unfortunately I will not be seeing you all this afternoon. Fatherly responsibilities dictate. Sorry for the sudden drop out. I'm in for next time regardless. Could anyone forward me any interesting topics you mention?
+24Chris, sorry you won't be there. I'm sure at least one of us will be taking some notes to pass along.
+11No problem /url][/url">@Chris_Hafner][/url][/url. If you end up finishing up Mr Mom duties early (below), I'm throwing out a post-meeting bacon-guacamole offer for any interested parties at a nearby establishment (details on EB page: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/boston-area-jamf-user-meeting-spring-2014-tickets-10457840683).
+18Clif, thanks for hosting us (and thanks to JAMF for the burritos)! It is always great to sit down with like-minded folks and have an open forum to discuss our environments and challenges. I look forward to the next meet-up! It was great to meet you all!
-Dan
+27Really, I missed Burritos! Did anyone discuss the next meeting? The earlier it's planned the better. I like how these are starting to roll. How was meeting #3?
