A big thanks to everybody that attended the first user group meeting on Tuesday. We had a fantastic turnout and it was great to meet with fellow Media Center and Home Server enthusiasts. The presentations on addins, development, Home Server and Windows 7 went down very well as did the Pizza! Orionsys.co.uk brought a great selection of kit to show off with some very impressive Media Center systems. Unfortunately we ran out of time to do a round table so we will be saving that for the next event, I also think we could get more technical on future events so if you have any suggestions or feedback let me know

I really want to keep conversation going so head over the user group section of the site where there are forums, blogs and a wiki

All the slides are available in the new downloads section of the site:

• Main Slide Deck
• Andrew Edney’s Windows Home Server Presentation
• Garry Whittaker and Ian Dixon’s Windows 7 Presentation
• Andrew Cherry’s Windows Media Center Developer Presentation

All the sessions where video recorded (in HD) , checkout the pictures taken by Paul Foster

I want to thank Paul Foster from Microsoft, Simon Many, Garry Whittaker, Andrew Cherry, Andrew Edney and Rakesh from Orionsys.co.uk
