Hi Everyone,
At the end of last year, we talked about the merger of the individual state based MUGs into a single Australian MUG. That has now gone live. I'm happy to announce that we also have a full committee for the AMUG. I'd like to introduce them to you...
- Darren Hornidge - Coca-cola EuroPacific, VIC
- Deborah Price - Pacific National, QLD
- Stuart Eley - APA, SA
- Michael Cahir - Certus Solutions
- Craig Kokay - COSOL
- David Harrison - BPD Zenith
- Johannes Tjoa - IBM
- Paul Lee - IBM
Together we will be working on managing the MUG, brainstorming content ideas for upcoming MUGs.
We will also be trying out a new format for MUG meetings. For 1H, we've planned a meeting for the 16th of April 2024 & it will be hosted in 4 separate locations on the same day...
- Melbourne- Level 28, IBM Southgate. 60 City Rd, VIC (host - Johannes Tjoa)
- Brisbane - IBM Brisbane, QLD (host - Paul Lee)
- Perth - IBM Perth, WA (host - Christophe Lucas)
- South Australia - APA, SA (host - Stuart Eley)
The format will be a 4-way event with live streaming to all locations... I'll be setting up 4 separate events so that you can register to attend the venue of your choice. Please do not register for all events. This will allow us to plan for catering & logistics.
Our hope is that this will allow you to re-connect with people from within your own state but also have the opportunity to make new connections with the wider Australian Maximo community.
What you need to do:
- Volunteer to host the next AMUG in your state.
- For QLD, SA & WA, a meeting room that can fit 15-20 people would be ideal.
- For NSW, a meeting room that can fit 30-40 people would be ideal.
- For VIC, a meeting room that can fit 40-50 people would be ideal.
- Put your hand up to present at a future AMUG.
- Presentations do NOT just have to be of something smart, funky, or wow! It can be about everyday topics. ie. Challenges within the business & how you used Maximo to solve it. If you think you've got an idea or are willing to present but not sure on what, talk to us & we can help workshop some ideas.
- If you've done an integration with Maximo, we'd love to hear about it.
- Talk to us. Tell us what's on your mind.
- What topics would you like to see covered at a future MUG?
- What did you like about previous MUGs & what do you think we could do better?
- How can we help to get more participation from your organisation?
- Are the sessions too technical? Or not technical enough?
We look forward to meeting you at the next AMUG either in person or virtually.
