A Perforce German User Group has been setup - the intention is to provide a forum for Perforce related discussions most likely for German speaking clients but membership is open to anyone!
This looks to complements the worldwide Perforce-User mailing list which is both very active and helpful, and the Perforce User Conferences (to date these have all been in the USA).
The group is having an initial 1 day meeting:
| Date: | Friday 28th November, 2003 |
| Location: | TUI InfoTec GmbH & Co KG Karl-Wiechert-Allee 4 D 30625 Hannover Germany |
How to get to TUI: http://www.tui.com/en/konzern/dialogue_centre/signpost.html
The main focus of this event is for customers to meet and share information. Tony Smith from Perforce (head of the UK Support Team) will be there to provide some insights into Perforce plans, and also answer technical questions. Presentations will be in German and English.
