<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://nypug.groups.live.com' target='_blank'>http://nypug.groups.live.com</a><br /><br /></div><p><em>Windows Phone 7 is one of the hottest topics floating around the net right now, and what better time to learn more about it than November 15 at the New York Windows Phone User Group (NYPUG) Meeting! This new group, which will be meeting regularly, is holding it's first meeting on the evening of November 15 (Monday) in Midtown Manhattan and you're invited! We've got a few short presentations, lots of time for Q&amp;A, and more planned (Even a few giveaways), so be sure to register today at <a href="http://bit.ly/nypug1" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/nypug1</a>. A great time is guaranteed for all!</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//wpt/auto/1289308299.usr7.png" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>I'm really psyched to announce the first meeting of the New York Windows Phone User Group (NYPUG), open to anyone within a reasonable distance of NYC who wants to meet up, talk about phones, and learn about Windows Phone 7. Why am I psyched? Because I'm the one leading the group, along with fellow MVPs <a href="http://www.mobilityminded.com/" target="_blank">Johan van Mierlo</a>, <a href="http://pocketnow.com/" target="_blank">Adam Z. Lein</a>, and <a href="http://twitter.com/erichicks" target="_blank">Eric Hicks</a>. Our First Meeting will be on Monday, November 15, starting around 6:30 with presentations starting around 7:30. We've scored some space&nbsp;courtesy&nbsp;of the local Microsoft office in New York, right in midtown Manhattan in the AXA Building (6th Ave, between 51st and 52nd). Space isn't limited, but registration is required, so if you're looking for a good time, perhaps some food (if we can arrange it) and a place to talk Windows Phone, head on over <a href="http://bit.ly/nypug1" target="_blank">here</a>&nbsp;to register and/or join our <a href="http://nypug.groups.live.com" target="_blank">Live Group here</a>.</p>

Totaly off-topic: I read that as New York Palm User Group. :D

If New York wasn't so far away from me, I'd drop in and say hello. :D Have fun everyone!

Well, this one in Toronto is a bit closer for you....

You do know I live in Calgary, right? Toronto is quite a long distance from me...

[Paragon]

That's why I said a bit closer. ;) Not to mention the fact it seemed like an easy way to get a plug in for the guys in Toronto. :)

I really missed the Windows Mobile users groups here in Colorado. I was involved quite a bit and there were lots of very "energized" people who contributed to the platform & groups greatly (there were several different Windows Mobile groups that met weekly/monthly). It seems that people just lost the energy/enthusiam with the platform around 2007/2008 and all of the groups closed shortly after each other. I hope WP7 sparks this again with its improved developer support. Hopefully we'll see some mountain region groups back in 2011 :)
