Impact 2008 in Las Vegas was a great success
for the Global WebSphere Community. We
worked closely with IBM to offer a variety
of events for the Impact attendees and GWC
members, which are highlighted below.
GWC Pedestal in the Solutions Center
 Our pedestal in the Impact Solutions Center drew many visitors. We featured our collaborative video interviews from many of the WUG Leaders. Keep an eye out for the video on WS.org. We also distributed our popular
WebSpherian-branded pedometers; very useful
for people walking miles from their hotel
rooms to the conference!
WUG Leaders - we'd love for you to send us more videos! We look forward to creating a video library of interviews with you and your members from around the world. Contact Burke Lesher for more details if you are interested in contributing: burke.lesher@groupintelligence.com Meet the Experts Session

GWC User Group Leaders and Members
congregated Wednesday evening to discuss an
overview of the Community and its overall
direction. The presentation can be found
here if you wish to use
it during your own
User Group meetings.
We had some exciting raffles as well - the Madison WUG won the
raffle for Groups with 5
or more members in attendance. Their prize
was a Nintendo Wii gaming system which will
be available at an upcoming meeting.
GWC Member Magnus Pảlsson from Sweden
won the
raffle for GWC members in attendance at the
session itself. Congratulations Magnus!
