BASPUG Meeting Tonight (9 June) in Cambridge, MA, USA

If you’re in the Boston, MA, USA area tonight, come to the second meeting of the Boston Area SharePoint Users Group at the Microsoft New England Research & Development (NERD) Center, located in Cambridge.  The first meeting was a great gathering, with almost 100 attendees.  Even if the topic for each meeting isn’t of prime interest to you, it’s a great opportunity to meet others in the local SharePoint community.
