The initial question is: would you attend a weekly (or monthly) virtual brown-bag lunch if I put one together.

The idea is that we would start each session with a short collection of interesting links, tips and tricks, or connect issues, and then have a presentation or discussion or script club or open-mic session, depending on interest.

Basically, this is meant to flow, on a week-to-week basis, from script-club to formal user group presentations.

Some weeks we would have presenters from various local user groups share content they had prepared for their local groups. We would encourage you to take ownership of this time, request topics, and prepare presentations (no matter how short).

Some weeks we would have an open-format script club using our private pastebin, IRC channel, and LiveMeeting voice chat. This time could vary from real-world problem solving to scripting games and “project Euler”-style challenges.

Some weeks we would have open-mic time and solicit feedback for the PowerShell team from anyone who cared to give it. I would make an effort to make sure I wasn’t the only MVP there, so you could feel that even if there wasn’t a Microsoft employee present on a given day, your voice could be heard when you make suggestions or vent frustrations …

The point is: the format would vary a bit, and we would adjust it over time to fit whatever works the best within our virtual meeting and time constraints.

So, what do you think? Are you interested?
