![]() ![]() In Belgium, this is an annual VMUG event that was hosted in Mechelen. Officially launched in August of 2010, the VMware User Group (VMUG) is an independent, global, customer-led organization, created to maximize members’ use of VMware and partner solutions through knowledge sharing, training, collaboration, and events. By becoming a VMUG leader I can start working on that for myself while also building out the VMUG community, that’s a win win if you ask me! □ What is VMUG / vBeers? I’m usually one of those people in the back that just sit there quietly and I’ve been wanting to do something about that for a while. VMUG is the ideal platform for it.Īnother part of wanting to become a leader is that it gets me way out of my comfort zone. It was a great experience for a first time speaker and I want more people to take that first step into public speaking. ![]() I first started doing public speaking at the VMUGBE in 2016. Not only the veterans that have been coming to VMUG for 5, 10 15 years, also the people just starting out or coming to their first VMUG. VMUG is all about users and I want to bring it back to the users. There is an enormous potential for growth, there’s still a lot of people that are only now discovering the VMUG community. So coming back to the title of this paragraph, why do I want to become a VMUG leader? I want to help build the VMUG in Belgium into something greater than it is today. That’s also the year I did my first VMUG session. I’ve been doing this as a vExpert since 2016. Why I want to become a VMUG leaderĮver since I discovered the vExpert program and VMUG, I’ve wanted to be a part of those communities and help build them out into something more. And we also have Stijn Depril ( LinkedIn), Maarten Caus ( blog – twitter) and Harold Preyers ( blog – twitter) joining in a supporting role. I won’t be flying solo, my good friends Jens Herremans ( blog – twitter) and Kristof Asaert ( blog – twitter) will be joining me as VMUG leaders. I started talking to other folks in the community and quickly we had a bunch of enthusiastic people ready to step up and keep on building this community. ![]() ![]() When I saw the announcement, I immediately thought to myself that I don’t want to see this community disappear. As many of you already know, last year Erik Schils decided to step down as a VMUG leader after 15 years. ![]()
