Metro Accelerator Labs!
Do you have a Windows 8 or Windows Phone app idea? Maybe you’re already working on an app and would like some guidance for getting it across the finish line? Then come to one of the upcoming Metro Accelerator Labs!
These are three-day opportunities to develop your app with experts on hand to help you with any questions:
Please join us for a special event that you simply don't want to miss – the Metro Accelerator Lab. This is your chance to dig deeper into Windows 8 and Windows Phone and gain all the knowledge you need to immediately start (or finish) building beautiful, fluid and immersive Metro style Windows and Windows Phone applications.
In this FREE, three-day developer event, you’ll get expert help building, testing and deploying your Metro style apps. Experience step-by-step advice from Microsoft and community experts and one-on-one technical assistance. Come for an hour, or all three days. Bring that app you've been tinkering with, or a new idea that you're eager to build and we’ll help you get well on your way to releasing that killer app to the world.
We'll also help you understand the steps needed to get your Windows 8 Metro style app into the Windows Store.
We’ll have Windows Slate and Windows Phone devices available on site so you can see exactly how your app will run. And of course, there’s always a chance we’ll have a few to give away during the course of the event.

The focus is on your app, and while this isn’t a day of training (like our Windows Developer Camps), we will have a brief session every morning to give you ideas that you can turn into reality as you code.

About Virtualization Group – Boston 
http://www.virtg.com
LinkedIn : http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2177137
Email list: http//lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/virtg-members
Mission Statement
The Virtualization Group–Boston exists in order to encourage an exchange of knowledge about all aspects of virtualization, green technology and cloud computing between IT Professionals.
Furthermore, we will foster affiliation with similar virtualization groups located elsewhere to expand the reach of knowledge and training resources.
What We Do
As a local user group, we meet monthly. The 2-3 hour meeting provides an opportunity for education, knowledge transfer, and training through formal presentations, demonstrations, and discussions. As a local user group, of course networking is an important element and typically we provide pizza, beverages and door prizes.
Presentations are usually recorded, with permission, and posted on our website.
From time-to-time we also host special events, like our annual "Virtualization Deep Dive Day".
Areas of Interest
• Server Virtualization
• Desktop Virtualization (Hosted and Local)
• Presentation Virtualization
• Application Virtualization
• Storage Virtualization
• Cloud Computing
• Going Green
Content Level
We seek to advance the technical knowledge of our members, who are generally active IT professionals, contractors, consultants, and vendors. While presentations may sometimes focus on a particular vendor solution which requires an understanding of "why", presentations generally focus on the "how". We center our focus on the needs of mid-size organizations. At the same time we understand that the needs or larger organizations are more complex and that we can all still learn much from practices and products suited to their needs.
Affiliations
Virtualization Boston desires to affiliate with other local User Groups around the world that focus on the Virtualization space. We are presently an active member of the Boston User Groups and have contact with many of the user groups in this area. Please contact us if you'd like more information.
