About our Meetings

Are you a network administrator or engineer looking for hot tips or solutions to a sticky problem? Perhaps you'd just like to talk with other people who support and/or use Novell based products and networks. Come join us!
SVNUI meetings feature:
  • Technical Presentations (Don't just pitch us, educate us!).

  • Many of our monthly meetings involve network technology topics that our members tell us they can't pick up anywhere else.

  • "Only-at-SVNUI" exclusive technical presentations by Novell employees and local Silicon Valley companies.

  • Special announcements from Novell representatives.

  • It started as a joke, but now it's a much-anticipated part of our program: "Networking in Hell" real-life network case studies & horror stories.

  • "Round Table" discussions where you can present technical problems and challenges for solution by the entire group.

  • Free dinner buffet.

  • Prize raffles for members.

Interested? Come visit us once or twice for free! Membership applications are available here and at every meeting. Current dues are $60/year. If you have been a member in the past, come back and see us again! As with our industry, SVNUI is constantly evolving and you never know what you might discover at our meetings...

Hey, Novell employees (including development groups)! You folks are welcome too! Our meetings are an excellent opportunity to receive customer feedback.
