Technical events are at best "meet the expert" sessions at CPX, and even there, have you ever seen anything that was not related to the new product promotion?<br /><br />The greatest added value of CPUG and CPUGcon was that CP did not control agenda. Sharing CP expertise does not mean sharing just the strong points but also sharing flaws and gotchas. With all due respect to CP, they are never open minded enough to encourage such discussions, let alone support them. <br /><br />That was the main reason CP support forum never took off. <br /><br />We do not want one more resource and/or conference to hear how great products are. We are convinced already. Now we need to share experiences, even the bad and painful ones.

I am really in a mixed feeling about this one. <br /><br />There's even another twist around this story I think. <br />I mean, SK is becoming really mature and the official forums from Check Point are also accessible for anyone who registers. Should we not post as close to the source as possible? <br /><br />From the other hand, I completely understand the part when it comes to the "Community feeling". But I wonder if the community still really exist. It doesn't mean I would like to see it differently though..... <br /><br />I know you're trying hard to get the CPUG cons back, but how does that work out until now? <br />Check Point also matured over the years and resellers developed lots of technical knowledge. Besides that, also Check Point organizes their local (knowledge)events. Maybe a CPUG is getting a bit overkill for a lot people. Times have changed I guess. <br /><br />I know it's a bit offtopic but still wanted to share you my thoughts. <br /><br />Petition signed!Martijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418188153644580645noreply@blogger.com
