Do not adjust your set! You are in the right place!

That's right - if you were trying to get to the Mobile Computing SIG of Northern California, you are definitely in the right place!

For those of you visiting for the first time let me introduce myself:

Rey Flores, Microsoft MVP (Windows – Mobile Devices): http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/

Chair: www.mobilecomputingsig.com
Co-Host, The Mobile Community Series: http://www.computeroutlookrts.com/
Board of Experts: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/awards/board_of_experts_2005.asp
Contributing Editor: www.mobilegadgetnews.com

- I've been Co-Chair of our group since March 2003 and MS-MVP since April 2004.

So, if you didn't already know, the reason for our new site is that our original site was hacked twice in the last 30 days so we can only speculate that the forums were inherently unsecure, so now we have a new approach, just in time for Spring!

Anyway, this will serve as our new homepage so that we can alleviate the hosting costs Charles had been putting up for us all this time. I have also joined forces with ModernNomads.info headed up by fellow MS-MVPs Jaap van Ekris and Bart Martens where we can post helpful articles and tutorials for continued reference - please visit and register on their site too!

Fellow MS-MVP, Chris De Herrera, has graciously offered space on his personal server to host our NEW News and Discussion forum link on the right-hand side.

Our meetings will be posted here and in our forums, provided I have sent out an Evite - no Evite, no meeting so that as not to create any confusion.

There will definitely be a meeting next month, Thursday May 18th @ 6pm and it will focus on the implementation of an Exchange Server and what Windows Mobile devices can be used with it conducted by a fellow MVP and community member Steven Lai.

For your reference, here are the future meeting dates for the year:

Thursday, May 18th 6pm-9pm
Wednesday, June 21st 6pm-9pm
Thursday, July 20th 6pm-9pm
Wednesday, August 16th 6pm-9pm
Thursday, September 21st 6pm-9pm
Wednesday, October 18th 6pm-9pm
Thursday November 16th 6pm-9pm

These dates are reserved for us at the Microsoft offices in downtown SF but the meetings are tentative and subject to change - remember: no Evite, no meeting.
