VMware was kind enough to host the VMUG Leader Summit on campus again this year. The event was February 19th through the 21st. It was packed full of networking opportunities, presentations by some big names in the vCommunity, and even a charity activity where bikes were built for kids who lost everything in the recent Northern California Wildfires. Guests on this episode were plentiful. Check out the Tweet for this episode to find links to the profiles for all guests.
