VCP Brown Bag #5 – Open Topic Follow-up

We had an excellent turn out this time, and hope to see some more folk continue to join us. In addition to the illustrious Tom Howarth of PlanetVM.net, we also had Jason Boche of Boche.net, who has become a regular at these. A great thanks goes out to both of these folks, as well as everyone else who joined the call.
