It's been awefully quiet around here....

So huge apologies from both Arthur and myself for the lack of activity. Apart from learning lots about OCS which at the time we couldn't reveal, work has taken over and I think the whole community hit a pause between LCS being sable and deployed and waiting for OCS, well the public beta at least, to ship.

My main blog is over at http://russkirk.typepad.com/greyconvergence/ so feel free to subscribe to that feed. In the meantime I'm arranging a new series of events to coincide with the OCS luanch including a device showcase ofthe new telphony handsets and the RoundTable conferencing unit.

We're also thinking about rebuilding the site using the SharePoint Community Kit so anyone with thoughts about what you would like from the site feel free to leave a comment.
