Riverbed’s Irene Yam came up with one of the best ideas at the 2010 Forum. Forming a community of solo reference managers: the #1 Club (aka “The Lonely Hearts Club”:)  Running a customer reference program is sometimes a lonely occupation–particularly when you’re a team of 1. Well, now there’s no need to feel like you’re alone. Their first meeting is tomorrow on April 13 at 2pm PST/ 4PM CST/ 5pm EST. Here’s some more information.

Meeting Format
Length of call will be an hour. A conference bridge will be provided. If we need to share a presentation or document, it will be emailed to the group before the call. By having a teleconference, this will ensure we start on time. Alternatively, we can set up a web conferencing session.

Agenda in Central Standard Time
4:00 to 4:05 Welcome
4:05 – 4:25 (Topic #1) What metrics really are important to me?
4:25 – 4:30 (Topic #1 Summary) *Optional – Would anyone want to volunteer to circle back to with the group with any future findings?

4:50 – 4:55 (Topic #2 Summary) *Optional – Would anyone want to volunteer to circle back to with the group with any future findings?
