I have been using BizTalk in SA for a number of years and thought I was alone .... I have however started noticing more and more BizTalk projects appearing on the ether ~ this must mean that there are other BizTalk developers out there, somewhere!
So how about we meet up and establish a BizTalk User Group in Jhb. If you, or anybody you know, uses BizTalk or has heard about it and wondering how it will change your life why not come join like minded people (we are a different breed afterall 
) and discuss, network and share ideas and thoughts on building world class integration and messaging solutions using BizTalk and associated technologies.
The intention at this stage is a "Chalk Talk" type session where the idea is sharing. I'll try organise a variety of interesting discussions / presentations etc.
If you're keen just respond here so I can gauge interest levels and start setting something up.
UPDATE:
The feedback thus far has been amazing; almost overwhelming. I met with Microsoft today who were thrilled and are offering the venue and refreshments, I have a potential sponsor who is prepared to get involved and offer give-aways etc. So far so good. Now we just need the users to come ... Build it and they shall come is the motto, so I'm building it and hoping they come! Else I am going to have more beer & pizza than I know what to do with 
The first meeting is currently planned for Dec 5... I'm trying to get a website up & running for the UG and as soon as I do will post the details there. In the mean time keep checking here, or here where the latest happenings will be posted.
Thanks to all those that have shown interest thus far...
I think this is going to be great!
