There's a lot planned for the Microsoft Management Summit next week in Vegas! I'll be there, as will several other content managers and writers from the System Center team. The following sessions are good places to meet the team and influence upcoming Operations Manager or System Center content:
Operations Manager Jam Site
Tuesday, April 29, 2:00 – 4:30 in Casanova 603

[Edit: We've had a few requests for the location of this site -- it's in the prototype stage now, but we will absolutely announce it here once it goes live.]
Are you interested in learning more about the new Operations Manager Jam site and providing your feedback? This is a community-oriented site to facilitate the sharing of management pack (MP) solutions and learning about other unique implementations. Site content includes customer-authored MP’s, managed code, command shell scripts, featured articles, forums, and a unified search across the best of Operations Manager content sources. In this focus group, you can:

Discuss the current and future direction of this and other sites
-
Provide additional requirements and scenarios
