MVMRUG April 28, 2006 Meeting

Our Spring meeting of 2006 was held in Columbus, Ohio, the home of the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Ohio state capitol.

Meeting Location: IBM (Innovation Room), Columbus, OH

The "Innovation Room" for IBM is located at 5475 Rings Road, Dublin, OH 43017 at the Atrium II Suite 300 location. The accommodations were quite nice and a very special "thank you" is extended to IBM for their hospitality.
