Welcome to the IT Pro Forum!

The IT Pro Forum is a group based in Eugene, Oregon dedicated to helping people from all walks of the IT life to connect. We hope to bring people together with others in their local community to share successes, horror stories, vent, and hopefully learn something.

We have email lists you can join:

• announce -- Low volume moderated list for group announcements.
• discuss -- General discussion, Q&A, and technical support. Must be a member of the list to post.

Click either of the above links and put the word "subscribe" in the message body to subscribe. Or send email to majordomo@itproforum.org with "subscribe announce" and/or "subscribe discuss" on separate lines in the message body to subscribe to one or both lists.
