"Symantec kicks SVLUG out of venue" would be a more correct headline.
- LarryMade2 10y agoMore mundane than that "Symantec Kicks out all outside groups from their meeting facility" would be more like it.
- sounds 10y agoDo you know of any other group that meets at Symantec with as much of a high profile as SVLUG? They would have at least considered the effect on SVLUG before making the decision. That much is clear. Then it stands to reason that this is an action Symantec is taking at least willing to kick out SVLUG, if not explicitly or implicitly stating that as the primary reason.
- ojbyrne 10y agoNot as high profile, but my toastmasters group meets there, and there was mention that we have to move.

- godzillabrennus 10y agoMore like "Symantec signifies it's about to go bankrupt by isolating itself from the tech community"
- chris_wot 10y agoI dunno, it isolated itself from the tech community years ago by not being terribly effective at stopping viruses and malware, and it's still making a lot of money. News of their death is sadly very much premature.
- nikanj 10y agoRegulatory capture is a much better marketing strategy than appealing to the tech community. PCI/HIPAA/etc makes antivirus mandatory, so no need to convince users.
