Matt Lambert is a new friend and colleague I've been following for a while now. His Conversationware is always a great read. I remembered one of the earlier pieces of his I read. or maybe in his about page, that he markets a solution called Rightfax among the many things he does.

Fax technology as a piece of unified communications is one of those overlooked nuances that doesn't get much press. Yet it remains critical. Even this past week as my partner and I were exploring a real estate transaction, we found once again that fax will serve as a legal substitue for a "wet signatiure" on paper where there are still no viable electronic signatures yet in that industry.

Today I learned that the non-profit RightFax Users Group spread the word about the formation of this new group, and their inaugural meeting coming up on February 22nd. I thought I'd share this in case any of our readers are around Minneapolis and interested in participating.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 21, 2008—The first-ever RightFax® Users Group (RFUG) meeting is set for Feb. 22 in Minneapolis, Minn., at the Embassy Suites Hotel, Bloomington, 8a.m. - 5 p.m. Steve Bouma, GMAC Res Cap senior systems engineer, a veteran RightFax user who is attending the one day event, said, “It’s important to build a RightFax community, so we can share our experiences in solving business issues with fax automation. As the group grows, our hope is to build a library of fax automation best practices something that all members can benefit from tremendously.”
