A Joint is: 1) a place where two things or parts are joined 2) a shabby or disreputable place of entertainment... Virtualization has never been this fun.
First off, why “Joint”? From Webster, a Joint is: 1) a place where two things or parts are joined 2) a shabby or disreputable place of entertainment. So no, it was not named for the slang term that you are thinking of :)
What VMJoint is really about:
• A place where the more formal world of IT, with its Q&A and tutorials, meets with an informal community that includes gossip, griping, career tal
k, humor and an empathetic audience.
• A chat room and forum, where visitors can depressurize, catch up on industry changes, discuss career moves, swap ideas, leave messages, enjoy inside jokes and even score some swag — all in a relaxed, friendly environment.
• Finally, VMJoint has the capacity to bring things together — people, concepts, work plans, problems, solutions—in a way that sometimes makes 1+1=3 or even 4. That’s what we’re about — but why not find out for yourself by clicking on any of the links at the top or the side of this page. Check out the Blog for the latest articles and tutorials. Take a peek at the Forum for vigorous discussions and interesting Q&A. Tune in to Tori Black, our virtualization spokesperson, for some short but informative videos. Or just drop by The Joint section of the Forum, our virtual “watering hole”, where you can talk about anything and everything. We hope you enjoy VMJoint. Let us know how we can keep making it better for you.
