PowerShell MVP Keith Hill, http://rkeithhill.wordpress.com/, will be giving a talk on effective PowerShell.  It's an excellent session for anyone but it should work really well for those just getting started with PowerShell.  Also a great talk for more intermediate and advanced users.

&lt;p&gt;In the second ever meeting of the Omaha PowerShell User Group we will have PowerShell MVP Bartek Bielawski talking about OMI: PowerShell Everywhere:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;CIM cmdlets and CDXML commands are advertised as technology that will enable PowerShell users to manage anything in datacenter. It wouldn’t be possible though without something that we can talk to on the remote end, and that’s were OMI kicks in. In this presentation I will show you how you can manage processes on Linux using OMI and CIM, and how easy it is to create CDXML based commands on top of it.&lt;/li&gt;
