Future Wichita SQL Server Users Group

11/02/2010 Update:

As promised, I’m keeping you all up to date on the progress for an official Wichita SQL Server Users Group. I have submitted application to PASS for a Wichita chapter and am currently working with a regional mentor to get things started off on the right foot. I have verbal comittment from a sponsor, access to a meeting location for as long as needed, and will be working on policies and documentation to become an official non-profit with working bylaws.

No official meeting dates yet as I have more groundwork to accomplish, but look for something no later than early first quarter 2011.

So again, if you’re interested in attending, get word out to your peers (DBAs, Accidental DBAs, Developers, and the like). After the first meeting or two under our belt, we’ll need to have members step up and fill board positions. Bylaws will dictate, but I imagine there will be two (2) alternating sets of (2)year term positions. This is something to consider if you want to become a contributing member of the SQL Server community (and won’t hurt listing on your resume either).

Anyway, this is exciting news! Please keep checking back for updates (even if it’s not for my regular posts 😉 )! If you have ideas or questions, don’t hesitate to contact me thru the contact page and introduce yourself.
