Tonight, during the AtlantaMDF planning session, I finally took the bait and committed to planning a SQL Saturday. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but was delaying until I got more information about the other user group experience in the region (Code Camp). I finally got word that they’ve picked a date (mid March), so we can begin moving forward with our plans.
I’m a big proponent of the code camp model, so I’m looking forward to helping set the wheels in motion; however, I’m a little worried that I’m in over my head. I’m probably going to be blogging about this a lot over the next few weeks (months), so be prepared. Here’s my short list of stuff to do:
- Contact Andy Warren to officially say we’re doing this.
- Report back with some tentative dates to the rest of the AtlantaMDF leadership team.
- Start identifying vendors, volunteers, and speakers.
Our local Microsoft rep has suggested that we could use the Microsoft office if we limited the number of attendees, which is reasonable. That’s a big chunk of time time that we can save. Looks like this is really happening; exciting times ahead.
