The official announcement was posted yesterday that Jeremiah Peschka and Brian Moran have decided to resign from the Board and upon having two vacancies, the Board voted to appoint Geoff Hiten and Mark Ginnebaugh. Geoff and Mark were both candidates for the Board during the 2010 election. As I understand the process the Board is […]
Read more "Changes to the PASS Board"The schedule is posted for SQLSaturday #62 coming to Tampa on January 15, 2011. I don’t have a presentation on the schedule this year but I’ll still be attending and hope to see you on Saturday. They also have two $99 seminars running on Friday, one by Denny Cherry titled Storage and Virtualization for the […]
Read more "Schedule Posted for SQLSaturday #62 in Tampa"We’ve updated the original flyer to the new and improved model that has the prices. The image below is a screen capture, download the real flyer to get the best resolution. We’re in the process of ordering print copies now and will be working to distribute them beginning in January, focusing on chapters/groups in the […]
Read more "Updated SQLRally Flyer"Our December meeting was a time for a lot of changes: New location, the Hampton Inn in Lake Mary. It’s further north in a good tech area, great access, decent parking, decent room. New leaders. Well, sort of. Jack Corbett had been co-President for a year, but now he’s the sole big dog, and has […]
Read more "Notes from the December 2010 OPASS Meeting"I received the email this week that I won’t be getting a place on the schedule for SQLSaturday #62 in Tampa on January 15, 2011, nor will the other chapter leaders from Florida. The event team received a lot of abstracts and even with limiting each speaker to one, there still wasn’t enough room for […]

This seems like a good time to update you on ongoing projects and to think about where I’ll be headed next year. As I look back at 2010 it’s a […]
Read more "PASS Update #48"As always, this represents my own views, I’m speaking only for me and not the entire PASS Board. Early last week Joe Webb announced on this blog that he will be the chair of the PASS Election Review Committee (ERC). Read his post for some his thoughts, and then I want to share here some […]
Read more "PASS Update #47–Election Review Committee"Thursday ended with a ‘Meet the Board’ meeting where attendees could come ask the Board questions or present ideas. It went better than last year; smaller room, more attendees, less formal. Wayne Snyder did a nice job as the moderator. We’ll see about getting the full notes posted, but a brief recap of topics from […]
Read more "PASS Summit 2010-Wrap Up"I’ve been wanting to write this for a while, and I haven’t because I felt that I just didn’t quite have all the pieces. I still don’t, but I think I have enough to start, and from there maybe we’ll all figure out the stuff that is missing. I think for too long we’ve been […]
Read more "PASS Update #46 (What Should PASS Be?)"If you’re attending the 2010 Summit and are interested in helping improve SQLSaturday, I hope you’ll register and attend our RoundTable (pwd=Wyoming) on Monday morning. I’ve invited the past/current event leaders and it’s now open to anyone that is interested. What follows are some of the topics I hope to discuss during the two hour […]
