PASS Update #33 (SQLSaturday Transfer)

I’ve just finished handing over the source code for all the SQLSaturday related items after finishing up a couple minor bugs in the admin tools. Along with the just completed transfer of the domain, that finishes up all the tasks we had identified to get the hand off done. The next task is to get […]

Preparing for SQLSaturday #49

We’re still in the early stages so the pace is comfortably slow. We’ve got about 30 sessions in already (plenty of room for more), a few people interested in submitting an abstract for our $99 pre-con, and Jack Corbett toiling away on sponsors and marketing. That gives me time to focus on logistics more. I’m […]

SQLSaturday Summit at the PASS Summit

Now that we’ve moved SQLSaturday to PASS and we’re seeing some really nice growth in the number of events, I think it makes sense to gather all the thinkers, doers, and dreamers that got us this far and figure out where to go next. With that in mind, I’ve asked for space to seat 100 […]

Notes on SQLSaturday #38

Started Friday by picking up the shirts for the event in Orlando, then heading to Jacksonville with the family, getting there in time for my almost annual tradition of a bison burger and iced tea for a long lunch. From there checked in at Hotel Indigo, interesting, a bit different than the usual chain, but […]

Reminder – SQLSaturday #38 in Jacksonville Tomorrow

It’s the third time for Jacksonville, hosting SQLSaturday #38 tomorrow at the University of North Florida. It’s about an hour and a half drive for me, just far enough to merit staying over when combined with the chance to do some networking Friday and Saturday evening. I’m doing one presentation, will try to do some […]

PASS Update #29

By the time you read this we’ll have completed the transfer of the SQLSaturday web sites and data to PASS HQ, leaving only the clean up tasks of transferring the domain and the email aliases for active events, something we plan to do by the second week of May. It definitely took longer than I […]

Social Networking and SQLSaturday

I think we do a pretty good job of delivering technical content, but not such a great job at getting the attendees talking to each other. The speaker side of things has definitely turned into a social event, how do we do that for attendees? I don’t have the answer yet, but we’ve made a […]

SQLSaturday #49 Call for Speakers is Open & Call for Our PreCon Seminar

SQLSaturday #49 will be held in Orlando on October 16th, 2010, and our call for speakers is now open. We’re looking for diversity of topics and speakers; don’t be afraid to submit a niche topic! This year we’re trying two new things: We’re going to do have one set of ‘super sessions’ from 1-3 pm […]

SQLSaturday Sites Will be Offline For Part of April 27, 2010

We’re scheduled to begin moving web sites and data to PASS servers at 12:00 pm Eastern on April 27, 2010. We’ll put up a ‘down for maintenance’ page, but wanted to let everyone know in advance. With luck (and some planning) we’ll get it done in a couple hours and get back to business.

SQLSaturday #49 in Orlando!

We just put the site up, starting a little earlier than last year, and over the course of this week we’ll be finalizing the sponsor plan and the call for speakers. It will be Oct 16, 2010, here in Orlando (Lake Mary – north side of Orlando), and we’re going to try for a solid […]
