Yesterday was the first LiveMeeting hosted by the Performance Virtual Chapter in 2012 and it went very well, in spite of a few glitches! I am so proud of our team; it was a solid team effort. Carlos ( b | t ) had asked Jason Strate ( b | t ) to be our speaker in January, and sorted out everything in good time to hand it over to Wil ( b | t ), Ryan ( b | t ), Phil ( t ), Paul ( t ) and Yulia ( t ).
Wil worked out the details with Jason and made sure he was ready to run the LiveMeeting. Ryan put together emails, a blog post and other notifications promoting the presentation, and Paul and Yulia updated the site and made some other tweaks along the way.
There are definitely things we can improve – we had an issue with the LiveMeeting link and I have no idea why, so I’m not sure how that affected our attendance. But overall, I’m very happy with our first event and I am already looking forward to February when Jes Borland will present on Filegroups. I had some questions from a customer recently about files and filegroups, so I can’t wait to see what I learn from Jes.
Jason’s presentation, slide deck and scripts will be up on the Archives page soon, as will the information for Jes’ presentation (feel free to add it to your calendars now: Thursday, February 23rd at 2 PM EST/11 AM PST). The winner of this month’s $50 Amazon gift card sponsored by the wonderful Confio should get notified tomorrow or Monday so check your email if you attended! And if you want to see who won, come back to the main page next week to find out, and get signed up for next month’s LiveMeeting. See you there!
