CbusPASS

I attended the first meeting of the new Columbus PASS chapter last night.  Seems like a good group of people so far.  There were a few there I recognized, and a couple of people who's employers I recognized, as well.  It was a good primer into what the PASS community is up to and what to expect.  I have a few new weblinks to add to my regular checklist and RSS feeds.  Most notably the main PASS site: http://www.sqlpass.org, and the local chapter, http://columbus.sqlpass.org.  You can even get paid for user submitted content, so I think I might have to work up an article or two.  Maybe write some fun scripts.

The big yearly PASS Summit meeting is in Seattle WA this year, and early registration is anywhere from $1500 to $2500.  Don't think I'll be attending, but I will keep my eye open for the content to come out of it.  Sounds like it's a pretty in-depth event.  Last night's meeting didn't have much technical content.  The group meets monthly, and each meeting has a specific technical topic. I'll be interested to see what the next one is.
