Next Wednesday (November 19) the Auckland SQL Server User group kicks off again. It had a false start last year due to some extenuating circumstances, but now it is back in action.
Dave and Amanda (this Amanda) are working together to build out the SQL Server community in Auckland.
So, be at the SQL Server User group meeting in Auckland next week - 6pm at Microsoft (22 Viaduct Harbour).
You should also consider signing up to the mailing list for the user group. To do this, just send an email to announce@aucklandsql.com to be signed up.
