Volunteers Needed

ISUG is currently setting up several virtual groups revolving around some key Sybase products — ASE, Sybase IQ, PowerBuilder and PowerDesigner, with more to follow.

If you have any interest in serving on a steering committee for one or more of these groups, please contact me, or post a comment here and we’ll be in touch.

Participation on a steering committee does not take a great deal of time — maybe 1-2 hours a month.  It’s a great way to give back to the community and build your reputation within it.  Please consider participating!

TechWave 2008 Concludes

Well I will admit that I had hoped to post a little bit during the week, but it wasn’t to be!  This is my first real opportunity of the week… and I am at the airport on the way out of Vegas!

This was the best TechWave in several years with a level of excitement and energy that is hard to do justice to.  The attendees were all a-buzz with the latest information from the sessions they attended; the exhibitors (including ISUG) were very busy during core hours; the Sybase folks were all walking around with big smiles on their faces.

And no wonder; what a GREAT set of product announcements to come out this week.  Now, we just have to wait to get our hands on the official releases!

And for those wondering about TechWave 2009?  We were reliably informed that next year would be “on the East Coast” … and I mean reliable. From John Chen no less!
