So long, #sqlpass; I hardly even knew you.
In 8 days I’ll be leaving the database world, but will still follow the PASS community through Twitter and RSS feeds. SQL PASS (Professional Association for SQL Server) is one of the most unique user group experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of participating in. Their focus is to connect Microsoft SQL Server professionals with each other locally, nationally and globally through Twitter, free monthly user group meetings, free all-day training events (SQL Saturdays) and annual summits.
As SQL Server has matured in the 2000’s to become a formidible contender in the database world, so this group of SQL Server nerds has become the #1 resource for anyone embarking on or already established in a database career. I met a ton of great people, like @jmarx, @mike_walsh, @SQLServerIO, @Tim_Mitchell (the list can go on) and I hope our paths will cross again someday. While my time with #sqlpass was brief, I wish all of you much success and continued community for the future.
