A few weeks after the PASS conference finished up, Blythe Morrow (the community coordinator for PASS) contacted me and asked if I would like to help form a chapter special interest group (SIG). I didn’t even need to think about it for a minute, I immediately agreed and am itching to get started.
The focus of the chapter SIG is mainly going to be on building support systems for the chapters to use in addition to some administrative help. The administrative help will involve reviewing the chapter agreement, choosing a chapter of the month, getting mailings out, and general day to day tasks that help chapters run smoothly.
I’m not as certain what support systems we will be working on, but I could make a guess at it and say that we’ll be looking into knowledge sharing, putting together resource kits, helping chapter leaders start new chapters and revive chapters that are starting to slow down. But, then again I could be completely wrong about this.
What I do know is that I’m very excited to be working to support the growing SQL Server community, both locally and on a global level. We’ll be having a meeting coming up and I’ll post more after the meeting.
