Well, it looks like we experienced another mind-expanding R:BASE Developers Conference in Pennsylvania again this year!
As co-emcee with Bill Downall and Dawn Oakes (last year's Developer of the Year), I'd like to thank Razzak and RBTI for all the hard work they have put into the conference AND the exciting new products that are now available from R:BASE Technologies. The Dream Team is certainly deserving of that "Dream Team" title! We're all looking forward to getting our hands on the enhancements and new features in R:BASE 7.6, Client Server, and more. I'd like to extend a hearty congratulations to Emmitt Dove with Blue Ridge Paper Products on his achievement of the R:BASE Developer of the Year award - it was a well-deserved honor and I look forward to welcoming him as our co-emcee next year. If you were not at the conference and have not read the extensive list of presentations this year, log onto http://www.rbase.com/conference/schedule2006.pdf and see just what you missed! Thank you to all presenters for their time, their effort, and especially, their expertise in sharing their skills with the rest of us. As many of you know, the theme this year revolved around C H O C O L A T E ! ! ! We had chocolate to eat, drink, dip, bid on, and win. Our complexions and waistlines may have suffered a bit, but it was a fun way to help raise over $1,400 for Salvation Army's Project Bundle-Up. These funds will be matched by RBTI for a net donation of almost $3,000. Thank you to all who brought items for auction or who generously purchased items during the auction. AND if you were not at the conference but would like to make a donation, you may still do so by sending a check (made payable to "Salvation Army Project Bundle-Up") to the RBTI office. That way you will be sure that RBTI can include your donation in their matching funds. Thank you to Claudine Robbins and Adriana Montano for their expertise in making this fundraiser so successful. There are so many people who make these conferences run so smoothly - and I'd like to express our gratitude to: Ken Shapiro - photos Alex Gawaresky - caffeine at the midnight session Stuart Cohen - pizza at the midnight session Tom Eldred - ride matching Bob Thompson - guitar pickin' and auctioneering More than 25 Authorized Developers attended a highly productive planning session and received copies of the new R:BASE multi-color brochure which will be mailed to registered R:BASE users. If you were not able to attend the conference, you can still purchase the presenters' CD along with this year's R:BASE Memorabilia. Contact R:BASE Technologies directly at 724-733-0053 or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] for more information. See you all next year!
