Greetings, If you're on this e-mail list, you're probably at least vaguely aware of the existence of a nascent U2 users group. And if you're mildly curious, you may be asking yourself, and others, "whatever happened to that group".
Well there has been a lot going on behind the scenes. We have a founding board working to create an international organization with by-laws, elections and such. Here are some of the things the board has been doing so far, some visible, some not: 1. In May Clif Oliver handed over the management of this list to the U2UG. 2. There is a U2UG website: http://www.u2ug.org/ 3. The U2UG is organizing a general meeting to coincide with the IBM Data Management Conference in September (see the web site for details). 4. The board has been working on ways to share information about U2 beyond the lists and the web site. All of this with just 13 members of the founding board! And that's the reason for this message. We've reached the point where we need help. Your help. Here is a list of the volunteer opportunities available to you in helping to bring this valuable organization into a thriving existence. 1. Nominations committee - We need people to help run the nominating committee. They will help conduct an honest election. We need to begin this process by September 2004. 2. Web site help - help us manage the content on the web site. 3. We also need everyone to consider contributing content. We need your success stories, funny stories about the SORT verb, articles about multivalue database theory, whatever you have. 4. Newsletter - we need department editors and contributors. 5. U2 Promotion - We need people who are willing to put a U2UG member sticker and link on their home pages (personal and corporate) and otherwise promote these powerful products. Looking forward to your support, Dana Baron System Manager Smugglers' Notch Resort (and U2 Founding Board Member) P.S. - If you received two copies of this message its probably because you are a member of both the U2-community and U2-users lists. ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
