Actually it's Sunrise Beach and you're right, I think we are closer to DFW
than El Paso is. I used to be part of the Dallas Branch back when I first
worked for Prime. I know the area well or at least I did. When they moved me
to Regional Tech Support I could have been anywhere in the South Central
Region but I based in Tulsa.

Jerry,
There used to be the St Louis user group, but I don't think it was
extant when I arrived there in '95.
We are calling this Texas Area MV User Group (TXAMUG, for now anyway) to
leave the door open for anyone in states nearby who want to join with
us.
You are right about Texas being a bit large (you can drive from Dallas
to Sioux Falls, SD faster than driving from El Paso to Texarkana).
However, most of the towns we think we will be drawing members from are
3 to 5 hours from DFW. If we move our meetings to something slightly S.
of Dallas/Fort Worth then the circle is even tighter. It may be a bit
of driving for some, but we find folks in Texas are used to some
driving.
I think the most important factor will be to offer something in our
meetings that makes the required effort a good bargain. One such
discussion is blending MV with newer technologies - if we pick topics
and spawn discussions along this line we are offering an intimate
experience/personal development/business development that touches our
daily tasks, and affects our future mutual survival. FWIW.
BTW - Sunset Beach, Mo is not too far from DFW, given today's speed
limit thru Oklahoma. 8-)

I wonder if we have anything like this in the Missouri or the central
states area. With a state the size of Texas you will probably have one
heck of a job with people making a commitment having people from Houston
to Amarillo, Texarkana to El Paso. A meeting would probably mean a plane
ride and an overnight stay. How you going to do it.

At the recent International Spectrum MV conference in Long Beach a new
Texas Area Multi-value User Group was launched. If you are located in
or around Texas we invite you to join by going to the yahoo group:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/texas_mug/
If you want to email me off-list I will send you a pre-approved
invitation link.
This is a private group, only members can post to it, view archives,
etc. I would ask, therefore, that you give a few sentences or
syllables
about yourself [your involvement in U2 or MV] so we can validate all
our
members. This is for the security of our membership.
Our first TXAMUG meeting is scheduled for June 28th, which will
commence
quarterly meetings thereafter.
Our aims for TXAMUG:
--> Get face time with others who are using the MV database model to
share knowledge and experiences.
--> Provide a technical and advisory resource to 'mutually aid' one
another in our respective daily tasks.
--> Develop regional venues to disseminate knowledge and products for
the MV database.
--> Personally advance in our MV expertise through educational
presentations by TXAMUG Group members and other training providers.
--> Spread the news that the MV database model is not just surviving
but
evolving into more interoperability and robustness, while retaining
it's
'business-intuitive' structure.
Just for clarification, TXAMUG is intended to complement the role of
the
U2 and CDP groups in the MV community, by providing periodic physical
meetings with some of the same friends you interact with on these
worthy
technical forums.
Cordial Welcome,
-Baker Hughes,
