PLEASE READ THE WHOLE EMAIL!!! Hello All. I just wanted to extend an invitation to our next meeting. Please RSVP to rduclos@xxxxxxxxx if you plan on attending. If you or your company would like to sponsor an event please reply and let me know. Also the LANUG website is back up and running. LANUG Meeting – Tuesday, November 18, 2008 6:00 PM Speaker: Ryan Duclos Topic: Report Authoring with Reporting Services 2008 Location: MIT 651 Church St Mobile, AL 36602 Sponsor: TBD I know most of you have worked on some form of reporting in the past! Did you have issues? Were the reports more complicated then they needed to be? Do you despise having to write reports? Have you used Reporting Services for Reporting? The best part about Reporting Services is it free if you are already using a licensed copy of SQL Server. The questions and issues go on and on! Come to my presentation and you just might find a better application for designing, deploying, and implementing reports. This meeting is not yet sponsored! If you enjoy the free presentations and the opportunity to network and promote yourself, we need sponsors! Talk to your company about sponsoring these events.Sponsorship can be as little as providing some refreshments for the event (pizza, coke, chips, etc) or providing giveaways (books, software, hardware, t-shirts, anything nerds like!) But sponsorship is a two-way street. A short, five minute presentation is given at the start of each event to let attendees know about our sponsors (who they are, what they do, job opportunities, etc). This is an excellent opportunity to let active developers know that you've got a great company! This meeting we will be electing our LANUG board members for 2009!
