Thanks Chris, I think. :-) That group doesn't seem to be active. If it is I 
haven't heard of any meeting announcements lately.

Of folks here who participate in local or regional Oracle User Group events:
-- How valuable do you find them to be versus Internet resources like Oracle-L 
or annual Oracle conferences?

-- How frequently does your group meet and is it as frequent as you like? 
What's optimal?

-- What formats do you find to be most effective / worthwhile? Straight up 
presentations? Roundtable discussions? Interactive workshops?

-- What type of content do you not see that you'd like to see at these types of 
events?
-- Given "Oracle" represents such a large universe of potential topics and 
content, is it better to have a user group that addresses broad or narrow 
interests?

-- Can anyone name a few local or regional Oracle User Groups that are Best of 
Breed? Would be interesting to see what these groups do and what makes them 
successful.
-- What makes Oracle User Groups succeed or fail generally besides the obvious? 
(general lack of interest or insufficient # of local Oracle practitioners). 
With the Research Triangle Park here in North Carolina I suspect there are 
enough practitioners to support an active and productive group.

And anything anyone else would like to add of course.

Is there an active Oracle user group in the Raleigh, NC area? Seems there used 
to be. Asked my local Oracle rep and he didn't know of one. Would rather join 
an existing group. But I'm potentially open to helping organize a new one (lots 
of work if done right).
Thanks.

Dana
