Hi all,

Just a reminder that we are meeting at Alfred tomorrow, 3pm!

Also, Stefan Romiti from Microsoft has taken over the role that Chris Vidotto 
used to do, and is keen to support the health BI community. He's sent out an 
invite to an event on Dec 4th that will cover some of the same ground as we 
covered with Nadav in June.

For future events, Stefan has suggested that he would prefer to work in with 
our existing meeting schedule given there is a fair amount of overlap in 
attendees. He has also offered support in terms of a venue & refreshments if 
desirable. I have pointed out to him that part of the idea is to keep this 
vendor neutral so we can talk about what's working well without needing to 
worry about who bought the biscuits, and he is about as understanding as you 
can hope for from a Microsoft sales guy.

From the times I have been to their events they have tended to focus on new 
products, so I have suggested to Stefan that there are probably not that many 
times a year they can talk about new stuff we can't afford :-) -- but it would 
be good to hear from them about stuff that we can do with what we have, because 
I think there is some potential in what hospitals have already licensed that is 
not necessarily being used. I'm thinking that it's easiest to keep up a 
dialogue and if they have events that are of broad interest, we can always 
consider offering one of our regular slots to them to host instead of trying to 
assemble everyone twice.

I'd be interested to discuss tomorrow, or on list, or in private, what people 
think of this -- e.g. what sort of involvement is appropriate, and how much 
distance you would like to keep from any one vendor.

Kind regards,

William Rose

Hi all,

I think I have moved out of the anger & blame phases after having to miss out 
on the session at the Austin last month.

My sources advise that Ray is real, and that he has invented a WIES estimator 
that could solve our coding workforce issues by rendering them irrelevant for 
funding. All told it was apparently lots of fun and I really missed out. But 
I'm not bitter anymore. No, really.

Back at the September demo, Chris Mac Manus kindly offered to host the November 
session at the Alfred, to show off the hard work they have been doing there. 
Although the third Friday this month is actually next Friday, I am moving 
house, and there's no way I'm going to miss two of these :-)

So please come along at 3pm on Friday 23rd of November to the Alfred!


Chris has supplied a map and the following instructions:

Location is:
    Alfred Hospital
    Meeting Room 1
    Ground Floor
    Old Baker Building
    Commercial Road, Prahran

(site map attached, Old Baker is at the top on the right)

Directions:
1.       Enter Old Baker Building main entrance (2 doors) (First Picture)
2.       Walk to the end of the foyer, turn left and enter (1 door) (Second 
Picture)
3.       Meeting Room 1 is the first door on the left (Third Picture)


I don't have a specific agenda for the visit as yet: I'm sure Chris would love 
to know your interests. I'm hoping to see how the new warehouse is going (yay 
SQL 2012) and hear more about the "information grid" that Alfred are building.

Kind regards,

William Rose
