Wishing is the first step. Now all you have to do is create an account on meetup.com, schedule something, advertise the heck out of it here on ORACLE-L, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc and then figure out who's going to pick up the check for lunch. :-)

What a great idea. Wish we had something like this in Southern California/Orange County area.On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 7:23 AM, Jeremy Schneider <jeremy.schneider@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:jeremy.schneider@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote:We've got these dba lunch meetups going in Chicago and we tried something new last week. Started lunch by "introducing" one of the members. The interviewee answers a few questions, and we keep the discussion around each question to a few minutes. Fun way to start lunch and there was still plenty of time for the usual techy chatter afterwards. My question for this (oracle-l) list: if you could ask a DBA anything, what would you ask? Here are the four questions we've used so far: 1. how'd you get started with the oracle db? 2. what's the most interesting system or application you've worked on in your career? can you tell us a bit about the architecture? 3. who's your #1 influencer, mentor, or author? 4. what's the #1 thing you need to learn so you'll still have a job in 5-10 years? BTW - lunch is in deerfield today, schaumburg tomorrow and downtown next wednesday. Just in case anyone is interested in joining. :) -J -- http://about.me/jeremy_schneider
