During this month around april 18/20th. I had a request coming in for speakers from SqlCon to talk about sql performance and related things at an internal only discussion with the DBA's and MCDBA enthusiasts working out at Microsoft IBDC.
The scene was set to conduct this session when most of the DBA's were around which happens to be in the middle of the night when shift changes occur. I happened to discuss with Viswanath and Veerji Wangoo and we went ahead and yeah late in the night we did our session in which I basically went over there to have a talk and describe community initiatives by MUGH.
The results were pretty amazing. I am pasting parts of a appreciation mail which came in around April 20.
Special thanks from all of us to the trios of MUGH
Got a very good feedback about that interaction from all our Prod support people thro different mails
I swear their voice about that discussion is highly true and it was very good
Can we continue the same on one day in next week?
Probably any Friday nights
Looking forward for your suggestions or any new ideas about the future plan to work jointly
Regards,
Shan

Subject: Best seminar in SQL server performance by SQLCON guys in MCDBA Discussion
Thanks Veerji, Vishwanath and Tameem for dropping here specially to spread some words about SQLCON and MUGH alongwith a professional seminar about SQL server performance
This session initiated a lot of thought process in our minds right from community activity to Clustered index
To say about the seminar in few words, “It’s the best of all seminars which we had until now and very professional of its kind”
Sametime, Thanking audience for enabling us to have a nice hi-fi discussion with lot of scenario based questions
Veerji: We can expect a follow-up from Veerji about some of very important debates which we had yesterday.
Vishwanath: Please pass on your performance and other SQL server tips which we discussed yesterday to the DL
Tameem and MUGH team: Please pass on links to us about the SQLCON and MUGH community activities and stay us informed by a mail to this DL.

Someone from audience can volunteer themselves to write the minutes of meeting
Looking forward for such nice interactions with SQLCON in future to build around the SQL server community
