SQL Server 2008 R2 is the next generation of the Microsoft SQL Server database platform, planned for release in the first half of 2010. SQL Server 2008 R2 expands on the value delivered in SQL Server 2008 to help organizations improve IT and developer efficiency with:
- new and enhanced tools for the management of applications and multiple servers
- master data services
- complex event processing

A big thank you to our Facilities Sponsor, the University of Regina!
We've just begun our sponsorship drive for the 2009-2010 season. Want to invest in your community? Check out our sponsorship page.
I am happy to announce the launch of the Regina Technology Community.
The Regina Technology Community has formed from a consortium of local special interest groups:
• .NET User Group
• IT Pro User Group
• SQL Server User Group
• SharePoint User Group
We recognize that no technology is an island. We work in technological ecosystems that requires an understanding of many disciplines. Having one community allows us to deliver a wide spectrum of content to our members. It also provides the forum for additional topics such as development methodologies, business analysis, project management and information technology management.
The Regina Technology Community is organized by a team of local volunteers. We currently have over 300 members and are growing. The community is composed of developers, analysts, testers, architects, administrators (systems, applications, servers, databases) and students. Many different industries and local organizations are represented.
The community is scheduling monthly events in the above disciplines for IT professionals.
We encourage people interesting in the community and our events to join our newsletter at our website

Special thanks to Carlin Pohl and Chantal LaPlante that have been champions in developing this new community.
