I'm planning to be at RMOUG, Hotsos, Collaborate, and ODTUG conferences between now and June, so maybe I'll meet up with you at one of those? Let me know if that's possible--I'd love to meet up and talk about the RAC SIG and more.Dan Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711669745371007306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349263980989896476.post-77768751933020022682009-01-23T12:10:00.000-08:002009-01-23T12:10:00.000-08:00Dan,Mike is a good guy and very dedicated to his u...Dan,<BR/><BR/>Mike is a good guy and very dedicated to his users group. He flew in for the IOUC meeting on his daughters birthday, which I could tell was a struggle for him. I notice you work with the RAC SIG. Let's stay in touch, as I just spoke with Murali Vallath about doing a column in the coming months about you guys .Jeff Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182516493228818760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349263980989896476.post-23487154403681148192009-01-23T07:07:00.000-08:002009-01-23T07:07:00.000-08:00You picked a good candidate in Mike.

I find Mike to be a sincere and upbeat person who is always willing to extend a hand, but also keeps things realistic when tough decisions have to be made. I look forward to your interview being published!Dan Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711669745371007306noreply@blogger.com
