The webcast is done

Well, we had the SQL group webcast today. You can view it for the next 90 days here. It was a lot of fun. The content was great, we had a big turn out (42 apparently!), hadn't catered for enough (my fault I think, I should've made sure Penny & Rose knew the expected numbers a few days earlier), had all kinds of headaches trying to get the audio working reliably (it dropped out every 10 minutes, still working that one out), but it was a great time.

We had our vote for the December 15th topic - it's going to be on Tuning Query Plans for the Optimizer with David Lean. Lunchtime again. And we'll webcast that one too. Heck, we'll webcast them all if we can (unless the speaker doesn't want us to).
