I am presenting the PASS DBA SIG the 3^rd of December at NOON eastern.

Social Computing for DBA

This month, we will take on a "Professional Development" topic after all of the hardcore tech goodness of the PASS Summit.
Less face it. DBA's are conservative by nature and this is a good thing. However, this can lead to slow adoption of new services that could help you do your job and interact with other DBA's. In a Web 2.0 world, you have more than NNTP newsgroups, mailing lists and web forums that community is built around.
In this session, we will look at these services as they apply to the DBA so we can see how we can best leverage them on the job and professionally. The brave may even want to tie some of these services into the data tier. We will talk about good and bad of doing that. We will also take a look at some up and coming services that we should keep an eye on.
