This is the official announcement for the Suncoast PostgreSQL User Group (SPUG). You can read the blog here: http://pugs.postgresql.org/spug The SPUG serves western central Florida, specifically Tampa, St Pete, Lakeland, Brandon, Bradenton, Sarasota, and even Orlando. Hopefully we will have a great group and learn some great thing together. The first meeting is tentatively scheduled for March 11, 2008. At this time, I am thinking we will have a virtual meeting via WebHuddle.com. Additional details will be added to the above mentioned blog as things firm up. You can email me, or email spug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or post a comment on the blog, if you have any comments or questions. If you would like to attend or participate, please shoot me a note. I look forward to meeting and talking with you, even if it is virtually until we get a location. Thanks, LewisC P.S. I apologize for the cross posting. I wanted to get the message out to as many people as possible. It will be a one time thing.
