Moses Lake 4/30/02 - The 1st meeting of PowerUsers held this past Monday in Moses Lake proved to be very productive and led to the decision to establish regular meetings on a monthly basis. We learned that we have an excellent pool of resources from varying backgrounds to develop an Integrated solution using SKIES data to support local databases. Above are links to supporting documents provided by Terry Westmark and Larry Henderson covered in their presentations. As discussed in the meeting, Larry is researching the option to support the download and access of each Region's data files.

This group has the potential to be a platform to keep the team updated w/appropriate data tools while establishing an agreed process to use those tools and resources. One of the initial goals is to provide the resources necessary to bring interested team members up to speed with vocabulary relating to the technology. The first step ... SQL. Above are a few links to learn more about the two books discussed in the meeting.

To support consistent communication for team members between meetings, Power Users are encouraged to use the Data Warehouse forum in the SKIES Discussion Board (note - no longer available) for ongoing discussions, ideas, and suggestions.

Please forward suggested agenda topics for the next meeting at your first opportunity and thanks again for your support and enthusiasm.
