Social Gathering at McMenamins Cedar Hills. Thursday, August 25th, 4:30pm - ??? [ map ]
Please try to make it, I really would like to chat with others
about the future of ORPUG, specifically a time to have our meetings (morning, afternoon, evening, etc). These have been a lot of fun in the past, we'd just like to get more people attending to make it more fun.

Our first meeting was a success! WooHoo! Some good conversations as well as excellent idea's for future meetings. Some of the idea's were:
- Storage Area's
- ODBC - How do people use it?
- Cyberquery (there are a lot of Cyberquery users in Portland)
Our next meeting will be Thursday, June 16th. Location and time are TBD. This next meeting will be a recap of this years Exchange. Plan on attending, should be lots of really good stuff.
Right now we are planing on having official meetings once a quarter, March, June, Sept, maybe Dec. We will also continue our monthly informal gatherings at different places around town. We will try to always have our meetings be the third Thursday of each month. Our next gathering will be April 21st, 4:30pm - ??, place TBA.
