Well, there's always the possibility of doing more of what we've done this
month - i.e., getting a speaker from a vendor of some technology/some
product that the group is in some way interested in. All of our speakers
have always been internal; not all LUGs (or user groups in general) do
presentations like that.

Why does you assume that it has to be a social phenomenon as well? There are
many computers groups that exist because of interest in a particular
technology or hardware, and not as social reasons - Apple User Groups,
Netware User Groups, MS Back Office group (yes, there is one), etc. Sounds
like this group would fall into that category - a group for DBAs.

Well, it looks more like his company's website, and not the group's web
site. The company does proprietary software development - web development to
your data warehouse or back office, it says. They mention Sybase, Oracle,
DB2 and IIS/COM+ technologies.
Out of Blue Bell.
It's a very nice Flash presentation, BTW.
