Radio Interview"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A couple months ago, one of our local Microsoft\u00a0Evangelists asked me if I would do a TechNet Radio interview about the <a href=\"http:\/\/northtexas.sqlpass.org\" target=\"_blank\">North Texas SQL Server User Group<\/a>.\u00a0I&#8217;m on the board of directors for the group as the Director of Logistics and Communication, and he wanted the point of view from a user group leader.\u00a0 I was more than happy to do it for two reasons.<\/p>\n<p>First, I love\u00a0the SQL community and our strong and vibrant user group.\u00a0 We are about to host our third <a href=\"http:\/\/sqlsaturday.com\/63\/eventhome.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">SQLSaturday<\/a> in 12 months this weekend, we are having an awesome <a href=\"http:\/\/sqlsaturday63.eventbrite.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">pre-con the Friday prior<\/a>, and have petitioned to get <a href=\"http:\/\/sqlrally.com\" target=\"_blank\">SQLRally<\/a> 2012 here in the Dallas area.\u00a0 It is a very exciting and busy\u00a0time for us!<\/p>\n<p>My second reason is\u00a0John Weston (<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/jweston\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blog<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/technetguy\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>).\u00a0 John is one of Microsoft&#8217;s local evangelists for the DFW area and surrounding states.\u00a0 What does an evangelist do?\u00a0 Think\u00a0Oral Roberts, but they are champions for Microsoft products and don&#8217;t swindle money from you.\u00a0 Their role is get the word out about Microsoft products whether it be an update to an existing product or a new product.\u00a0 Part of that mission is to support local community groups in getting the resources they need.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve worked with other evangelists and people in Microsoft\u00a0with regards to some\u00a0user group needs, and none of them have been more willing and helpful than John.\u00a0 We had a facilities related issue that had gone on for months with responses that were either ignored or just unwilling to provide us with what we needed.\u00a0 One conversation with John and it was fixed before the next meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks John!<\/p>\n<p>Here is the interview for your viewing pleasure, and make sure to click the links above for all the exciting things the North Texas SQL Server User Group is doing.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/en-us\/edge\/video\/technet-radio-community-corner-john-weston-interviews-ryan-adams-north-texas-sql-server-user-group\"
