There was a great group of 10 Microsoft SQL Professionals attending who gave me great feedback and interaction during and after the presentation. I’ve agreed to do a follow up, Part 2, sometime in the future. Most of the presentation was demo which I may record seperately and upload to YouTube, but the slides are available from Slide

Michael has had two books published within weeks of each other, one of them Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 Inside Out we were co-authors on.

The presentation was on SQL Server Master Data Services which are a feature of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, but kind of hidden. The presenter, Garrett Edmondson, specializes in Business Intelligence using the Kimball Methodology and works for a small group doing R&D for Tribune in San Antonio. It was clear from his presentation that there is one book on MDS and it’s a must read

Other than that, I didn’t see much new in the chat. Eric kind of dodged a question by Rick Taylor about mobile, one about Skype
