It’s Vacation Time. #SQLVacation, That is!

Vacation

The best way to spend a week of your summer is on the SQLCruise like mi amigo, Aaron Bertrand (b | t) is doing. Barring that, there are a multitude of great vacations awaiting us.

This summer, we at SQL Sentry have decided to do a fun riff on the National Lampoon Vacation movies starring Chevy Chase.

I’m going to load up the Horde in a minivan (Well, only 5 of my 7 kids but no dog or mother-in-law this time) and make a circuit of the big cities between Nashville and Chicago, speaking at a different SQL Server user group meeting each day. The full itinerary is below. If you’re on the route, I hope to see you at the user group meetings!

I’ll be giving away some custom t-shirts (click to enlarge)…

…and getting the SQL Server family pumped up during the otherwise slower months of summer. In addition, we’re doing a social media contest to encourage everyone in the #SQLFamily to tweet and post about their own #SQLVacation, with prize drawings and, at the end of summer, a grand prize giveaway.

I hope you’ll take part in the social media fun. You can read all of the details about the contest, rules for participation, and such at https://neveropen.co.za/sql-vacation. If we get a lot of community participation, we’ll do it again next year, and include a whole different set of cities!
