I’m going to send e-mail now and maybe try to set up a meeting!
There was a comment by Mary in the Training post that made me thinking. There must be some OBIEE people in DC / Maryland / Virginia region who would want to meet each other informally. If you’d be interested in something like this, please leave a comment. If there’re enough people – we could start meeting on a regular basis. I think this would be great for networking as well as for transferring knowledge.
