Queensland Ingres
User Group Events 2011

The Queensland INGRES User Group Inc meets on the last Wednesday of each odd numbered month.

All are welcome, however because we are a self-funded group, non-members will be encouraged to join. 

No events have been tabled by the QIUG Management Committee for the 2011 calendar year:

We need Committee Members and Presenters.

The Ingres User Group has been active for twenty years now, but this year we need help with running the Group. We need some Committee members; the posts of Vice-president and Treasurer and Members at Large are currently vacant.

There is no need to physically attend meetings if you can not do so. Most things can be done over the phone or internet nowadays. Can you help? Contact me if you think you can or have any questions.

If you have a computer-related interest that you think would be of interest to the Queensland Ingres community and are willing to share your experiences with a group of like-minded people, we would love to hear from you. Do you have expertise in a language, framework or product that you think we should hear about? Does your company have a product that you are proud of and would like to tell us about? Have you been involved in an interesting project? Have a look under the User Group Meeting link to see previous presentations.

There is no need that the topic be directly related to the Ingres RDBMS; we have had presentations on Hibernate, Spring, Ruby, Software Quality (CMMI) and the like in the past, which have been of great interest and utility to our Members

If you can help with the Qld Ingres User Group, or know something or have done something you would like to share with the Group, please contact us.
