NoCOUG is “the little user group that could!” As you might imagine, it requires a vast amount of work to organize a full-day users group conference and publish a printed journal every quarter. No sooner has a conference ended and a journal mailed than it is time to start work on the next conference and the next journal. But the awesome NoCOUG volunteers have pulled it off—quarter after quarter—for 30 long years. The upcoming NoCOUG conference on Thursday, November 17 at PayPal Town Hall in San Jose will be its 120th quarterly conference! The theme is “A Bright and Cloudy Future for All Your Databases.” The advantages of the cloud are inescapable so buckle up and ride the wave.
