We had our most successful EDMPASS meeting ever last night. We were lucky enough to get (newly appointed MVP) Brent Ozar via Live Meeting as our feature presenter. The session was titled “Hit the Ground Running with SQL Server 2008″ and it was a great presentation on the Central Management Server, Policy Based Management, and the Resource Governor.
I jokingly refer to Brent Ozar as my “Mr Miyagi of the SQL Server Community”… when I first decided to start blogging and get more involved in the community he was always more then willing to lend a hand and opinion on how best to approach things and his advice has always proven to be invaluable.
I was shocked this morning when I heard that Brent Ozar is NOW an MVP… I always thought he was one as he’s been one of the many great leaders in the community so I guess Microsoft was just a little behind the curve but at least they got it right now 
My congratz also go out to my friends Jeremiah Peschka and Tim Ford as well as to all the new MVPs… keep up the good work everyone!
Enjoy!!
My chopsticks skill, let me show you it…
Brent has been doing the same things for me as well. He’s so generous with his time.
Love the photoshop. I’ve referred to him as Master Yoda in the past, but I don’t have the PS skills to pull that one off.
