Dear Readers,

SAS Tech Report readers are a varied group. I've received e-mails from some of you in information technology, business and finance. You write from as far away as Africa and as near as Cary, NC. You're enthusiastic about your work and the ways that SAS technology helps you do it. Now, we're ready to hear your ideas in a more formal presentation at SAS Global Forum 2009. The call for papers is now open.

As a side note, I've read a couple of blogs recently that I'd like to point out to you. Alison Bolen, editor of sascom® magazine and writer of sascom voices, compiled a list of blogs by SAS users. And Renee Harper, Web strategist and author of the Key Happenings blog, posted a list of the newest RSS feeds at SAS. Blogs and RSS feeds are quick routes to information suited to your needs. Enjoy!
