The response? &lt;a href="http://www.manning.com/nielsen/" target="_blank"&gt;SQL Server MVP Deep Dives&lt;/a&gt;, released at the PASS Summit 2009. Proceeds from the sale of that book continue to go to &lt;a href="http://www.warchild.org" target="_blank"&gt;War Child International&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It hasn’t stopped there, though. This year, SQL Server MVPs have completed &lt;a href="http://www.manning.com/delaney/" target="_blank"&gt;SQL Server MVP Deep Dives 2&lt;/a&gt;, with proceeds donated to &lt;a href="http://www.operationsmile.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Operation Smile&lt;/a&gt;. There are copies available &lt;a href="http://www.manning.com/delaney/" target="_blank"&gt;online&lt;/a&gt; and at the &lt;a href="http://www.sqlpass.org/summit/2011/" target="_blank"&gt;PASS Summit 2011&lt;/a&gt; book store right now. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you have your copy, you can join many of the authors and editors of this book today from 1:00-2:30 PM PDT between the Expo Hall and Dining Hall at the &lt;a href="http://www.sqlpass.org/summit/2011/" target="_blank"&gt;PASS Summit&lt;/a&gt;, where we will be honored to sign your copy. Many of us will also gather Friday morning from 7:15-8:00 AM in the South lobby by the bookstore . &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It is truly an honor to participate in such an endeavor. Thanks to &lt;a href="http://www.manning.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Manning&lt;/a&gt;, the editors, my fellow authors, and everyone else who worked to make &lt;a href="http://www.manning.com/delaney/" target="_blank"&gt;SQL Server MVP Deep Dives 2&lt;/a&gt; happen.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;:{&amp;gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
