As we discussed at our European community meeting in Mainz, a lot of people where interested in a local meet up.
We started this with a local community Meeting at University of Leipzig at October 16, 2008 and organized this via XING. 
People came from Leipzig, Berlin, Jena and even Frankfurt to attend the following sessions. (I added some links for additional information where appropriate.)
| Use of Pentaho BI for Teaching (Volker) |
| What's new in Pentaho BI Suite 2.0 (Mike) |
| Cases @ OSS-Central (Volker) |
| Experiences with Pentaho Data Integration (Sebastian) |
| Integration of Pentaho in a Commerce Suite (Matthias) |
| What's new in Pentaho Data Integration 3.1 (Jens) |
| How does Beer Taste in Leipzig? |
Thanks to all for participating and become this first local meeting in Leipzig a great success and benefit to everyone!
We also talked about the organization of such upcoming local events. To keep track of this, feel free to join the XING Pentaho European User Group, look at Pentaho Community Meetings and Local User Groups or read the community newsletter.
Cheers,
Jens
