A Lunch Huddle is a small group of people who each have projects that involve an Oracle database and whose places of work are geographically close.  (Not recruiters or salespeople.)

I'm starting w …

And that's what this Meetup.com group is about - Networking with others and seeing how we can help each other out. Key Concept Networking is simply that... a Business Networking …
