SSAS Maestro v1.0 Update

But how about all of the folks who completed Round 1 of SSAS Maestros in Redmond, Hong Kong, and London?  Apologies for the delay but it has taken a bit longer than we had originally anticipated to complete the evaluations.

Our partner Solid Quality, CSS, and us are currently going through the evaluation process and we believe the evaluations will be completed by June/July time frame.

So stay tuned!!  (another great way to stay tuned is to follow @sqlcat and/or search #SSASMaestro)
