We are still friends

I made the decision to not apply for a 2022 renewal at the end of 2021, mostly due to burnout and a lack of time to commit to the program. I reached out this year to enquire about returning in 2024 and they were happy to welcome me back for the remainder of 2023.

What is the FoRG program?

The Friends of Redgate program is a group of influential and active community members, such as popular blog writers, speakers, consultants, as well as Microsoft Data Platform MVPs. The Friends of Redgate program is an exclusive group of influential and active community members, such as popular blog writers, speakers, consultants, as well as Microsoft Data Platform MVPs. We help our Friends to support the community by providing opportunities to collaborate on content such as articles, webinars and speaking sessions. We also connect them with our development teams, so they can get the inside scoop on our products and share their insights and ideas.

I have the opportunity to collaborate with the wider FoRG community and participate in research calls and early access programs allowing me to contribute to the shaping of their future products. This is a great way for developers to get access to users with real-world experiences and insights. Redgate has always been pretty awesome at this if you have ever been to a SQL in the City and seen their incubator sessions.
