Hello.
Our group has a seat on the CCW VRDC and is using the data and SAS environment there.
We've learned a lot about the environment and are going thru lots of changes that deal with:
* - Code Work Flow
* - Project scalability
* - Code Updates/Change Control
* - Team management/prioritization
* - Q/A Testing of code locally before running on VRDC
* - Code refactoring/Changes/Updates in order to allow running easier on VRDC
And others.
I'd like to form a SIG and find others who use the VRDC and deal with some of the same challenges.
Is anyone else out there using the VRDC?
Our code, usage ranges from Freqs, to Stats, macros.
But one thing is certain - how it looks(looked) on our local environment is not optimal now for how we must run it in VRDC.
Please contact me if you are interested in maybe a small virtual forum first?
Would love to start knowledge sharing and exchange ideas.
I've searched for something like that and havent found it. If someone knows of a group I can join that would also be appreciated.
Thx
Zeke Torres
Zeke,
I am not even sure what a SAS SIG is... but I am definitely interested in a ensuring that VRDC users are getting together to collaborate and learn!
With that in mind... we have started a Google Group for VRDC users here:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/vrdc
And we are also going to try to get a user group meetup going at the next datapalooza!
http://www.academyhealth.org/events/site/2018-health-datapalooza
It will likely be a "pre day" to the conference and will also include some kind of night function during the conference.. (not entirely sure... )
Hi Everyone.
Just want to comment and update that there is more information on the VRDC and our small group is up and open.
So Fred does have that google group going.
We likely should be posting more information here too.
I've also started a Git repo to share more facts too.

Would love to gather and exchange best practices, ideas and so on with like minded people.
Best
Zeke
