"In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity". These are the words of Sun Tzu who famously wrote The Art of War. While customers, partners, and Puritans all get acquainted to the rebrand from Pure Storage, to EverPure; it also provides us the opportunity to create a unique identity for our PUG chapter. And this is where we need your help. We know our community is filled with creative minds. And Cincinnati has many unique identities, from our beautiful skyline (and chili), to our sports teams (Reds, Bengals, FCC, Cyclones, UC, X), to our landmarks (Roebling Bridge, the Museum Center and Zoo, Fountain Square). This is your chance to help us create our own PUG identity. Get your creative juices flowing and visit the below link for additional details and how YOU can help us create the Cincinnati PUG logo.

Let's get the elephant in the room cleared up first. PUGS are staying PUGS. Now with that out of the way, let's move onto what this post really is for. With the rebrand to Everpure, we have the opportunity to create distinct visual identities for PUG chapters. To ensure this is a truly community-driven process, we are requesting community members (YOU & your peers) create a mood board for your chapter. So....lay it on us. Your funniest, snarkiest, most professional, most IT-Related ideas for what our new spiffy PUG logo should be. I'm told that it will become a "mood board." I'm not sure what that means and I generally would think it a dangerous thing to publicly display the mood of a bunch of IT folks. But the designers have asked, so in the words of the Special Man, "Let 'em have it." -t Don't know the Special Man? You're missing out: https://youtu.be/XI7jC57GuZM?si=_bkicOxNGFdipf4zEverPUG?

Hey gang, If any of you currently hold a Flash Array certification there is an alternative to retaking the test to renew your cert. The Continuing Pure Education (CPE) program takes into account learning activities and community engagement and contribution hours to renew your FA certification. I just successfully renewed my Flash Array Storage Professional cert by tracking my activities. Below are the details I received from Pure. Customers can earn 1 CPE credit per hour of session attendance at Accelerate, for a maximum of 10 CPEs total (i.e., up to 10 hours of sessions). Sessions must be attended live. I would go ahead and add all the sessions you attended at Accelerate to the CPE_Submission form. Associate-level certifications will auto-renew as long as there is at least one active higher-level certification (e.g., Data Storage Associate will auto-renew anytime a Professional-level cert is renewed). All certifications other than the Data Storage Associate should be renewed separately. At this time, the CPE program only applies to FlashArray-based exams. Non- FA exams may be renewed by retaking the respective test every three years. You should be able to get the CPE submission form from your account team. Once complete email your recertification Log to peak-education@purestorage.com for formal processing.
