Susan, While I agree with your feelings on the matter, I don't think BMC is going to do any of the things you suggest. Also, I sent my sales rep an email after the news of it being cancelled, and have been in contact with him as an "outlet" rather than the ARSList. Sometimes it's better to handle things that way than to be known as the "angry anti-BMC person" should you deal with BMC support personnel or an employer that reads the ARSList. Another reason is that there is a lot going on right now that takes precedence, at least for me. The hurricane was a big problem, the U.S. and possibly the world are facing a huge financial crisis, and lots of other smaller things are going on too.
In any case, I wish you good luck and hope that the BMC User World conference does take place next year. Right now, I'm just going to try to get my refunds and focus on other things. Yes, it is highly disappointing, but I don't see what I can do about it. Shawn Pierson From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Palmer Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 3:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: It's official from the BMC UserWorld web site ... October 2009 ** Has anyone notice how 'un-arslist' this topic has been? No one seems to care and BMC should be concerned about that. The fact that no one wants to rant about it or even make jokes about it is so uncharacteristic of this group. This group gets heartburn on a drop of a dime usually. Say it the wrong way and you get 60 replies! What's going on? I'm very disappointed in this whole affair. Where's the spark? Where's the outrage? Not like you didn't see this possibility when you went to the hotel website after last year's RUG and found they were under construction .... red flag !! Are there any plans to share with us any of the news that would have been shared in just a few short weeks? Any podcasts planned? Do you want the regional RUGS to start setting up something to provide this? No one is thinking about these things at BMC? Why not hold the RUG virtually? Webex's of the sessions. Giant webex's of the morning gathering. You have the registrations so you know who would be a valid login. Maybe use this as an opportunity for all customers to login even if they didn't register. What a show of goodwill to the BMC customer community to do something like this. Maybe if people get a taste of the sessions and the value they provide more would attend. Of course I'm being selfish, I don't really care about the other products. They have to find people to push their cause. I'm looking for the Remedy stuff !! I'm sure there's a 100 people here that can think of additional ways to still pull this off. Don't let BMC think we really don't care ....speak up.
