Hi Gordon,
I wish you were here too, I *really* need the defense this year. I injured my knee on Saturday. I am working on alternate strategies for Thursday. My defense team should be quite effective. Further to what Doug said, and obviously everything is preliminary, I know there are already discussions both within BMC and the attendees here amongst themselves, about how to keep the atmosphere of RUG alive in a BMC wide customer event. They have recognized that the conference in Vancouver in 2007 was less than ideal and do want to avoid that. So far we have avoided chanting “developers, developers …” So stay tuned over the coming months for more about next year, and more about this year over the next few days. NOTE: Important Session on Thursday 10 a.m. This year’s MVP winner (if that person is in attendance) will be joining past MVPs, and myself, on stage for ARSlist Live! We haven’t managed a live broadcast, but we will be asking and answering questions both from attendees and the list! “See” you then!

Let us know if you hear anymore. Dan will have to deflect his own twinkies this year without me in attendance! He's big enough and quite fast on his feet as you all noticed last year. Doug Mueller needed to duck though. Enjoy and I wish I were there!

The truth is that I have actually been in fascinating breakout sessions since this morning, and this is the first time I have slowed down a little! Let me put on my "reporter" hat. The big news from BMC is that the next BMC "User Event" will be held the week of October 13, 2014, at The Swan and Dolphin resort in Orlando, Florida. Details, such as the scope and focus of the meeting, are still in the planning stages. The announcement was made at WWRUG13 by BMC CEO Bob Beauchamp during the opening Keynote presentation. We probably should defer to BMC for announcements about content, audience, themes, subject matter and all the other creative things that happen at a conference like this, but should you hear of anything before me, please pass it along! I'll do the same :-) That's the big news for a year from now, and a lot will happen just this week alone at WWRUG. And now back to this year's conference.... Networking session with ample "lubrication" starts in an hour or so....
