Last year when I attended RUG, I was able to get a sneak peak at Galileo. That look, plus an understating of the direction BMC was moving give me insight which helped form our mobile direction in the world of ITSM.
I do agree, that there should be some technical sessions. However, if I don’t understand the direction that BMC is going (which I do help to see more of), how can I help with the planning of our companies direction as well as my own future. Remember that there are companies knocking on the doors of BMC customers and we need as a community understand how they responding. As Sun Tzu said, The opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

It will be hard for BMC to screw up the networking. That is unless none of the usual suspects attend and there is nobody to network with. I guess worst case I buy tickets to the parks and enjoy the week. So Dan... Where is WWRUG15 going to be?
