So LJ is going… aside from the Unisys folks that we know will be there, who
else WILL be attending from our string of conversation here??

Apparently...the process took a bit longer than anticipated....one of my two
topics got accepted, so it appears I WILL be attending Engage this year :)
It appears that the content of sessions has shifted a bit in the last week. I
reported 120 at the end of last Monday. As of this exact moment, there are
only 102 active sessions, 41 are Remedy related, 11 by non BMCers, and 4 are
technical.
So, the numbers are shifting a bit....but my topic isn't in that list yet, but
it titled 'Remedy Java API – Basic Components' where I plan on discussing how
the API is structured, how the objects relate to what you see in Remedy Dev
Studio as well as Mid-Tier, and how to manipulate your Remedy system through
the API to get the best out of it. :)...
I'm hopeful at this point that Engage is morphing into something a bit more
acceptable to the many technical resources we have here on the list.

I guess the best 'rejection letter' you can possibly get is the accepted list
coming out and not being able to find yourself anywhere on there.
Looking through the sessions, I see there are 120 sessions total. 46 are
'Remedy' related, that's ITSM or ROD (38%) in some way or another. Of those
only 12 are not being done by BMCers (10%). 4 of those are listed as
'Technical' (3%). All 4 of them are directly related to ITSM (3 SRM, 1 CMDB).
Nothing that's directly related to Remedy as a development platform, but as a
platform to sell their OOTB tools....part of me is disappointed, but not
surprised.
Both of the topics I submitted were of a technical nature, relating to Remedy,
not ITSM...so, I guess that's likely why neither topic was selected for
presentation....
and due due to the fact that I was counting on not paying the admission fees,
I'm not going to be able to justify the expense to attend this
year...so...maybe I'll do them anyway, but post them on my site instead so
everyone can benefit instead of just the ones that attend Engage...who knows.

By doing our own thing we would simply be creating an overlay on ENGAGE. Once
we create the overlay we can customize and changes by BMC won't have an impact.
Except if they delete one of us in base, that will have an impact on the
overlay.

Not if you do it from a hotel room though? I'll pitch in for a suite. We can set up a google hang out and a live tweet session.

Yeah I proposed this... Somekind of "genius bar" or something, maybe panel
like, or small breakouts or something...
Could have been setup like a "mini community onsite" using Matt for this...
Maybe we could squat the booth location for this when it's not attended? If
it's like wwrug, it's just opened for lunch / not a long time, we could use the
place to do some small groups about a theme or something?
So, a mix between the "bird & the feathers", "genius bar", "community" and
whatever?
We could even stream it live on the net so the others could see it (that could
be a problem with BMC rules though).

I was willing to sponsor a technical/learning lab at the conference.
Reached out to numerous people. Deaf ears. Oh well... I'm still going. Love
networking (by networking I mean drinking) with you guys if you decide to go.

The evening is still there, Tuesday from 6 to 8 PM:
http://www.eventmgmt.aimia.com/events/bmc-engage-2014/custom-20-2bc888d975f2496db5d3f819b9735209.aspx
But that's weird... Since breakouts continue from 6 to 9 PM on
tuesday... So or you go stalk the Engineers (and potentially miss 2 breakouts),
or you attend the breakouts (and miss the candy)?

And with so many evening sessions, where does the Evening with
Engineering or the other evening activities go? Will they even have them?

Not impressed. My first impress is welcome back BMC Marketing
World. We haven't missed you all these years. Maybe I need to just let it
soak in for a day or two?.?.?.
Unless I am overlooking something it seems there are very few
presentations by customers.

You are certainly trusting Terry!
I’ll wait for the agenda and hope they extend the early
bird rate. I can see it now…
ME: Hi Mr. Director, please spend thousands of dollars for
me to be gone for almost a week for a conference where we have no idea what the
content is. There is an early bird discount!!!
DIR: Come back when you have an agenda and a firm grasp on
what you sessions are going to attend AND how much you are going to spend.
ME: Big Sigh…

I believe early bird pricing expires July 31st. So, if the
agenda is out today or tomorrow, that is just "under the wire".
However, I had to make a call last week, so I registered and
paid for the conference with the understanding that I could de-register up to a certain
date with a $75.00 "admin" fee. Well, we'll see about that. :-)

I’m glad I’m not alone in the trying to get approval
for a conference that we have no idea what the content is… There should not be
“early bird” pricing that expires before the detailed agenda is even published,
in my opinion.

They missed one mark… in order to get a room you have to go through their conference desk. We are adults. We should be able to make our own reservations.
If the conference is more “sales” than technical, there
is no way I can get approval. I’ll be disappointed if they go back to the way
it was before it became WWRUG!

I agree that our WWRUG friends are much better at
communicating and giving people the information they need to decide, get
approvals and make travel arrangements than BMC. Let's just hope they don't
completely miss the mark on this conference.
