Cross-posted to the IBMVM, Linux-390, and IBM-MAIN discussion lists. The registration deadline is set hard and fast as the end of day May 31, 2013 due to Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) deadlines. For all registrations made before June 1:
* dorm room reservation requests, and parking passes will be processed, * attendees will receive a 2013 VM Workshop polo shirt at the Registration table, * attendees will receive a $65 JagTag Debit Card for food purchases in the Campus Center food court at the Registration table. Online attendee registrations will be accepted after May 31, but not for dorm room reservations, parking passes, nor 2013 VM Workshop Polo shirts. Onsite attendee registrations will be accepted by credit card, check, and cash, but again not for dorm room reservations, parking passes, nor 2013 VM Workshop Polo shirts. Additionally, availability of $65 JagTag food court debit cards for onsite registrees will be delayed until those can be purchased and distributed manually. Don't delay! Besides, the two 2-part Hands-on Labs are expected to reach their maximum capacity of 30 each rather quickly. Why attend? Well... * the 2013 VM Workshop registration fee is only $100, and * BRAND NEW double occupancy dorm rooms (pics at: http://www.vmworkshop.org/2013/housing) can be reserved before June 1 as a 3-night package for $150 (additional nights at $50 each), and * reduced rate Parking passes may be purchased for $20 (a $10 discount of the three $10/day costs), and * a lavish Thursday evening reception and dinner is included, and * a $65 IUPUI debit card for meals in the Campus Center is included, and * excellent technical sessions, and the same IBM-provided Hands-on Labs presented at the 'bigger' conferences, and * a 2013 VM Workshop polo shirt is included for registrations made before June 1, and * the famous VM Workshop Ugly Hawaiian Shirt Contest is included (BYOUHS), and * famous and infamous speakers delivering up-to-date technical sessions on z/VM and Linux on System z topics all centrally located on the IUPUI campus in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. All session slots are now 100% full. There have been rumors of a few late sessions, so some of those below might be replaced by newer sessions of more general appeal, and/or... session times adjusted. You may view each speaker's full session descriptions by visiting the current session agenda and schedule at: http://www.vmworkshop.org/2013/agenda To learn more about the 2013 VM Workshop, visit: http://www.vmworkshop.org/2013 You can review all public information at that URL, but to register you'll first need to request a VM Workshop ID (used only to minimize spambot attacks on the web site). Once you have been manually granted an ID by an admin, you may register for, and pay for (via Paypal) your purchases. Note: There are only 15 IBM-provided Hands-on lab laptops at each of the non-concurrent 'z/VM Install & Config', and 'Linux on System z Install & Config' labs. Once you have received a workshop ID, you may reserve a seat at one and/or the other labs (maximum attendee reservations for each lab = 30).
