For a trip down memory lane from 11 years ago and multiple SHARE conferences since then , GOOGLE:
Confessions of a first-time SHARE attendee Your comments about the website have some merit, especially for a first timer. I like your banner idea a lot. Bob -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2014 8:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Beginners question about SHARE For the record let me state that I am not badmouthing SHARE. I love this platform and I like SHARE because it is the best we've got. I'm not some bystander bashing SHARE: I have presented at half a dozen (?) SHAREs, exhibited at half a dozen (?) more, and I'm on the Security Project with Carla. My comments were constructive. I think SHARE would be better off with a little less of an "old boys' club" approach to attendance. (And Yes, old boys come in both genders.) That's my opinion. Anyone is free to have a different opinion, but that does not make my constructive suggestion "badmouthing." SHARE is not a religion where any critical discussion equals sacrilege or blasphemy. Shmuel said "maybe it's just the Web site." Well, yes, my first suggestion was: There should be a big banner on the Web site "welcome to YOUR first SHARE." I didn't start this thread. If you think that newcomers having to ask on a forum "how the heck do I go to my first SHARE?" is satisfactory, then I guess all is well with how SHARE does things today.
