May a rusty old geezer attend? I retired 19+ years ago and have not had an opportunity to use VM or a mainframe since. However, during my VM days I had the opportunity to attend most VM Workshops as well as most Share meetings and I really miss those days. Are there any VMers from the 1980's planning to attend? It would be wonderful to see you again.
Sure thing. Come on down. I'll be there. So, who of you old-timers plans to attend? Me and Neale Ferguson for sure, plenty of the other "usual suspects". There'll be faces you know. Seriously, folks, the Workshop is probably the best opportunity out there to get 1-on-1 with the people that make this technology go. A personal note: the 1988 VM Workshop marked one of my very first presentations in the VM community. I met people there that I've stayed in touch with for years, and it set the tone of most of the rest of my career (thanks again, Jeff and Melinda!). If you have new people to VM, this is the place to send them to get them jumpstarted on just how cool z/VM really is. See you there. -- db
