If you are planning to attend, PLEASE send an E-Mail by that date to <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject line of "Meeting Attendance". This is meant to be a facilities planning aid and should not be interpreted as a registration requirement. If you suddenly become available at the last minute, please feel free to attend even if you have not responded. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. ---------- Cell Phone Policy: All electronic devices (cell phones, Blackberry's, etc.) if switched on must be kept in silent mode during the meeting. If you need to make or receive a call, you must quietly leave the meeting room to do so. There is a large quiet area outside of the meeting room that is ideal for this. Any intentional or repeat violations of this policy will result in that individual being escorted from the premises and potentially excluded from future meetings. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. ---------- Meeting Agenda: 9:00 AM z/VM Device Support Overview Come to this presentation to hear an overview of current device support available on z/VM Version 5.
