Re: BMC UserWorld Miami is being rescheduled
Thanks, Axton. As also mentioned in my original E-mail, I was attempting to be proactive in letting the larger community know of the changes when I found out they were posted to the UserWorld web site. I just copy/pasted the language from the web site into my message as a convenience so that folks on plain-text E-mail readers could see the info as well without having to go to the URL. My (limited) knowledge is that an E-mail was sent to some partners and internal BMC employees. A more formal message is most likely going out to registered guests soon. I suppose that I could have waited until the formal E-mail was set out to point folks to the UserWorld site - or waited until an ARSList member stumbled upon it and then posted Hey, they rescheduled BMC UserWorld and didn't tell us! - but I thought it more community responsible to post the link to the preliminary information as soon as it was publicly available. My apologies if that has caused dissatisfaction due to the informal method used. Thanks, -David J. Easter Sr. Product Manager, Solution Strategy and Development BMC Software, Inc.

Re: BMC UserWorld Miami is being rescheduled
I agree - the heads-up and info provided here was very much appreciated. I think our dissatisfaction is with the fact that BMC hasn't seen fit to tell us anything official in a timely manner, as well as that they need to do so at all (which isn't their fault).

Re: BMC UserWorld Miami is being rescheduled
David, I don't think anyone should find fault with your notification to the list. In fact we appreciate it. Much better to find it out here than to stumble across it on the website. I do think it would have been appropriate for them to send the website message to all registered attendees at the same time it was posted to the website. We've heard here that some have received a notification and some (like myself) have not. But you also know after a year plus of active 'arslisting' that we do love to banter back and forth about things that are important to us. BMC should be pleased that we care that much. Now they can get over it and start communicating with us directly. Ummm ... wonder if the interest on my credit card until event time will be refunded. Hardly seems fair to expense it right now when we don't actually know it's going to be held before next summer/fall. Ok ... don't want to get started on all that again. Thanks again David.

Re: BMC UserWorld Miami is being rescheduled, ARSlist Awards voting etc. suspended
Perhaps I should do the ARSlist Awards in France as well, Since that one is unlikely to move (mostly just kidding). In any event, we will restart the nomination process soon, So that the Award winners are selected closer to the Conference. The only time we did this on-line with no physical award ceremony Was in the year of the Falcon-type-bird product now owned by HP. I snail-mailed plaques to the winner(s) or delivered them the next year. ...

It depends on your budget year. Yours runs by calendar year. Ours is

BMC was put in a no win situation. They are trying to make the best of

To go further on that, most companies have training budget for each
seperate year, and if they push the conference past the end of the year,
then they are making life harder for all of their customers' accounting.
For example, I already paid for registration, air travel, etcl, but if
the hotel is next year, it would come off of my 2009 budget rather than
my 2008 budget. If I wanted to move money from this year to next I'd

Re: BMC UserWorld Miami is being rescheduled
It was referenced verbally at some recent BMC event, probably just as a placeholder. Nice, France, sometime in late May is the alleged place/time.

Re: BMC UserWorld Miami is being rescheduled
My $0.02 on this mess, is that this year there should be no conference anymore,
since anyway ARS 7.5 and ITSM 7.5 would be released in 2009 . So the closer the
conference with the release of the latest versions of ARS and ITSM (and CMDB
and the rest), the more content there will be on the new versions, and the more
beneficial it will be for the customers and partners.

than Mr. Easter's to the ARS List (which I appreciate him doing).
However, if you go to the BMC User World site, you will also see that
they display the same message that was in this email. I hope that they
can keep it the same time frame as well as in Miami, but based on the
contents of the email, this may not be the case. We'll have to wait and
see. From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList)

BMC UserWorld Miami is being rescheduledUnwavering Commitment to a
Great Conference.
New Conference Dates Location Coming Soon.
BMC UserWorld is on the move. We have received notification from the
Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel, planned location of UserWorld Miami,
that they will not be able to open for business in time for our event.
Our priority is providing customers and partners with a world-class
event in an outstanding venue, so we are rescheduling the conference.
If you have already registered for the Miami conference, we are sorry
for any inconvenience this may cause you and hope that you can join us
at the rescheduled event. Watch your email for additional information
and instructions pertaining to prepaid registration fees and pre-booked
travel and hotel arrangements.

I would have to agree with that logic. Might as well push it back a few months from January so they can release information abou the next version.

Re: BMC UserWorld Miami is being rescheduled
Or how about a totally radical change in the BUW approach... Make it a more practical, hands on, User Group. What if BMC (and partners) set up say... 1 ARS server per 10 attendees. Some with ITSM's some without.. etc... Some of the week could be spent by attendees (and/or groups of attendees) doing Challenges to design/implement/fix ARS applications on 7.5. Winners get Lifetime passes to BUW. (or other great prizes from BMC) What kind of actual work could BMC (or the customers) get done in a week of co-ordinated effort of the best and brightest of BMC's customers? Maybe building applications that: could be used for registering for the next BUW? enhance/augment the customers support experience? (Say.. an RFE application that BMC wants but has yet to find the time to build?) Maybe even opportunities for customers to directly add KB articles for BMC techsupport to use? Just a few wild ideas... :) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap Pick two.

Re: BMC UserWorld Miami is being rescheduled
Matt, How about a virtual meeting. We all go to the bar of our choice and BMC sends us wireless cards. Then they can show us 7.5. I just need a drink. And all have a great long weekend.
