So much for hanging back in the shadows after Mike's comments...  hook,
line and sinker.

MVMRUG is a great one-day opportunity to hear a few hot topics and talk to
others that are close to VM and zLinux, but I have to admit that it may not
be the best for folks brand new to VM and/or zLinux.  Besides attending
specific formal classes (read: big buck$), SHARE is actually the best in
quality, quantity and bang for the buck.  I have even heard fellow VMers
that have been doing this stuff for 20+ years say two or three days into
the conference that their head was going to explode from so much
information.   Thank goodness for SCIDS.... err, the "receptions"... so
that we can reset for the next day!

MVMRUG is certainly something to sign up for and attend, especially since
it is free and you can meet contacts around the mid-Ohio area.   If the
training funds are available, SHARE is an excellent choice to get up to
speed on VM & zLinux though and make contacts all around the world.
