I guess the best 'rejection letter' you can possibly get is the accepted list coming out and not being able to find yourself anywhere on there.
Looking through the sessions, I see there are 120 sessions total. 46 are 'Remedy' related, that's ITSM or ROD (38%) in some way or another. Of those only 12 are not being done by BMCers (10%). 4 of those are listed as 'Technical' (3%). All 4 of them are directly related to ITSM (3 SRM, 1 CMDB). Nothing that's directly related to Remedy as a development platform, but as a platform to sell their OOTB tools....part of me is disappointed, but not surprised. Both of the topics I submitted were of a technical nature, relating to Remedy, not ITSM...so, I guess that's likely why neither topic was selected for presentation.... and due due to the fact that I was counting on not paying the admission fees, I'm not going to be able to justify the expense to attend this year...so...maybe I'll do them anyway, but post them on my site instead so everyone can benefit instead of just the ones that attend Engage...who knows.
