As SHARE attendance increased, the number of cities where it would fit dwindled. I believe there was indeed a Task Force on Growth (TFOG) which considered constraining attendance. Based on the attendance trend (from 6000 down to 1000 or so) since TFOG was chartered, this was clearly one of SHARE's more successful initiatives.
[Yes, joking. Though planning to constrain mainframe conference attendance just as the mainframe ere was ending does reflect a cloudy or at least smudged crystal ball.] Anne & Lynn Wheeler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: i remember several shares being regularly on the order of 5000 and comments about the size limiting the locations available for the meetings. then there were a couple combined guide/share meetings that were a little larger (maybe around 6000?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
