SHARE in San Jose is now a little more than 3 weeks away. There are still plenty of sessions that are in need of chairs.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to meet the speaker (if you haven't already), introduce the speaker to the audience, keep discussions on topic (unlike IBM-MAIN), count attendees, keep time for the speaker (because frankly some of them are time challenged) and most important to the welfare of the program: collect the prized session evaluation slips and return them to headquarters (or a designated drop off location near you).

Your reward as a session chair will be the satisfaction of helping out at SHARE and the admiration of your fellow attendees, which really is worth it's weight in gold pressed latinum.

Following is the list of the remaining unchaired sessions for the Linux and VM program by day and time (please watch the wrap). Feel free to respond to me with the session number that you wish to chair. Responses will be accepted on a first come, first chaired basis.
