> My point is that why put strangers on SHARE VM and Linux presentation cover?
Each speaker at SHARE spends their own volunteer time preparing the presentations made at SHARE (except for the vendors, who often do it as part of their job). Most of the speakers work for member companies, many (usually larger, or vendor) companies have their own standard presentation templates that are required for all presentations by their employees. Notice that many, if not all, of IBM speaker presentations have the same IBM powerpoint template. SHARE provides all speakers with a different SHARE powerpoint template for each conference. What you saw on Mark Post's presentation was the SHARE powerpoint template for Denver. SHARE in Seattle may not have people pictured. I don't speak for the SHARE board, but you do bring up an interesting idea of having a separate SHARE powerpoint template for each Program or Project, with that template containing rogues gallery of that area's SHARE ribbon-wearers. The effort to make that happen would probably not be worth the effort, reduces the "single face" for all of SHARE, and some may not want their image emblazoned on a presentation for which they had no input (or possibly for a competing company!) . Still, there were 5 faces on that template, none of whom I recall ever seeing at SHARE. One of them even looks a little like a model for a medicinal supplement - but that's just my humble opinion. :-) Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's. sunny...@wcb.ab.ca Sent by: "The IBM z/VM Operating System" <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> 09/11/2009 01:35 PM Please respond to "The IBM z/VM Operating System" <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject Re: Denver SHARE Presentations on linuxvm.org Rob, you are there too ! My point is that why put strangers on SHARE VM and Linux presentation cover? Maybe we should put something which can really present zlinux image.
