'Campus Hotel' ??. I did not see that on the list. I've sent in my registration and fees already . I have not decided if I'll, drive, ride (motorcycle) or fly to Ohio just yet but have been looking for accommodations. From the 'vmworkshop' website, I see that the Blackwell is the closest but also a bit more expensive. I also found the 'Days Inn Columbus Fairgrounds' being the cheapest. I have not contacted either but . am now curious about the 'Campus Hotel' you've mentioned. Do any / all of these hotel's have smoking rooms ??. Any advise and or direction from people that know the area and or are, currently involved w/VM would be appreciated. I have not touched VM since the early ESA days but now want to learn more about both, VM and z/Linux. Please acknowledge and advise.

Taylor Sent: Friday, June 24, 2011 8:41 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Last Workshop Re: VM Workshop - Session Grid Now Available I didn't know about the Campus Hotel, so thanks for the heads-up. In fact I have a number of questions about the Workshop. Is there someplace I can direct my questions or perhaps a place that has more information? I would like to know what meals are included and also what handicap access there is (parking in particular). I have limited mobility and am unable to walk very far. Steps are a major obstacle, but the Union is new enough that I don't expect that to be a problem.

How are you doing? It's great to hear from you. I'm disappointed that you won't be at the Workshop, but I understand that it would be expensive with the cost of the airfare and housing. Apparently there is no dorm housing as there has been at some Workshops. The registration fee of $100 is quite reasonable, especially because it includes the polo shirt (but not in my giant economy size!) and apparently some meals as well. A good deal, just like the old days.... I think I've been to all the Workshops from the first one at Waterloo through 1989's one at U of Arkansas. I recall Maine, Wichita State, and Michigan State as well as Waterloo and Arkansas. I think there might have been at least one more, but I can't think of it just now. Senior moment, doncha know....
