To those of you who z/VM'ers and LoZ'ers attending SHARE in Orlando next week, but who have not yet volunteered to chair any sessions: chairing is a huge help to the all-volunteer members who pull these terrific SHARE conferences together. Those volunteers are run pretty ragged during the week and could really use your help, your expertise on the session's subject matter does not matter - if you are attending a session, you qualify to act as a session chair!
Chairing sessions is really quite simple, and there's even a brief session on Sunday evening explaining that simple process. Being able to stand in front of a friendly crowd to introduce the speaker, and being able to count as high as the total number of people in the room at the start of, and mid-way through the session is pretty much all that's required. You are permitted to count on your fingers, and for larger sessions, even use your toes!. :) Chairing affords you the opportunity to form personal relationships with some of the z/VM, Linux on System z, and SHARE-leadership shakers and movers. A pretty nice payback for a very simple task. Mike Walter Aon Corporation The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.
