Any one that is interested in running Oracle on "Z", the conference
will
be held in 3 weeks: "http://www.zseriesoraclesig.org/";.
As part of the very low cost, there are added workshops included in
the
price. If interested in Linux and z/VM Performance as well as Oracle,
this would be a perfect opportunity.
