Re: Last Workshop Re: VM Workshop - Session Grid Now Available
Bill, may I suggest trying to get a group rate for whatever motel that you decide on? You can then encourage everyone to stay there to increase their opportunities to interact with each other. When I went to my first few workshops I stayed in motels since GM was paying for it. In those days the cheapest housing was in the dorms, but I saw no need to stay there. But I eventually realized that many of the sharper folks stayed in the dorms even though their employers would have paid for a motel. The big reason? The bull sessions that went on until early morning. So I wised up and began staying in the dorms, too. With all due respect to the sessions and to the people who speak, I found that much of the really valuable info I got was from informal discussions at meals, breaks, and evening bull sessions as much as at the sessions. BTW, I haven't seen information about where and when we register, get our name tags and polo shirts, etc, Also, I didn't see any info on when and where meals and snacks are available versus when we are on our own. Thanks, Bill. I presume the whole crew of volunteers are getting pretty frazzled as the Workshop start gets closer.

Two of the largest global hotel companies are VM customers (us and Marriott). I am going to try to attend. Check out the attached link for some of our lowest rates, about 25% less than lowest published. Only a small percentage of inventory is held for these rates, so hop on it, and beware, they are non-refundable.

Re: Last Workshop Re: VM Workshop - Session Grid Now Available
How did you request a 3XL, Bill? The biggest choice offered in the pull-down was 2XL I registered yesterday, so I can't do it in my registration. I'll also send a copy of this post directly to Len Diegel in hopes he will see it in time and can accommodate me. Len, if possible I'd like a 4XL shirt or at least a 3XL. A generous 3XL would fit but many times shirts used for imprinting are skimpy on their sizes. Thank you for whatever you can do to help. BTW, I requested a 2XL when I registered because that was the largest size offered. If there is a surcharge for the larger size, I'll happily pay it [presuming it's not really outrageous, in which case maybe not so happily].

Re: Last Workshop Re: VM Workshop - Session Grid Now Available
Sir, Pardon me . '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.

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.

I'd probably be as bumfuzzled at the Workshop sessions as I was at the first Share I attended before I had even installed VM in our shop at GM.

Hi Mongo, long time since I heard from you. I would like to come myself, but noone will pay the airfare or the tuition, and my wife can't handle our dogs without me. -- Rich Greenberg Sarasota, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 941 378 2097 Eastern time.
