Re: WAVV Re: VM Workshop -- Locations
I concur with Bill. I might have shouted louder by bolding ABSOLUTELY NOT. WAVV has excellent presentations, many IBM presentations are the same and given by the same people that present at SHARE and IBM tech conference. WAVV is not restricted to z/VM and z/LINUX. It also has a third track for z/VSE. See website www.wavv.org WAVV fees are $400 for 3 ½ days of full sessions. Starting Friday evening with SPLASH and finishing Tuesday at noon. I was really hoping to go to the VM workshop this year but the timing, long weekend in CANADA, prevented me. Im looking forward to attend the VM workshop next year, hopefully in June, but I will still be attending WAVV.

Re: WAVV Re: VM Workshop -- Locations
Hello Mike, My problem is that the z/OS people all talk about 'this the way it should be', or 'well, that is not the way it should work'. They live in world at is very constrained compared to z/VM and z/VSE. Oh and the other that gets me is, 'I don't know that option, I never use it'. Been hearing that one a lot.
