perhaps you can subscribe to the VM Education LVC page updates

Make a note...there are two more LVC's coming up in December:

I received the note below today. By the time I got in to work, the new 

class Linux on System z Performance Update was already over. (I do not 

know what time the class was given. It would not let me enter at 10 am 

PDT.) 

My previous note of change to this page was on 4/17. I don't remember 
seeing the class at that time. Did I miss it, or was it not there?

Is there any other way to be notified about LVC classes?

Thanks!

OK, the subject is very misleading since you're referring to a class 
that occurred in April, not in December!


The class was at 11AM EDT, 8AM PDT on Wednesday.  Pam Christina sent out 
a reminder on Tuesday afternoon.  What more do you need?

I would like to do it in January.  Unfortunately I am being held hostage

To those who asked me about the cold and snow - sorry
I inadvertently left off the y.  Yes, we do indeed have snow
in Endicott, NY - Sunday morning, Monday afternoon, and we awoke
to more overnight. Schools are closed today (Tues).
Not complaining as I have a functional down coat, lots of scarves,
and a 4WD that works fine in the snow. :-)

Now, my question for youwhat other topics for z/VM, z/VSE,
and Linux on System z you like to hear in the LVC format?
It's ok to suggest topics that you don't often hear at
SHARE or at the z Tech conferences, and special interest areas.
