 | Thank you to those of you who responded so quickly. Keep on sending.
 | Also, see clarification for Question 1 below.
 | With the initial wording, I didn't mean to imply that the courses
 | would need to be held near or at the Tech Conference,etc. or
 | even at the same time. Sorry for the confusion.

Hello,

Please help us to understand your education needs (and those of your
staff) by providing your input and guidance.

For starters, these are the newly-updated VM course offerings from IBM.
- Installing, Configuring and Servicing z/VM for Linux Guests (ZV060)
- z/VM & Linux Connectivity & Management (ZV100)

 |1) Will your VM education needs be met through these courses
 |   and/or the IBM zSeries Tech conference or SHARE or GSE?

   What about the VM needs of your staff members?


2) Please tell us the additional z/VM and Linux on VM related
   topics for which you need in-depth  education?

3) Any comments on the delivery method (formal classes, online),
   location, and cost?

4) Do you have (or plan to have) new-to VM staff who will need
   the CP/CMS basics?


Please respond via way that is most comfortable for you.
 -  directly to me
 -  or VM web feedback: http://www.vm.ibm.com/forms/feedback.html
 -  or here on the listserv if you don't mind sharing the information
 and/or encouraging discussion on this topic.


 I will share your responses with my colleagues in IBM Learning Services
 for consideration in educational offerings and course development, and
 also I will keep them in mind when assembling the agenda
 for the 2003 zSeries Technical Conferences.

We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Pam C

Re: Mainframe skill shortage

2002-07-30 Thread Pamela Christina IBM z/VM - Endicott NY

(let me try this again, I thought I sent this last week, but didn't
see it hit the archives page. apologies if you see it twice.)


Here's the web site for the IBM S/390 University program
which has a brochure about the program and a Contact Form.

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/education/university/

It appears that S/390 University program is included with
the IBM Scholarships program
htttp://www-3.ibm.com/software/info/university/

In any case, if you need information about the programs,
those are the sites with places to inquire.


And, those wanting to raise your skill levels,
consider attending one or more of the user groups, seminars,
and tech conferences offered this year.
For starters, check the worldwide VM events calendar
http://ibm.com/eserver/zseries/zvm/events/

I appreciate your telling me of other z/VM and Linux on zSeries
related events that should be included.  Thanks.

Regards,
PLC

 Subject:  Re: zSeries Technical Conference featuring z/OS, z/VM, and Linux
Hello,

I responded to a note that Bob sent to me directly.
(I read LINUX-390 in a daily roll-up).


Yes, there will be transportation (buses) for the delegates
between the hotels and IBM conference center (morning & evening).


Also, someone inquired about meals.   Lunches are provided
as part of the conference Tues, Wed, and Thurs.
(There may also be a conference dinner and possibly an
 evening reception, but I don't have the specifics on that yet.)
