I'm sure most of you are used to this by now. It is about a month until the next SHARE meeting, in Baltimore, MD. So, it is time for the Linux and VM Program at SHARE to ask for volunteers to chair the many great sessions we are putting on at the conference. Chairing a session is easy, no heavy lifting involved. It is a great way to get involved at SHARE without having to make a major committment. SHARE is almost entirely a volunteer organization. So, even a small contribution such as chairing a session or two is very important.
If you are planning on attending the upcoming SHARE and are going to some of the Linux and VM program sessions, please volunteer to chair. You are guarenteed the best seat in the room! Below is the list of sessions that are currently in need of session chairs. Please email me, OFF LIST PLEASE, with the sessions you want. I'll send you all the info you need at that time. Thanks, and hope to see you in Baltimore!
