The Linux and VM Program at SHARE is looking for some good stories. In particular, we are looking for people who can talk about their experiences implementing and running large, critical applications on Linux on System z, either with or without z/VM.
At the recent conference in Boston, LVM sponsored a day dedicated to discussing experiences using Oracle under Linux on System z and it was very well received. So, at the next conference (Anaheim CA 2/27-3/4/11), we would like to continue that topic, plus have presentations on other large applications such as SAP, WAS and Cognos. Other suggestions are also welcome. So, if you have a story to tell, we bet that there are others who would like to hear it. Speaking at SHARE is a rewarding experience, not intimidating at all. The members of the LVM Program team will help you through it. We are currently starting our scheduling process for the Anaheim conference. The "call for presentations" is open at http://www.share.org. Please submit your proposal via the web site. If you want to discuss it with someone before creating a proposal, please contact me off-list and I'll be happy to help. Martha McConaghy LVM Program Manager
