HPWORLD 2003

[Berlene Herren]

Start packing!

Since it's in my hometown, I'll see you there :-)

Hi Berlene,

I hope to be out there in Hot-lanta for the show. I can't talk to my boss yet since Interex hasn't released the registration information and costs yet though.

[John Payne_2]

I was sure I was going until 3 days ago, when the school decided to severally scale back all travel for employees. (I am scheduled for a trip in 10 days that I am not sure that I am going to...) All travel has to be approved by the CIO, and they are only allowing travel that is manditory. (The travel restrictions may lift if the war ends, hopefully things will quiet down by August.)

OK, I am the HPUX guy for over 50 HPUX machines, 10.20, 11.0 and 11i, with a demo itanium machine onsite. I have to look up Clay's post for last year about HP World to get the justification statement right.

John,

Here's Clay's post:

Berlene,

I'm planning on going. We'll see if the company is planning on sending me. ;^)


Pete

[Steven E. Protter]

Planning on going, though the expense squeeze is on.

[John Poff]

Hi,

I'm planning on being there, whether my company sends me or not.

JP

[John Bolene]

Not going again.

I have to learn something with the letters AX and I in it. Have to buy my own training manuals, amazon.com here I come. If I can't get the company to even buy any training manuals, how am I supposed to get money for other purposes.

[Bill Hassell]

Yep, I'll be there too and not just because it's my home town. I'll be teaching an all day sysadmin course the weekend before HP World starts and will have a couple of presentations during the week too. (Don't tell your management but Atlanta is a party town too!)

[Ron Cornwell]

Hope to be able to go. Training and conference money is very tight this year.

[Michael Elleby III_1]

I'm kinda like John B. I'm responsible for over 30 servers, and I can't even get the company to send me to an HP Training Class much less go to the show..

However, I'm trying to do it on my own...

Mike E.

[Rita C Workman]

Hey Berlene,

As soon as they post the registration and hotel information...I'm writing my travel request !


Rgrds,
Rita

[Ken Hubnik_2]

Registration has begun .......anybody register yet???

[Pete Randall]

Yep!

Signed, sealed and delivered.



Pete

[Steven E. Protter]

We have a freeze on our travel budget right now.

As it stands now, in spite of my desire to meet many of you, I probably won't be there.

I wish I'd prepared a paper or lecture or something. I could do a great course on HP-UX and Oracles Internet Application Server.

SEP

[John Payne_2]

Looks like I'll be there. They accepted my presentation for HP World (come and heckle if you want...) and the wheels of the travel secretary are now moving...

Also, last week they got someone to start helping me! Mircles are alive and well here...

John

[Ross Zubritski]

Well, I had planned to be there until I heard Pete was showing up :(

RZ

[Berlene Herren]

Come one, come all, heed HP World's call,
Fly in, drive in, we will accomodate all

Sit in some seats, and soak up some learning,
Nightlife in Buckhead, Atlanta's not burning.

Greet old friends, while making some new,
heads will be burstin' long 'fore you're through

Start off with Bill as he leads the camp,
continue with Tyler, you'll be a NNM champ.

Let Chris Wong woo you, Our security guru,
or step inside let us performance tune you

Bastille locks you down, while Serviceguard switches,
NFS performance, I saw those flinches

Some may like linux, some MPE,
whatever your likes, we got it, you see?

So come one, come all, heed the HP World Call,
I'll be there to greet you, we'll have a ball!

Berlene

[Berlene Herren]

Who else is a poet and didn't know it?

Berlene

[Ross Zubritski]

You are the only poet here ;)~~~~

RZ

[Pete Randall]

I don't know RZ, JP has come up with a couple of pretty good ones - now where were those????


Pete

[Ross Zubritski]

Pete,

I know, however, JP's poems usually include farm animals. This is a rated "G" Forum...... DOH.

RZ

[John Payne_2]

Steven,

They are giving some pretty steep discounts for 'those who hold certs.' Could you justify if the price was cut by better than half?

(Our travel policies are very restrictive right now also, but this is the only useful thing for me to go to every year...)

Hope it helps

John

[Ron Irving]

I tried to get my 'former' employer to send me, but NO!! So, I quit!! (Hope that taught him a lesson!) My current company has not said 'no' yet...who knows? I may get there yet!

[John Poff · Accepted solution]

Hi,

Did I hear my name?

There is a fine woman named Berlene
From whose wonderful postings we glean
The updates we all need
To get our boxes up to speed
And keep them running lean and mean!

JP

P.S. I'm still planning on going to HP World, and I'm
looking forward to meeting lots
of fantastic people.

[malay boy]

Come everybody explore APAC...

Just some thought
