Yes, the traditional Interex and DECUS European events, originally scheduled for Madrid, have merged with ENSA and will be held in Munich. There will be VMS content, much like there has been in past Interex/DECUS events (although I won't be there :().

Back to the origin of this thread - Has anyone contacted to Sue to see if there will be BOFs at the bootcamp?

Hello Brad,

I have not yet written to Sue. I hope to collect everything this weekend (i.e. this thread, Aarons DSN thread here, private comments I received and the comments from the Openvms.org survey) and sent this to here as a coherent request.

My current thinking is that we might have two meetings really. One totally informal "meet and greet" just one evening in the bar as a get together of the people who normally just converse via this forum. No involvement from hp should be required for this ;-)

Else there obviously are still things left to be desired from ITRC in its current incarnation. This is the meeting I will ask Sue for support.

Greetings, Martin

[Sue Skonetski · Accepted solution]

We will be doing a BOF on DSNlink

Good news from Sue. I hope the plan is still to have two meetings - an informal on in a bar and a parhaps slightly less informal one (could also be in a bar :-) with some hp representation on the subject of DSNlink

[Martin P.J. Zinser]

Hello Ian,

yes, this is still the plan. But I think we should be able to get the informal bar meeting going without help from hp :-) Obviously whoever from hp wants to join is very welcome to that meeting too.

Greetings, Martin

Someone let me know when...

(I will skip the DSN one - not much I can do there)

Hi,

Sue wanted to do the DSNlink BoF on Mo or We. I suggest as soon as she has fixed the day, we take the other for the informal meeting. For convenience the Granite Bar in the Sheraton is an easy place to meet unless somebody comes up with a better idea.

Maybe VAXman really brings his portable beer keg, than we might also just cluster outside ;-)

Greetings, Martin

I love the informal bar meeting,
if really brings his portable beer.
(i joke naturally)
Happy Day.

Just a remark - probably OT:
As the recommendation for non-US based attendees is to arrive on Saturday - is anything planned for that night? Or is that to be used to get around in the hotel ;-)

I'll be there on Saturday evening - parhaps we can have a practice meeting in a bar :-)

[Willem Grooters]

No problem. Two of a kind in Nashua (or Boston?)

I will be doing the BoF for DSNlink and plan to cover Natural Language Search Assistant and Support Case Manager - Enterprise for previous DSNlink users.

I will be happy to address other topics if I can find out about them quickly.

Additionally I will take feedback from folks in general.

Thanks,

Hi,

We will have the informal get together meet ITRC forums participants BoF tomorrow at 19:00h in the bar of the Tara. I haven't seen Brad at the bootcamp yet, but you are welcome to joing if you want ;-)

The ITRC/DSNlink BoF is still on for Wednesday.
