COBOL and COMMON

Greeting fellow COBOL coders;


When I went to COMMON last week (or was it longer ago than that!?!) in New 
Orleans I found a distinct lack of COBOL sessions.  I was wondering if 
any  COBOL programmers went/go to COMMON, and what kind of sessions dealing 
with our choice of language (forced or not) you would like to see and would 
attend.  I would like to present some courses, but don't know where to 
start.  I have enjoyed the Latest and Greatest in ILE COBOL that Jon Paris 
has done in the past, and believe that this could be expanded on.

I don't want to spend time on a session that no one wants to 
attend.  Please post here any session ideas or frustrations you have with 
COBOL and I will see what I can to for next spring.  If we can get going 
really well, I may be able to get the company to send me every conference 
as a speaker.

Also post why you don't attend COMMON and where you find your training.
