Re: COMMON information

   The early bird gets the worm.  :)  Yeah, you are right there were so many
   people who wanted to take the workshops last spring, and there is a limit
   on the number of people who can take the Sunday fullday workshops this
   year as well, the good thing is that there are now 5 to choose from, so
   that we can accommodate more people in total. It is another good reason to
   register early, in addition to saving $200.  I know it was discussed
   running the Linux workshop again, and the Conference Education Team (CET)
   decided that they wanted all the workshops for this conference to deal
   with the theme of Enterprise modernization, so the topics are Modernizing
   RPG Applications by Paul Tuohy, Enterprise Modernization Using the IBM
   Toronto Tools  by the IBM Toronto Lab Team, Moving to the Web with RPG by
   Bob Cozzi, Java Web Workshop by Jim Mason, and WebSphere Portal Server by
   Astech.  I know that there are many members of the CET who are on M-L, so
   I am sure they will see your comments and hopefully we will be offering it
   again.  

   I think the workshops are a great way to get some in-depth learning about
   a subject, and glad to see COMMON offering them. I know from the surveys
   of those who attended the last bolt-ons (full day pre conference
   workshops) they were extremely satisfied.  There are a lot of new and
   interesting things happening at and within COMMON right now, and everyone
   will be hearing about them in the next few months.  So stay tuned.

 I thought I would pass this on, as nothing better then keeping a few
    

 dollars in your pocket, and making a great value even better by registering
 for the COMMON conference before the Early bird deadline.
  

 COMMON is extending the Early Bird deadline for the Toronto conference to
    

 next Tuesday, September 28. That gives you a few more days to get in "under
 the wire" and save $200 US.
  

 Register online at www.common.org. Please let your user group members
    

 know:
  

 Now some blatant advertising.

 If you're planning to attend COMMON's Fall 2004 Conference in Toronto,
    

 consider signing up for one of the pre-conference workshops offered the
 weekend before the conference. (And keep in mind that if you register for a
 workshop, you need to plan your travel and hotel stay accordingly!)
  

 The workshops, designed as part of the conference's focus on Enterprise
    

 Application Modernization, include:
  

 "Modernizing RPG Applications" - presented by Paul Tuohy at the IBM
    

 Research Lab Theater in Markham
  

 "Enterprise Modernization Using the IBM Toronto Tools" - a lab presented
    

 by the IBM Toronto Lab Team at the IBM Research Lab Room in Markham
  

 "Moving to the Web with RPG" - presented by Bob Cozzi

 "Java Web Workshops" - a lab presented by Jim Mason

 "WebSphere Portal Server" - a lab presented by Astech


 There are still seats available in each workshop, but space is limited,
    

 and registrations will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
 Lecture workshops cost $295 and labs cost $395. You can register for
  

 workshops when you sign up for the conference. Descriptions and other
    

 details are available at www.common.org/workshops.html
