Re: Question about COMMON Sessions and Labs -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi Jen,

An "Open Lab" relates to a number of sessions and you can walk in/out andselect which labs you want to do.


A Lab requires that you register (there is no extra payment <g>).

I would try e-mailing for a mentor again - it should not have bounced ( aserver may have been down).

Have a looke at the FERs (Focused Education Roadmaps) on the Grids - thesusually highlight the sessions you may want to attend before trying one ofthe Labs.

Ensure you attend the First Timers session on Sunday. The workings, acronysmetc. will all be explained there.

Have fun, talk to lots of people, attend CUDs, make lots of friends - andtry to learn a little <g>.


HTH

Paul

Subject: Question about COMMON Sessions and Labs

(If this isnt the appropriate place, please tell me
where it should go (and I will subscribe to that list
as well))

First of all, a caveat: I tried emailing for a mentor
using the link on the first timers page and the email
bounced saying it was an invalid address.

I am trying to weed out what I want to attend while I
am at COMMON. After reading the grids, I am wondering
if perhaps I have erred in not signing up for any
Hands On Labs. I see "Open Lab"s and "Lab"s on the
grids. Are Open Labs available for people to pop in on
and listen and the Labs are the paid ones?

I printed off the grids and am highlighting what I
would like to attend...but a small part of me is
unsure what is allowed and not. I do know I wont be
barging in on the IBM Certification testing. But there
are some Java, Javascript and Websphere things I am
interested in (and I think on Tuesday or Wednesday,
the dreaded LAB word begins appearing.)

OR should I just highlight what I am interested in and
wait until I can actually find a mentor when I check
into the hotel?

Thanking you AS/400 Gods and Goddesses in Advance,
