Mike,
How old are you that you remember COMMON being only once a year, and
when was that?

Subject: Re: COMMON Focus was: SQL Finding & Using
Where does COMMON and the other conferences post their paid
registration numbers? The trend would be interesting. If the trend was
for more people to come to a conference year after year, it would
certainly indicate increasing popularity, and one could hopefully
derive increasing value. COMMON changing to one big conference a year
changes the counts for this year. btw...I think that's a good thing. I
remember when COMMON was once a year and the conference was huge. Then
it switched to twice a year and attendance dropped - naturally. But it
didn't seem to increase, so I think focusing on one large event and
one small event is good for COMMON. I've never gone to the Tech Conf
or the other conferences. I've attended OCEAN and TUG, and those are
very good IMO.

The Developers bootcamp is not limited to RPG.
I think it is important not to jump to conclusions about Focus taking a
- that is simply uninformed speculation. FYI, bootcamp was added inresponse
to many requests to the education team for that type of class. CertainlyRPG
is a big draw, however that is already included in Focus.For
The abstract for bootcamp is here:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How do I develop applications for the System i? What¹s RPG? What¹s WDSC?

This three-day workshop will introduce the development tools and languageslearn
commonly used to create applications for the platform. Attendees will
to define databases with DDS, automate processes with CL, interact withlearn
databases through SQL, and write complex RPG Programs. Attendees will

security. As key technologies for use by a developer, the client based
development tools, WebSphere Development Studio Client, will be used as
basis for most discussion and demonstration. There will be a briefoverview
of the older tools such as PDM, SEU and SDA that are used in somepresented
development shops.
To ensure the best student learning environment, this workshop is

Pete,
It's COMMON Focus - not COMMON as we knew it. The fall is day long
canversus multiple sessions. It's a whole different ball game. Only you
RPGanswer if the iNav full day lab on Tuesday beats the other events on
Tuesday.

I see they recently added the Developer's bootcamp. Sounds good. I
suspect without this genre that Focus was taking a hit. I think that
listcourses are still the biggest draws at COMMON and the me too's.
