You never know if it's budget related, market related or politically motivated.

In any case a bummer for the EU folks.

subject: COMMON Europe

There's a small story buried in the IT Jungle e-mail on Monday about COMMON Europe cancelling the June conference. Included is this verbiage:


* IBM has traditionally been our major sponsor, as our events are aimed primarily at users of the POWER platform. However in 2013 there has been a change of IBM policy towards European umbrella user groups and this support has been vastly reduced.
At short notice, the availability of several key speakers from the U.S. has been withdrawn. This would have forced us to dramatically change the structure and the quality of an agenda which has taken many months to compile. In the short time remaining, we feel this simply would not be feasible.


Later in the article is this information:

"four key speakers (who were not identified) from the United States and who were presumably from IBM were withdrawn, and that messed up the agenda."



Most of us can probably guess who those four might be but this doesn't seem like a good thing for the Power platform. Trevor, Allison, Pete, Jim, Dr., Dawn, Jon, Susan, anyone care to shed some light??
