Responding to Vern's note on the Labs. I provide the server and setup of that for the conference. I spoke to most of the lab presenters and interest in labs was Excellent at this conference. One of the labs had folks outside in the hallway sitting on the couches doing the lab!

You know that Power Systems are tough when the server rack which is (er, WAS) bolted to a 4x4 pallet with 6 IBM Rack Casters under it had it's pallet completely ripped off and discarded. That had to be a serious impact to shred that! Yet everything in side was undamaged and ran perfectly. :-)

Hi Brad

I can speak as both an attendee and a speaker. In addition, as a member
of CAAC, I benefit from hearing some of the material from IBM throughout
the year.

1 of my sessions was full - the one on creating XLSX files. And the lab
for it was almost full.

Open labs were well used, I was told, so people wanted to try out what
they learned.

I went to a session on node.js and finally think I have an idea of what
it could be used for.

I went to a session on the new samba support and, again, feel I have a
better handle on it.

Then a surprise about XML shredding - something I'd missed completely
when working with XML-INTO instead of trying to master the XML support
in SQL a couple years ago.

So for me, the new technologies were there and something I can use. I
think there was strong interest in the new stuff and living in a world
of disparate operating systems.

What topics where hot?  What were not?

What did you learn and bring back to your shop?

What did you wish would have been covered, and what was covered that you
thought didn't need to be (and why?)

What will you implement and what won't you implement?... and what you you
WISH you could implement, but can't?
