COBOL and COMMON

[Jim Essinger <esinger@xxxxxxxx>]

Greeting fellow COBOL coders;


When I went to COMMON last week (or was it longer ago than that!?!) in
New Orleans I found a distinct lack of COBOL sessions.  I was
wondering if any  COBOL programmers went/go to COMMON, and what kind
of sessions dealing with our choice of language (forced or not) you would
like to see and would attend.  I would like to present some courses,
but don't know where to start.  I have enjoyed the Latest and
Greatest in ILE COBOL that Jon Paris has done in the past, and believe
that this could be expanded on.  

I don't want to spend time on a session that no one wants to
attend.  Please post here any session ideas or frustrations you have
with COBOL and I will see what I can to for next spring.  If we can
get going really well, I may be able to get the company to send me every
conference as a speaker.

Also post why you don't attend COMMON and where you find your
training.
