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

Oh, and another thing, there's more than just the labs and regularsessions. There are full-day workshops on various topics. These docost extra. I think Jon and/or Susan are giving one and Paul is givingone on SQL. I signed up for the SQL thing, Paul, but had to cancel outof the whole conference. Maybe next time.

Subject: Re: Question about COMMON Sessions and Labs
Jen,
"Open Labs" are just that - open to all (as long as room permits,which is usually not a problem).
Plain ol' "Labs" require a reservation. You can, of course, show upfor those and wait to see if a seat opens up (or all of the seatsaren't reserved), but I wouldn't suggest it.
Except for the "Labs" everything is pretty much open as long asthere's room (and oftentimes people wind up stranding along the walls- SRO).If you're looking for ILE RPG sessions, Jon Paris and Susan Gantnerhave a great running series of sessions. Paul Tuohy, also, has somegreat tips and techniques sessions on the subject (just be sure tonot sit on the front row).
Try this email address for some help contacting a mentor:jason_logsdon@xxxxxxxxxx . Jason's usually on top of things. Andtell him about the busted link (bounce back).

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,
