RE: suggestion for COMMON education delivery

Hi Paul,

I'm not certain, but I believe Skip was paid a percentage of the class
fees collected ($295 was the class cost to PMSA members and COMMON,
PMSA, and Skip took a percentage each).

Our training coordinator here at REI thought this was a great deal.
Obviously, a lot of other companies did too!

Glenn

   Glenn,
    
   Just a question. Who picked up the tab for Skip? PMSA or COMMON?

     Jim -

     We (PMSA, the LUG in the Seattle area) were very happy with the
results
     of our partnership with COMMON in November 2005 when we sponsored
an all
     day class in place of our normal session.  The COMMON iSeries
education
     "All You Need to Know About SQL", presented by Mr. Skip Marchesani,
was
     one of our better attended sessions and I believe our LUG had more
     people turn out than any other.  

     Based on the feedback, this appears to be a great way to get a more
     in-depth educational experience to our members.  We've even talked
about
     multi-day classes or trying to find resources for a 'lab' type of
class.
     This way the education comes to us and people will find attending a
     local one or two day class cheaper and easier to fit into their
     schedules.

     So, keep the ideas coming.  We in the Seattle area look forward to
more
     of these types of educational opportunities.

     Folks:

     While it is true that COMMON is looking to find more, better ways
to
     deliver educational content, we are furiously planning  Fall 2006
and
     Spring 2007 already.  The message here is, we are looking for more
     better
     ways to deliver what you are asking from COMMON.  Not every one can
go
     to
     a conference every year, much less two of them, so we have to find
a way

     to reach those folks too!  COMMON is here to stay, and will
continue to
     deliver educational content not only in some of the traditional
ways,
     but
     also in new exciting ways.  Stay tuned.......

     In the mean time, why not come to Minneapolis and see what great
stuff
     there will be!  If you check out the grid, the V5R4 content
sessions
     will
     have a watermark showing that so you can get the best information
right
     from the folks out of Rochester!  Most of the business partners
that
     have
     been involved with the beta program have already updated their
material
     as
     well.
