RE: Fall COMMON conference focus

Are we supposed to do something about this for you?  Sounds like you're
upset with COMMON, as this really didn't answer any of the original
poster's question - just sounded like a rant about scheduling.  Perhaps
contacting them directly would be of more benefit.

To lend assistance to the original question, although COMMON may have a
"focus," it's not meaning that all the topics will cover that particular
category.  In my experience, all the other stuff and all the vendors
will be there - you just check the schedule o' events and classes to
make absolutely sure of things you like.  I know every time I've gone,
focus or not, there's always been waaaay to much scheduled and not
enough time to go to it!  Definitely a value.

Given the theme of this conference, none of my backup/recovery/disaster
sessions were scheduled, which makes about as much sense as a screen
door in a submarine.  I had one introductory session scheduled for
Monday, another on save-while-active for Tuesday, but nothing on
Wednesday  I may just not show up, get my one day free pass for Sunday
to get my award for my session scheduled for Thursday, and skip the
remainder of my sessions.
That would mean that the award winning session would be skipped.

I noticed that the fall conference has an "Educational Focus on Disaster
Recovery".  Does this imply that if I'm not interested in D.R. as much
as other areas, I should avoid the conference?  I'm guessing not, mainly
because the fall conference isn't subtitled "Disaster Recovery", but
there is a non-emphasized link on the fall conference page that points
to the D.R.
page.  (Of all the sub-topics, the one I *would* be interested in is the
Application Design.)

Has the educational focus for the Spring '07 conference been determined
yet?

TIA,
Dan
