RE: A user/admin asks if COMMON is worth it

Nope. That would be at CUDS 2. S/38 and S/36 conversations are at CUDS 3.

It depends on who is paying, me or the boss. Right now money is too
tight
at home and I feel that splurging is buying my own gas to go to the
local
user group meetings. This year the boss won't fork out the money for
COMMON. Heck, he was supposed to go to Lotusphere for the first time
anyone's ever gone from here (and Lotus is real big here). Forfeited
the
week prior and got back what money he could. Just too tight this year.

But normally I could tell you things that I put to use right after the
conference that covered the expense.

Our first network was drawn up on a bar napkin at CUDS (now called
iSocial
or some such thing).

COMMON and the IBM Power technical conference rank up there at the tops.
I
feel that many of the others are pretty locations wrapped up in a
conference to justify the expense to work.
