Re: New COMMON Conference

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard does submit a .NET session...   And I'm pretty sure we've 
included on the agenda at least once, probably even a few times.  (Am I 
mistaken?)

The problem we (the SME team) have with .NET content is that there's not 
much of it (Richard and I think one or two submissions is all we get), 
and we don't see as much demand for .NET at COMMON vs. other similar 
offerings like PHP or Java.

We try our best to mix the content so that it matches (roughly) the 
topics that attendees are looking for.

We're certainly interested in hearing your comments, if you think we're 
not providing enough.  We'd be happy to find ways to improve... but 
please understand that we can't give every single session that's 
submitted (there are too many sessions, and not enough session slots.) 
So we, unfortunately, have to eliminate sessions sometimes.
