Richard,

I don't think it is a matter of being invited back or not, but each conference when the call for presentations go out, you would need to resubmit your sessions.

Hopefully this coming year when the call is announced, you will submit some. In addition, I will try to remember to cross post the call for presentations to ML so that everyone is aware of it.

Pete

Uh, been there done that. Do you attend COMMON ? :)

Did a well attended lab in 2007. Never invited back. Apparently not enough demand. .

Did a VB session and a session for natively running Visual Studio apps on i. Got cut :)

I was invited to help select web content for COMMON and OK my fault for being a bit too busy to attend meetings.

Maybe I'm just too boring. Nah, that can't be it :)

I'm happy to provide .Net content for IBM i, but why would I provide advanced content when even the basic stuff gets cut ?

My main job is running a software company. My time is worth more than that.

I don't care if it's me teaching the content, but COMMON members need to get off their duffs and start requesting more .Net if they want guys like me to teach content.

Either way I'll stay busy and continue to be vocal about COMMON and others providing .Net content for IBM i.

Peace Out, Brother :)

Richard,

How about developing some sessions and delivering them for COMMON? One of the biggest challenges the COMMON SME team faces is finding qualified individuals to build and deliver content. So.... "self-described expert in my own mind", by the way I'm sure most of us agree your one of the industry experts in this realm, how about a go at doing it? I'm sure if there there was sufficient content to present they would do another focus on .Net and IBM i.
