Well I don't know specifics but as a COMMON Attendee I Love it when IBM talks about new stuff at our conferences. We have a history of hearing new things at COMMON why should it be any different this year?

When I look at the session guide that is publicly available for the upcoming COMMON Annual Conference and Expo I find such things as:

Steve Will: "The Latest IBM i Announcements."
Note that this is at 7:15 AM Over Breakfast!!
Steve Will: "IBM i Next Overview."

Tim Row: Overview of the Apache Server Latest Updates"

Mark Olson" "Hardware Session 1" (and 2 and 3)

Alison Butterill: "IBM i in a Modern World"
Alison Butterill: "TBA Alison Butterill Session"

And there are more but the key to me is these as yet unnamed sessions. If they were going to talk about stuff we've already heard wouldn't they name them that? And post abstracts? Hmmmmmmmmmm?

Just sayin....
