Subject: COMMON Event V6R1 and the people around it

Today i've attended my first COMMON event in Switzerland.

Namely this one: http://www.common.ch/index.php?id=207

Either way, my impressions:

* I was the only one under 40 (with the exception of the catering personnel)
* There were no parking spaces available. Never had that happen at an MS
Event
* Jeans+T-Shirt doesn't seem to be the usual attire for IBM technical events

The presentation itself was interesting. Looks like there are going to
be quite a few very good improvements in V6R1 - iSeries Navigator is
replaced by a Web-Based interface, and I/O Virtualization allows you
to use i5/OS partitions without a seperate disk controller for each
partition. Also, there'll be one more option to manage partitions -
this option is also the only way to manage i5/OS on blades.

All in all, the improvements in V6R1 seem nice. The speaker Kurt Rump
was also very good.

I chuckled a bit when he talked about all the "new" technology that
will be in the new Power6 machines. SAS, PCI-E, an Infiniband
derivation to replace HSL, etc. pp.

Unfortunately, i didn't get to see the Frank Soltis, because i was
interrupted with a critical problem at a customer (Yes, it was i5/OS
related ;).
