BrainShare 2009

by | Dec 17, 2008 | evilzenscientist, Uncategorized

Looks like BrainShare 2009 has been cancelled.

 

Dear Novell Customers and Partners,

This note is to inform you that Novell will not be holding its annual BrainShare conference in Salt Lake City, Utah that was scheduled for March 2009.

…

Over the coming months, we will continue to focus on building the high-quality training and enablement offerings you have come to expect from us. We will do this through online classes, virtual conferences and local tours. These new approaches will allow everyone to participate in our education and training—without incurring the high cost of travel that, at least for now, is an issue for many of you.

…

Thank you for your continued support and confidence.

John Dragoon

After speaking at nine BrainShares in SLC and working on half a dozen keynotes I’ve got a particular attachment to the event. Personally I hope this isn’t the end of BrainShare for good.

Arg! Technet vs. MSDN

by | Dec 12, 2008 | evilzenscientist, Uncategorized

I keep forgetting that my subscription switched from Microsoft TechNet to MSDN when I changed companies.

I habitually go to TechNet and then see that I’ve no permissions to download ISOs and get licenses; then I slap my forehead and log in to MSDN.
