I’m finalising my BrainShare Barcelona sessions – lots of late breaking data for ZENworks 7.
I’m re-writing the ZENworks Architecture session that was ably presented by Ron Tanner and Ty Ellis in Salt Lake City – hopefully I can get all of the information into an hour! I really want to cover the futures of ZENworks and how Novell is investing in making the transition (note – not migration) easy.
It’s over for another six months or so.
I think everyone has blogged Nats keynote to death (Banana Guards!)
Now the keynotes are over it’s back to the real business of BrainShare – meeting customers and teaching breakout sessions.
I did two sessions today; as well as the ZENworks Customer Appreciation cocktail party.
Novell acquires Tally Systems..
One focus of my life for the last few months – the future ZENworks Asset Management.

Urg. Early mornings. Up early for a 7 am partner breakfast. Roadmap, vision, feedback and comments from our reseller and channel partners.
The most common request – “give us early access to code” – we’re working on it right now.
Also gave my first session of the week – ZENworks Linux Management Best Practices – seems like this is the week of AV problems – one of the video feeds failed on me.
Writing this sitting in the tech lab with Naresh and Jose from the ZLM engineering team – talking about the keynote.
.. Later
It’s almost 9pm – and we’ve hopefully done the final run for the Wednesday Keynote.
The keynote was a success – our demos worked well and my photo even got on the official Novell press kit. We had a minor glitch with the AV feed – the word is that the splitter box power failed. Typical!
Reports have it that the scooter was on one wheel as I cornered – it certainly felt as if I was about to run over a couple of Novell VPs 🙂 Nice to see the photos posted on novell.com
Much of the rest of the day spent giving press interviews – including Dave Kearns – then more preperation and rehearsal for the Wednesday keynote.
