[colug-432] VM and Linux Workshop - University of Kentucky

[Rick Troth]

friends --

As mentioned previously ...
This year's "VM and Linux Workshop" is happening
June 28 (Thu) through 30 (Sat) at the University of Kentucky in Lexington.

To be clear, the focus is mainframe virtualization and Linux.
If you are working with z/VM or with "Linux on System z", this
conference is for you!

It has been called "150 system programmers with limited adult supervision".
The price is right, $100, and if you register by June 1st, you get a VERY NICE
UK polo shirt with the workshop logo.  Accommodations run the full spectrum
from area hotels to staying in campus dorms.  This is a very cool event.

Linux has been making in-roads to the company mainframe(s) for a decade.
This conference is for Unix/Linux people who need help with mainframe HW.
This conference is for old mainframers who need help with Linux.

z/VM is where virtualization started.  (There will be one or two
history sessions.)
This conference is for newcomers who need help using and learning z/VM.
This conference is for mainframe VMers to hone their craft.
2012 marks the 40th anniversary of VM as a software product.

We are also planning to hold a PGP key signing party.

The agenda is still being hammered out.
An early draft is on-line at the conference web site,

Y'all come!
