• VMS Boot Camp Announced Ocr23-25, 2024

    From John H. Reinhardt@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 10 09:41:18 2024
    I got an email today from VSI announcing a new OpenVMS Boot Camp this fall.

    Dear Customers and Partners,



    We are excited to announce the upcoming VMS Software Bootcamp, scheduled to take place in Boston from October 23-25, 2024. This event will bring together the VMS community to share knowledge, discuss future plans, and explore tips and tricks in the
    world of VMS.



    The Bootcamp will feature multiple tracks, including business, programming, and system management. Each track will offer several presentations and workshops designed to cater to different levels of expertise. We are also considering full-time onsite
    VMS training, provided there is sufficient interest, and the revival of some beloved traditions such as the Birds of a Feather sessions and the story contest.



    More detailed information and sign-up forms will be shared once we have an agreement with the venue. For now, please mark these dates in your calendar and stay tuned for further updates.



    If you have any questions or suggestions please do not hesitate to contact us at info@vmssoftware.com.



    We look forward to seeing you at the Bootcamp!



    Best regards,

    VMS Software, Inc.

    Hmmm, the week before the US election. Make sure to take your riot
    protection gear with you... :-)

    On a more positive note, it will be interesting to watch the recordings
    of the sessions which take place.

    Simon.

    Two weeks before.

    And I really don't see any reason to expect riots in Boston that week or
    two weeks later.

    But maybe bring brown bags. To have something to vomit in - in case
    one turn on a TV and get to see political ads.

    Recent history on both sides of the political spectrum in the US does not exactly fill me with confidence in this area.

    But maybe bring brown bags. To have something to vomit in - in case
    one turn on a TV and get to see political ads.


    Now _that_ I agree with. :-)

    Given that Massachusetts (and Boston, specifically) are solidly in the Biden camp,
    I suspect there won't be a lot of ads airing near the election.

    Both sides will be spending their advertising money in the six states where the election
    is actually up for grabs.

    I suspect they will find a few dollars for the strong leaning
    states as well.

    The Rhode Island airwaves are already full of ads for the presidential candidate raised in Massachusetts. :-)

    But even if ads for US president will be limited, then you still have
    US congress and all the local elections. Healey is not up, but state
    house & senate, mayors, city councils, school councils etc.etc..

    [...]

    I'd appreciate if those wanting to discuss the U.S. elections could do
    this in a separate thread, or - even better - in a different group.

    Please keep this thread dedicated to the Boot Camp.

    @VSI: thanks for reactivating this great event! Can*t await more details...
