MQTCBATS Update

Sessions registered so farâ€¦

MQ Lost my message (redux) - Glen Brumbaugh
Crazy high CPU usage on Z/OS after MQ clients updated to 7.5 - Linda Foley
Look, you can see the DR datacenter from here! - AJ Aronoff

If you recognized a couple of those names from the vendor roster, good eye! You spotted the rules changes.

I designed the topic nomination and voting to handle the situation of having more proposed topics than we have time to present. That required some means to pre-select and whittle them down and that requires some lead time. However I was estimating turnout based on Def Con events at which beer is served and that's a totally different crowd with different requirements and response profiles, and whose fund raising events include "Mohawks! $15" booths run by neon mohawk-sporting women.

We have three respondents so far, two of which are employed by sponsoring vendors. Problem is, we have all these prizes and it hardly seems sporting to hand them out just for showing up.

So here's the rule changes:

Me, Roger and his family are ineligible. People employed by vendors (i.e. session presenters) are invited.
I'm blowing off all the voting. Show up with a topic, get in the on-deck circle, grab the mic when it's free.

Don't let that stop you from tweeting your topic ahead of time, posting it in the comments, or emailing it to me, though. It's been kind of fun seeing the topic proposals posted. You do not need a Twitter account to follow along:
