I’m thinking of dropping the VMotion compatibility session, since I think I’m fairly clear on how that process works (refer to this article and this article), but I’m not really sure what to put in its place.
In any case, I’m sure that my schedule will change as the event draws closer and I’ll keep this post updated as it changes. If you’re interested in meeting up with me in San Francisco, post in the comments below and let’s get together. Thanks!
UPDATE: If you’d like to meet up with me at VMworld, Tuesday is absolutely out of the question. As you can see, I’m already overbooked, and my schedule above still doesn’t reflect a few other obligations I have on Tuesday. Ugh! In any case, you’ll be able to spot me at VMworld because I’ll be wearing personalized polo shirts that have my name on the right chest and my company’s logo (e+) on the left chest. Feel free to come up to me and say hi!
