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!

I’m sorry to hear you won’t be able to make it, Ryan. I’m going to try liveblogging the keynote sessions in addition to as many of the individual sessions as possible. I’ve never done that before, so we’ll see how that goes.
Take care!

Scott – I’m a frequent reader, and I (along with others from MSFT) will be in town. It may not be high on your list of things to do at the show, but I do want to invite you to stop by the MSFT booth. Let me know if you’re interested.
-
Sure, Patrick, I’ll stop by. Let’s get together via e-mail as the show gets closer and we’ll set up a time to meet at the booth, if you’d like. You can reach me via scott dot lowe at scottlowe dot org.

Scott,
It looks like a full schedule . When do you get time to eat:) My company spent $400,000 with Vmware for a specialized Eula agreement and you would think that they would have thrown in a ticket. Anyway I believe Mike OReilly will be teaching the VMware Lab Manager Technical Deep Dive (VMware)class so your in good hands.
