All,
Over the past few VMWorlds, I have sent out an email outlining some of my personal picks for the sessions I think would be the best to attend based on my direct experience with the speaker, either through personal relationship, or presenting with them at another event. I have taken a look at all of the speaker names, and chosen only the ones I know are “golden” in technical knowledge or presentation skills! Try not to miss the ones marked “Highly Recommended” as they are sessions that have an extraordinary speaker or topic.
Since I was always attending past VMWorlds, it was somewhat easy to coordinate meetings and get you connected with Engineering folks as well as meeting up at the parties and events. Well, this is the first year in the last 5 years that I will not be attending with you (Since there are a finite number of employee passes, many newer SEs have not had the opportunity to attend, and the labs as self-paced this year), so I am creating this email as your “Virtual Tom” reference doc! :)
There will be several management folks on site to assist...My manager, Phil Petrella; and Greg Andsager, Craig’s Manager. I have already coordinated several meetings for some of you already, but can have Greg & Phil assist on site as well. Should anyone have any additional Engineering, PM, or other topics of interest that you would like me to assist in scheduling, please let me know as we still have opportunity to do so...
Remember, the standard disclaimer applies: These are my own picks and your mileage may vary! Feedback on my picks would be appreciated, and I know they will be better than my Fantasy Football picks this year!! :)
Let me know if you have questions or comments, and have a great time in San Francisco!
Thanks!
