Bay Area 3000 education, now online
February 4, 2008
Training and advisories are now online from last year's e3000 Community Meet, Bayside 2007. Some of the news from a full day of presentations from experts and advocates, which explored both homesteading and migration strategies, is available at the event's Web site:
What you'll find is a way to collect the wisdom of the seasoned professionals who met all day on a Saturday just before Thanksgiving. HP's 3000 updates on its 2008-2010 plans is included, as well as slides on Migration Solutions, moving MPE to HP's Unix and Linux, and even a photo album. (We've reported on homesteading strategies from Allegro Consultants in a prior blog post.)
On the event Web site you can also read a certain newsletter editor's after-lunch speech, for those who might have nodded off, as well as those who couldn't attend.
Here's some direct links to the papers, if you'd like to pick and choose.

A few other presentations filled the room of 3000 customers and partners, but they aren't yet represented on the event Web page. As the only HP 3000 event of 2007, the Web page notes, "Your attendance ensured that 2007's only event resulted in a successful opportunity for networking, exchanging new information and renewing acquaintances and friendships."
