Hi Brian,
I heard you’ve landed a new job already. Congrats!
Since you’re probably not on our SNUG mailing list – I wanted to make sure you got the info – SNUG is 9/12 at the same place. If you send me your new email address, I can get you an invite.
Also, you had mentioned that there were a bunch of other RIFed IBMers in the area. SNUG is a great place for networking, and learning about ‘industry stuff’ (as opposed to big-blue walled garden way of doing things) – but without valid “.com” customer addresses (gmail.com doesn’t count), I (or another Synopsoid) would need to vouch for them. If you think they wouldn’t mind, if you have their emails, please send them to me and I’ll make sure they get an invite – otherwise, feel free to mention it to them first, and send me their emails or have them email me. If they try to register on their own, they might get rejected.
Hope to see you there, and good luck in your new job!
Regards,
Kevin Brelsford
