I was extremely disappointed with the two BOF sessions I attended. The scheduled speakers/hosts did not show up (in both BOF sessions) so they had to track someone down to fill in. The fill in speaker/host showed up ~30 minutes after the session was supposed to begin. It was hard to hear even 25% of the discussions due to the location. Fortunately I only have one more BOF session left on my schedule. It is around lunch time so I will take my lunch instead of attending it.</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:9ba5a137-14ce-4023-973e-17a6820faf69] --> 2008-09-17T00:17:36Z http://www.vmworld.com/blogs/bofdn/2008/09/16/kinda-dissapointed#comment-1336 <!-- [DocumentBodyStart:7d205d4a-f355-406d-ae84-d16d05534da2] --><div class='jive-rendered-content'><p>I absolutely agree about the BOF sessions. I was looking forward to having some round table discussions with my peers to be able to bounce ideas off of and get some behind the scenes configs from.</p><p>These sessions are completely unmanageable due to them being in open common areas and not having to be registered to attend.</p><p>What a big bust this is!</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:7d205d4a-f355-406d-ae84-d16d05534da2] --> 2008-09-16T23:39:02Z
