What is being done for Upgrade Bootcamp Attendees?

 

This being the 10 hour boot camp on Sunday were it was a complete waste of time?  I got more out of the the instructors's upgrade videos prior to attending than I got out of the bootcamp.  And I find it surprising that 24 hours after the fiasco started, people were still having issues on Monday morning with labs.  That just isn't professional for such a conference.

 

 

I lost of day of my life to this fiasco, paid for an extra hotel night, dinner, etc.  I've heard of some attendees being contacted by VMware (nice job) to make things right.  However, I haven't been contacted yet.  Who do I need to communicate with?

Yes it was a hassle. I've not been contacted by anyone. I would like to hear from someone as well. My company sent me but didn't pay for sunday either.
