Tom,

        Did you or your clients attend either of the Solution
Symposiums?  How would you view an OpenMPE World as being different then
them?

Thanx,
    Jon Backus

Alan,

I like these ideas. This was the first HP World I have missed in years
simply because I could not justify the cost given the return from
attending. Quite a few of my clients felt the same way. Having a less
expensive, 3000-centric conference is very attractive.
