After much deliberation, I think I finally have my VMworld schedule made out. I'm very positive I'll be calling a few audibles and scratching something out to attend more sessions by other vExperts.
As for the announcement, David Davis of Train Signal and VMwareVideos.com has asked me to be a special guest speaker during his breakout session MA8339, 10 Best Free Tools for vSphere Management. I'm thrilled to not only be attending my first VMworld, but getting a chance to speak as well. Thanks David! The breakout sessions will be taking place on Monday and Wednesday from 1:30-2:30pm in Moscone South Room 301. I have seen David's presentation and we are currently tweaking it to be ready for San Francisco next week. Hope to see you there!
