The wheels are turning. My manager said it felt off to him, but he couldn't see anything functionally wrong, so he's running it past HR. To the subject of whether or not VMware's willing to officially come to CLUE and present, packets have been sent (literally and metaphorically) to the sales guys. On our side of the equation it's probably worth assessing how many people, if any, would be interested in hearing those guys speak.<br>

There actually is though a charitable program, where we can take time off to go work for charities. Presumably because it's a tax write-off, so you never know, they might surprise me. If I can find out who the sales people are for this region, they might actually ask if they can come and do their pitch to the group. (shrug). Worst answer they can say is no.<br>
