In regards to the subject of a VMware presentation, It's not, completely "borked". For reasons which it would be inappropriate of me to discuss, the raffle WKS licenses idea has been scrubbed. The possibility of donated licenses has not. (Although I'm inclined to think it's something of a hail mary.) Mister Burton! has been discussing the presentation with larger fish then I, and it's being scheduled, so I'm just going to step back and let things play out as they may. Although I did suggest that since there might be some overlap between CLUE and the Denver VMUG, it might make sense to reach out to the VMUG and see if any of their members might want to come as well. I did however, pass along the questions/feedback I've been getting, which, thus far has included</div>

This might be for multiple presentations as well.</div><div>- VMware Server v2.x is slated for "end of life" come 30 June.
