BrainShare SLC started yesterday.  The opening keynote included a number of product announcements relating to IDM v4, ZCM as an appliance, Conferencing and the unveiling of Novell Pulse.  Everyone attending BrainShare has received a Pulse account, and can invite five colleagues to join them!  You can stay in touch with what's happening at BrainShare in a number of ways.  This URL summarises them all succinctly:

So if you didn't manage to get to Salt Lake then why not go to BrainShare Amsterdam in May?  The good news is that the discount code obtained by Open Horizons currently gives you a full 20% off the early bird price.  So act now and get into BrainShare for just 556 Euro  (+VAT).  As I said previously this is great value for 3 days training and access to senior Novell management and Product teams.  Please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it if you wish to register using the discount code.

Thirdly, 2 advance dates for your diaries. This year Open Horizons is hosting the Novell IT IN Action tour events, and two of them will be run in the UK.  The first event on 30 June will be held in Edinburgh while the second takes place a week later on 7 July at Bletchley Park (close to Milton Keynes).  While a lot of the planning remains to be completed both of these events will be packed to the brim with great content, so start making plans now to attend one or both!
