Re: CDI at Informix Conference

As you probably know, one of the receptions on Tuesday of the conference will be for user group members. I'd like to ask Informix if this forum could be considered a user group, at least for the duration of the reception. :-) Before we did this, we'd have to have some idea of the number of people that would be involved since Informix will be footing the bill. If it turned out to be 100's of people, we'd probably have to forget it. I don't think that will be the case, though. If you are going to the full conference and would like a free invitation to the user group reception, send me your name, e-mail address and postal mailing address. We'll assume that if you're reading this message, you participate in this forum, either directly or indirectly. After people have had a chance to respond, I'll report back what the count is and ask Informix what they think. If they say "OK," I'll send the contact info on to them so they can add it to the invitation list. If it works out that CDI/I-L members can go to the user group reception, I don't think that necessarily replaces a net.get-together. We could still do a net-only thing if we wanted to. Speaking of that, I was wondering how many people would miss it if it were held on Sunday, since some people not going to the tutorials might not get in until Monday. I haven't seen anyone say they were taking a count, so I can do that too unless someone is already doing it. When you send me your name and address for the reception, include the earliest evening that you could attend a separate CDI/I-L gathering. To make the count complete, also send me a reply if you can attend only one but not both. FYI, all of the receptions will be held at the same time in the same hotel. I don't suppose there's an official cut-off date for this count, but at some point we'll have to have a relatively firm estimate of how many people are coming, at least for the reception count. So, reply to me as soon as you can. I'll let the count run for a week or two, with maybe a repost in the middle. Let me know if you have any other ideas or questions.
