Re: Question about COMMON

Like any conference, PLANNING is what's important.  Print out the grid
and mark your primary and secondary choices of sessions as sometimes
sessions get canceled.  

Download all the handouts.  Even if you don't attend the session there's
very valuable info in the handouts. 

Don't be afraid to ask dumb questions, Chances are Paul's already asked
them at least once already... :) :) :)

Walk the venu the day before so you get familiar with it and don't
wander around like a lost sheep during the conference. 

Find out when there's food in the expo as conference eats can be costly.


Attend CUDS, if they still have it.
