We're expecting 2,500 to 3,000 attendees in Boston and we had about the same amount [at the Share meeting] in Anaheim in March. Most attendees will be from the U.S., but we do get a fair number of attendees from both Europe and Asia. For instance, 17 members of one of our sister user groups, Japan Guide/Share, will be coming to Boston. We're probably going to see more pickup from China where the mainframe market is growing more and more.
Share is still the place to go. It's the only place you can go where you can talk to people walking the talk. If you look at a scientific paper, they'll list experiments and why they were a success. What you never hear them saying is, 'Boy, that was a mistake. It didn't work.' You do hear that at Share. To me, in some sense, it's more valuable to hear about failures [than successes].
IDGNS: Where did the Share name come from?
Rosen: From the sharing of information. Share was never an acronym. We always say 'It's not an acronym, it's what we do.'
