3676.0. "Update-Field SEs @LKG" by PTOJJD::DANZAK (Pittsburgher �) Tue Jul 02 1996 15:21

(Cross posted in other notes files...and...if you're planning to be
at Kimble Farms - please call or mail Janet Lutkus @MKO DTN 264-2491
node MKOTS3:: so they can get a count for number of munchies etc..!)

The field NPB System Engineers will all be at LKG the week of July 7th for
update on new products, training etc.

On Thursday Evening there a casual event at Kimble Farms (across the road)
after the daily technical sessions.  Engineers, product support, product
management, marketing etc., are invited too!  

Attached are the particulars - just in case you didn't hear about it from your
regular communication channels.  (I've talked to a few of you on the phone and
mentioned it and you said "what event...." so...)

But it's a good time to meet with the folks who deal with the magic when it 
comes out of the box - as opposed to all the team at LKG who goes through hell 
to get the magic INTO the box.

Please pass this on and hope many folks will get there to spend some time with 
the "field" in the field at Kimble.   Also just FYI attached is the tentative
agenda for the System Engineers training event.  (I believe that the field
SE's attitude about that is that knowledgeable "drop-ins" are always 
welcome...!)

Regards,
j

SUBJECT:  Draft of SE Forum Agenda   

Attached is the latest draft of the SE Forum Agenda for your Review.

I believe the only details missing are the room assignments for BOFs,
breakout sessions, and closed sessions.  There are also a couple of
designates listed.  I plan to finalize such open issues by the end of this
week.  
 
Please contact me if  you have questions or concerns.
