Coming to EMC World? Taking Suggestions for "Speak to the Geek" Topic
Are you attending EMC World in May? We'd like your input. Even if you're not attending, we'll take your input, since the session I'd like suggestions on will be streamed live over the Internet.
I'll be leading a "Speak to the VMware Geek" tweetup session at EMC World, most likely Wednesday afternoon, but I'll post scheduling details here as soon as they're confirmed.
I've talked the EMC folks into letting me use my favorite old-school media presentation tool: a whiteboard. The session will be an hour. The format will be a 10-minute whiteboard presentation from me, followed by an open question and answer period where I'll take any questions on the topic from both participants present at the show and from the live chat for those viewing the session online.
My question to you:
What EMC/VMware topic would make it worth your while to attend this session? What do you want to hear about?
My current thinking is to do a session on EMC's integration with VMware. My presentation would go into detail on where exactly this integration happens, and the value it can bring to you, our customers.
But, I'm open to suggestions. If there's another topic you'd rather see a live, interactive whiteboard session on, let me know by commenting on this thread.
We're here to serve you, our customers. Let us know what you'd find most useful, and then come see us at EMC World!

I think this is a great idea Dave! Best part is keep it to technology over prduct. I like how you would go over the how you integrate it in portion.
I'm sure if I make it to EMC World this year I will definetly be attending this and will have plenty of questions, heck I will conjure up some anyways.
Great idea and I LOVE whiteboarding!!

Dave,
i would like to hear about integration of VMware with Isilon, there are tons of information about integration with VNX (file and block) but how about the newest member of the family.
Thanks

Excellent point. If we go with the EMC integration with VMware topic, I'll make sure to cover Isilon as part of it.
Until very recently, Isilon was the part of our portfolio that I was least familiar with myself. I've had the good fortune to work closely with some of the Isilon folks on a project recently, so I know a lot more about those products than I used to.
I'll also do a separate Isilon post on this community so I can pull together some info focused specifically on those products.

We're still working out the full details of exactly what we'll be able to do for the session, but I find whiteboards a great way to answer questions. Sometimes it's so much easier to explain things visually.
And I do hope you make it to EMC World. It's long past time we actually got to meet in person.
