Zimbra at VMworld 2013 - SanFran

[Brian F Berndt <bberndt@purdue.edu>]

Hello everyone,

I remember hearing a year or so ago that Zimbra was meeting with 
customers at VMworld rather than other conferences.  So I recommended 
to my managers that I attend the San Fransisco VMworld this year.  
Can any Zimbra people on this list let me know if some Zimbra sessions 
will be added to the San Fransisco content catalog?  They don't look 
like they are on there yet!

Although I can see 3 application sessions for the 2012 conference 
related to Zimbra:

EUC1920	- Case Study: Implementing Zimbra as a Private Cloud 
    Collaboration Solution
EUC2327	- Zimbra: How to Defeat the Rest
EUC2791	- VMware Zimbra 8: Messaging as a Service in the Post-PC Era
 
The only item returned for a search of "zimbra" in this year's content 
catalog is a speaker session for Marcello Golfieri whose bio includes 
that he is working on Zimbra as Research Engineer.  This session is a 
Horizon Workspace: Data Deep Dive, which does sound interesting, but 
is not an application that I use at Purdue.

We are working on an upgrade from ZCS 6 to ZCS 8.  There have been 
several good posts about this on the list, but I am looking forward to 
learning more about sizing and architecture recommendations as well.  
Anyone else going this year and have you found any sessions for Zimbra?

Thanks,
Brian
