2024 VM Workshop Committee Members
The VM Workshop is run by regular people with real day jobs using, supporting, and developing for z/VM, z/VSE, and Linux. The people listed here are regular contributors to the planning and behind-the-scenes work needed to bring off a top-quality event like VM Workshop. If you see these people running around like crazed lunatics, that's most of the reason why -- they're "making good things happen".
WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you'd like to get engaged with making the VM Workshop happen, ask ANY of these people, or check the box on your registration that says you'd like to be a part of bringing VM Workshop to the huddled masses who dream to have the best hosting/virtual private cloud/whatever in the world, based on technologies we love. It doesn't take much time, and you get to know loads of people who you'll like, a lot. (cue dramatic music....)
