      I know that @JaredBusch mentioned in a post on SW how he wished there were more advanced classes offered. Perhaps a 101 and a 201 (or higher) track so that each level could be addressed? Maybe before scheduling, get an idea of who would like to attend which session so that people don't have to make hard choices and miss sessions they really wanted to attend? It's not like we're likely to have 5 sessions running at once at the first ML-Con.

        Also, I like the topics mentioned by AJ, the storage 101 idea and the "Linux: When and Where for the SMB" idea. Good stuff. It's hard to narrow things down when the sky's the limit.

          @Dominica I did, and I'm personally not sure what I would like to see out of something more advanced. I used the powershell session as an example just because it was one I attended, though not for the powershell skills.

              IT Pro 101 would be a bit more than User 101, so yeah.

                  Exactly. Everyone is always interested in their own 101s.

                    I think a general talk on risk mitigation, how it translates to the bottom line, and how to get projects approved by management by justifying the cost might be good. You could throw in helpful hints about how to align projects with business need and not departmental wishes.

                      I'd actually like to hear a session about growing your department, coaching and development of the people who work for you, letting them grow without stunting your growth, justifying that the team needs to grow, etc.

                        @pchiodo is good on this subject.

                          I am not sure I should be chiming in here,.. since I feel that I'm in the latter stages of the twilight part of my IT career... As much as I am still interested in Tech and IT,.. With all that has happened over the last 10-5 years so much of it is beyond me.

                          As a sole IT tech in a Non Profit operation, I could see options in Firewall, VPN, Mesh network, Wi-Fi, digital security and such; but on a level that a AIO Tech could comprehend...

                            I am not familiar with the term AIO Tech. I Googled it but didn't find anything.

                              Self coined term. AIO (All In One) Tech.. Not really a term.. or did I just create it...?

                                OH! I know AIO in reference to PCs. It was "AIO Tech" that threw me off. No special tech, just a monitor attached to the PC like we've had since the beginning (TRS80, Mac, etc.)

                                  I think I can arrange that one.

                                      I bet he would.
