MangoCon 2017

Found out about two additional confirmed people last night that are coming and three people in the last hour or two have told me that they are trying to make it. That's five people that I didn't know about yet just in the last 24 hours - of which I've not been online at all. So that's awesome.

Newb question: The hotel that is offering the block rate is the same hotel where the conference / sessions are located, Correct?

Yup. You definitely want to stay there

Officially later on. But most of us will be in town from the day before. Or a week before for me. So you want to lean as early as you can.

I guess I really should get that stuff handled as I have neither purchased my ticket nor looked at rooms.

Anyone want a roommate?

I booked my room months ago, but didn't get my ticket yet . Should really do that this week.

EddieJennings

Flight booked.

Still recovering from last year?

@scottalanmiller haha... possibly

Is there an ETA on a release of intended training topics / sketch of agenda? I'd like to make a pitch to management to try to offset the costs, and being able to relate specific topics to job function would be helpful.

I've heard that several FreePBX / VoIP / PBX topics are on the docket. Maybe @JaredBusch can release some of the topic info with more specifics as that is his wheelhouse.

I think that @Stuka is talking storage.

I know that @art_of_shred and myself are presenting on "The State of the Art in System Administration".

Good chance that @QuixoticJeremy is presenting on modern desktop administration practices.

@scottalanmiller I could probably sell this alone with VoIP. As, after this documentation stuff, that's the next big project.

scottalanmiller

I heard that @Rob is presenting again this year, but I have not heard of the topic. Not sure that he knows.

@shannon or @aboyd might know more about Rob's topic than he does.

I heard a rumour that it is FOUR VoIP sessions. But verify that.
