Re: The Sound Of No Hands Clapping
I'll tell what's her name that she is being reffered to on a daily basis!! (Sam will never come to any conference. London is long way for me to come. At least there is a chance that I will pick up something useful while being bored. Sam would just be bored.)
As for the bar, that sounds great. Thanks Stephen. I agree with John maybe we should just setup our own conference. We could even create the "TM1 Touring Workshop", otherwise known as a pub crawl.

Re: The Sound Of No Hands Clapping
I have this horrible vision of a group of rowdies wearing blue and gold football scarves with "TM1" embroidered on them (unless you want to go for CognosAnIBMCompany grey instead) lurching into London bars belting out a drunken chorus of:jim wood wrote:I agree with John maybe we should just setup our own conference.

Ooooover-bloody-feeeeding,

We will be wearing orange and blue. Obviously being UK football fans we will also be looking to fight anybody wearing either red an grey or blue only.

Re: The Sound Of No Hands Clapping
Suprise suprise, I do break the stereotypical American on this point. No translation needed. I am well aware of you football hooligans! I remember back in the day when Eric Cantona <Flip my collar up> was my idol playing a a Keeper for Man U was my goal in life.(Disclaimer: May not be understood by Eric or anyone else with limited exposure to UK Soccer, er, sorry, I mean FOOTBALL culture.)
I need to find a way to get my boss to send me to this training! Maybe I should spend my free time making a bogus website for this...........TM1 Touring Workshop

Unfortunately some of us live in a land where football is only allowed to have one meaning and where the evil word soccer has to be used. Even worse is that no matter what you call it you dont get to watch it on TV.

Re: The Sound Of No Hands Clapping
I am not attending becuase I would expect the TM1 session to be very basic, similar to the Cognos Forum. Heck I bet I even have the .ppt they will show.

Re: The Sound Of No Hands Clapping
They do play some games. We even had the fun of having all of Euro shown through ESPN. It is getting better unfortunately they are not devloping the US based leagues very well. So i take what I can get.jim wood wrote:George I feel for you. Don't they show premier league games on ESPN?
My company does not plan on attending. After being disappointed by the Forum it is not worth the money for us. We did not even plan on going to the US based Road Show since the $300 to get to Atlanta will probably not be worth the effort.RobertMilli wrote:Hi,

Heck unless they improve the Forum for next year it is not worth the 1 hour drive to Orlando.

Re: The Sound Of No Hands Clapping
From Jo Pusztai's interview....
Any ideas for a new name?
Maybe they could call it "IBM Management Software for Consolidation and Review of Enterprise Wide Economic Data" or IM SCREWED for short
Eh? Did he really say that OK he didn't mean it like that I knowTM1 isn't going anywhere
Well they've tinkered with "branding" before (iTM1 anybody?) but (even though nobody has ever heard of TM1 after 15 years of Applix's "marketing") they'd still be crazy to change it's name.Pusztai hints that the TM1 brand itself might go away: "The TM1 identity might not actually carry forward. We still haven't decided about that, but the actual technology itself … that [is something] we will continue to carry forward" on a standalone basis," he asserts.

What can we say?TM1 version 9.1 was a relatively mature product when Cognos picked it up last year. Nonetheless, Pusztai says, there's always room for improvement.
I'd be interested to hear that confirmed here."One of the design goals for the Active Forms feature was that we were getting feature drift between the [TM1] thick and thin clients. There was stuff you could only get in the Web client," Pusztai says. "As of [TM1] 9.4, we've equalized everything. We were able to create a common user experience across both [clients]."

I wouldn't try that unless I was pulling a casino heist a-la Oceans 11.
I got an e-mail about the following event this morning though:
http://www.cognos.com/performance2008/index.html
There doesn't seem to be a lot on TM1, but I've signed up for it anyway. (a) It's free, (b) It's only one day, not more than half a week (c) it's not located an hour and 20 minutes away (by phone), and (d) I have to admit to being curious about seeing more information about integrating BI with TM1.

A wrench is something that is difficult to take, a burden if you will. (Or as us northerns say a "A rite bag of sh*te")
