The COSs are grouped by operating system, and each
session is labeled with the operating system it applies
to. So a session may appear under an IBM i or Linux COS,
for instance, but may apply to AIX administrators as well.
For this reason, make sure to sort the session guide by
Operating System “keyword” as well as COS.

COMMON’s Annual Meeting and Exposition in Anaheim,
California provides a great opportunity to meet with many
of the IBM team. Executives and Technical Experts from
IBM will be on-site to provide product updates, answer your
questions, and share their insights. IBMers will be there to
help and guide you. In addition, the COMMON/IBM Power
Systems Innovation Award will be presented to the winner
on Sunday during the Opening Session. Come to the Annual
Meeting - IBM is looking forward to seeing you there!
Labs
COMMON’s computer labs are extremely popular because
they provide the hands-on training you need to accomplish
similar projects at your company. You may attend any lab –
there is no pre-registration. First come, first served!
Traditional labs are hands-on classes on a single subject, and
you stay from start to end. The presenter walks the class
through the exercises as a group. Open labs offer multiple
lab modules in the same room at the same time on a work-at-your-own-pace basis. With open labs, you can come and
go, select as many or as few of the lab exercises offered. All
open labs are staffed with experts to assist you. For a listing,
go to www.common.org/sessions.html (click on the Labs
tab).
Course of Study Listing
All sessions at the Annual Meeting are grouped into broad
topic categories called Courses of Study (COSs). Each
Course of Study covers a specific area such as Application
Development, Security, or Systems Management. To view
the Course of Study listing, go to the online session guide at
