What is ASUG-BITI? BITI is a Community of Special Interest Groups,
commonly referred to as SIGs, within ASUG. BITI Stands for
Business Integration, Technology & Infrastructure. ASUG will be providing
content as part of this year's SAP Community Day at SAP TechED '07 in
Las Vegas.
BOF Sessions (from Wikipedia):
Birds of a Feather: This idiom is a shortening of the proverb "Birds of a
feather flock together.", meaning that people (birds) of the same kind or
interest (of a common feather) enjoy spending time (flocking) together. This
proverb is believed to date back as far as Greek and Roman times, but has become
commonly used as jargon by various groups since the nineteenth century. In the
world of computing, BoF (Birds Of a Feather) can refer to: An informal
discussion group. Unlike Special Interest Groups or Working groups, BoFs
are informal and often formed in an ad-hoc manner. The acronym is used by
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to denote initial meetings of members
interested in a particular issue. A BoF session, an informal meet-up at
conferences, where the attendees group together based on a shared interest and
carry out discussions without any pre-planned agenda.

I was wondering if a session on 'Maximixe your SDN/BPX experience' would be in order ? Something to teach people new to SDN/BPX how to navigate, bookmark, store favorites... etc. There is a ton of info out there, and sometimes it's hard to find.
Just my 2p.
Craig Cmehil
Go ahead and add it to the list, anything not done at the Community Day that people want to see/hear can always be taken into the Clubhouse during the rest of TechEd.

Hi Craig,
I was not suggesting that I *give* such a session... just that I, for one, would really benefit from it!
I'll add it to the list, with the disclaimer that I am absolutely unqualified to present it.
Cheers,
Sue
Marilyn Pratt
