During the Validation BOF at the last AIW, we again discussed having an
APPN Connect-A-Thon.  This would be a chance for multiple vendors to get
together and test connectivity between their products.  As participants
of past "hot staging" events can attest, this type of environment can be
a good avenue for exposing basic interoperability problems.

I would like to get an idea of the interest level to know if and when to
begin planning this Connect-A-Thon.  Please respond via the validation
mail exploder ([email-masked]) or to me
directly ([email-masked] / 919-254-4475) if you are interested.
Provide as much information as possible, such as when you'd like to see
it take place, how long you think it should last, implementation specific
requests, etc..

Future information concerning the Connect-A-Thon will be posted on the
validation mail exploder.

Thanks,
Erika Lewis
