Last Call
Here we are only 3 days away from the TechEd community speakers proposal deadline and we all know that many good folks with lots of very interesting things to say and share have not yet submitted their abstracts and proposals. How do we know this? Well the SDN/BPX community is probably no different than some of our own internal folks who engage in the age-old custom of handing stuff in the last minute…it’s called procrastination! Of course, I should have been reminding you about this earlier….so I wanted to share with you:
My Five Top Reasons for Not Writing this Blog Sooner
- Someone else will have already written one (the old..."others will do my work for me" approach)
- Craig writes these kind of things in a winning and convincing and even commanding way
- (or Craig is really listened to here in ubergeek world..or others can say it better, excuse)…but Craig hasn’t been feeling well since Atlanta and anyway, I promised I’d write. It's all about intergity and promise (see excuse number 1).
- I hate working with the blog editor tool
- - oops- if my boss' boss can handle html tags..that excuse is rather lame
- People don't like nagging...or marketing
- - but anyone I've personally reminded has said: "thanks for the reminder", I really want to be part of this and we don't want our community thinking: "why didn't you give us one last reminder?"
- It's getting too late anyway
- -favorite excuse of procrastinators...
So, here you have my invitation and my reminder with hopes to see you at TechEd 2007...unless of course you'd rather procrastinate yourself out of your speaking spot
