Summary of MQ Technical Conference v2.0.1.4

Summary of MQ Technical Conference v2.0.1.4

I would like to thank the attendees, speakers and sponsors for participating in the 2nd annual MQ Technical Conference. Kalahari catering had a few hiccups but outside of that, I think everything went reasonably well.

I did my best to make sure that each breakfast and lunch had something different from the day before and I scheduled an afternoon treat as a pick-me-up for the rest of the afternoon. 🙂

Next year’s conference, MQTC v2.0.1.5 will be held on September 28 to 30th, 2015 at Kalahari Resorts.

If Sandusky, Ohio is not your preferred location for Capitalware’s MQ Technical Conference, where would you like it to be located? You can post it here or email me.

For those of us who have been using IBM MQ (aka WebSphere MQ, MQSeries) for a very long time, you may remember SupportPac MA88. SupportPac MA88 contained the MQ Java/JMS JAR files as a separate package.

Well, IBM has decided (again) to release MQ Java/JMS JAR files as a separate package:
