President's Message By Don Rima

I hope everyone enjoyed a really good JAM! And from what we’re reading in the evaluations, it was a great time for all those in attendance. Also, a BIG Congratulations to our conference evaluation drawing winners: Matthew Schoebel, Perry Hudkins, and Keith Hostrander.

Mark your calendar now for November 7, 2003 and plan on another great day at JAM ’03. We’re already working on the speakers and topics, so watch the JAM web page as it grows this year.

Our next meeting will be on February 4, 2003 and the speaker will be Mr. Wayne Evans. Most of us know Wayne as "Mr. Security" when it comes to the AS/400 because frankly I can’t think of anyone that knows more of what’s happening in security on this system than him. His WAM presentation will follow a full day seminar on iSeries security inside and out. You won’t want to miss this one so check out the SEMINARS hotlink on the WAM web site for more details and info on the Richmond and Philadelphia venues.

Also mark your calendars for March 18 when Bob Cozzi will be our evening keynote speaker. This will also follow a full day seminar on RPG for the web in which Bob will be covering everything from html, cgi, server side includes, CGI API’s, debugging CGI applications, reading/writing data on web pages and a lot more. Check the SEMINARS hotlink on the WAM web site later this week for more info. Bob’s seminar will be presented in Richmond, College Park and in Philadelphia.

On behalf of the WAM Board, we wish you and yours the best of the Season and a very prosperous 2003.

See you at WAM in 2003!
