I was prompted by Jeff's email yesterday to consider what sort of user group conference is really valuable to us.

I certainly found the Schwarzenfeld Rhapsody/Statemate conference very useful and particularly appreciated the interaction with fellow Rhapsody users from around Europe. There did not seem to be any other UK firms exploring the same SysML issues as we are, but the European dimension made it very worthwhile.

On the other hand, I looked at the schedule for the US Telelogic conference, which you may have seen referenced in the community announcements: [url]http://www.telelogic.com/campaigns/2006/americas/ugc/index.cfm[/url]. I noted that the agenda is primarily DOORS and Synergy, with only one session mentioning Rhapsody (17/Aug -- ah, I see there are now five sessions mentioning Rhapsody). If the UK conference were to have little Rhapsody content I would find it hard to justify attendance, but maybe a DOORS person would go.

What have been your reactions to the user group offerings from Telelogic? Wider scope + less travelling, or wider geographical area but more focussed?

(But bearing in mind the recent problems with travelling from the UK, maybe my preference for a tighter scope should be given less weight than the disadvantages of flying.)

Hi Charlie (& all)

It's good to learn about all the other TeleLogic products. But over-ridingly for me, there's always so much ground to cover for use of Rhapsody and approaches to development, that Rhapsody/MDD/SysML should have the limelight in a dedicated forum. Otherwise, it'll get swamped.

We have had the DOORS and Synergy sales teams visit us, and for a first look that's got to be better than attending a user group in relation to these.

Nevertheless, we're close to the Celtic Manor so we'll go and see how it turns out. I'm not sure we'd be able to justify travelling and hotel stays for a general user group.

Cheers

Matthew
