Organization
The Systems Management / Tivoli working group meets three times per year. The meetings always begin on Thursday at 10 AM and end on Friday at 4 PM.
The Thursday offers two or three parallel workshops on various Tivoli topics. Afterwards all participants come together for a discussion in the open session, where new requirements can be proposed and voted on.
On Friday morning there are presentations from GSE members, IBM/Tivoli, and Tivoli partners, and on Friday afternoon there is a short training, free of charge, on some current topic.
The meetings are organized by the GSE members themselves.
