I've not been to the latter, but can attest that the SHARE meetings can
be wonderful experiences, with plenty of chance for high-quality
sessions and personal experiences with developers and other
participants.

A quick look at (1-hour) sessions shows about 26 directly applicable to
TSM, with a few more tangentially interesting.  Two of these are
requirements sessions where you can have input on the bugs and new
features that might someday become part of the product(s).

SHARE is not known for its Unix side, but there are some sessions ...
take a look at the preliminary agenda at http://www.share.org/ .

The "Member's Only" portion of www.share.org have year-old proceedings
entries for a couple of sessions that are entitled similarly (parts I
only).
