Speaker Les Koehler
Credentials Before his retirement from IBM after 37+ years, Les was a mainframe (VM) application and tools programmer. First at Research Triangle Park, NC and then with the "Special Planned Products" group that offered time-sharing computing from new facilities in Tampa FL after the IBM/Justice Department Consent Decree expired. Les has presented at previous Symposiums many times, finally breaking out of the dinosaur age of foils and an overhead projector to using a PC at the 25th Annual Symposium in Germany in 2004.

Speaker Rony Flatscher - <rony.flatscher (at) wu-wien.ac.at>
Credentials Rony works as a professor for Business informatics ("Wirtschaftsinformatik") at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) and uses Open Object Rexx for teaching Business Administration and MIS students the object-oriented paradigm, as well as remote-controlling (automating) Windows and Windows end-user applications (e.g. MS Office, Open Office) as well as Java and Java applications.

 

Speaker René Vincent Jansen - <rvjansen (at) xs4all.nl>
Credentials René has used Rexx since it appeared in TSO Extensions in the second half of the eighties when he was a systems programmer at the Central Bank of The Netherlands. He is an independent consultant since the turn of the century, specializing in models and meta models in order to rationalize data governance and model driven development. He likes to program in any language as long as it's Rexx, preferably on an Apple system (because like Rexx, it just works). He plays rhythm guitar in the Scones.
