VCDX Application submitted - time for mock defenses

I have just submitted my VCDX application for June defense in Frimley, UK. I assume all my readers know what VCDX stands for. For those who don't look at VCDX.vmware.com for further details. I don't want to write about VCDX defense process, preparation, etc. because there are lot of other blog posts and resources available on the internet.

I think that VCDX is about continuous lifelong learning at home and practicing in the field. However I believe that learning must be significantly boosted before the defense because in VCDX panel are sitting the most skilled vSphere architects on this planet. Therefore your success probability increases when you are prepared for any question regarding your design.

Preparing together is better. That's the reason I'm looking for other VCDX candidates already submitted VCDX applications and targeting July defense. I would be more then happy to organize study sessions or mock defenses over the webex.

Below are session times best suiting me. However, if you prefer another time just write a comment or send a tweet to @david_pasek and I can arrange another sessions.

All times are in Central European Time (GMT+2). If you want to register send a tweet to @david_pasek or post a comment with date(s) you are planning to attend.
