Re: IBM and the vanishing System i

Joe,
I was assured it was you who opposed the SOA sessions that were specifically cancelled. I was told all SOA sessions were cancelled. Apparently someone lied.
I am glad you are having SOA represented at OMNI. I am rather disappointed that after your words to me at devcon about how SOA should be represented, you are now having IBM's perspective on SOA as the only one you chose. Especially after you agreed with my assertion that IBM uses SOA to sell Websphere, and you expressed thanks for the neutral way I approached SOA. Your past outcries against SOA don't fit with using IBM as the correct representation of SOA. 

And using an IBM Websphere speaker for SOA is confusing..

Trevor, I'm, not sure where you get your information, but it's quite wrong. 
We're not dropping SOA by any means.  We in fact have lined up IBM's best
SOA speaker, Leonardo Llames.

Nobody in our community is opposing SOA; indeed, we've moved passed the
buzzword stage and are now focusing on the technical details.

From: Trevor Perry

Since there has been some major opposition to SOA in the System i World -
including here on Midrange-L, why would IBM consider it a value
proposition to run on System i?

I hear a large Chicago user group named OMNI has dropped SOA from its
upcoming conference. If SOA is dropped from System i conferences, no
wonder IBM SOA documents ignore the System i platform.
