So, perhaps some descriptions of YIP and Academic Initiative and what
they are doing.

As well, certain platforms of the i5 are technologies that allow for
some bridging from other environments with either minimal effort or
slight effort - Domino, PHP, WAS/Java, SQL, etc.

COMMON also has the Young iSeries Professionals (YIPs) group, which is
made up of younger folks working on the platform. Pete Massiello used to

be involved with that group. Not sure if he still is.

I would contact Linda Grigoleit lfg@xxxxxxxxxxx

She is in charge of the Academic Initiative. I think they have had some
pretty decent successes. Perhaps not enough to keep us all happy but
there have been some very good efforts and some very good results. She
should have some presentation material available as well.

It's best to avoid standing directly between a competive jerk and his
goals.

Subject: i5 Youngsters

I have a manager/supervisor that is concerned about the "greying" of
his work force and the
ability to acquire younger programmers that are willing to work in the
i5 environment. I have
argued that when I came into programming in 1991 I just wanted to work
and did not care what kind
of programming I was doing. I ended up doing COBOL programming in a
mainframe environment and at
the time I thought it was good experience. Anyway, my supervisor seems
to think the new crop of
programmers are not as flexible in that regard and only want to learn
whats hot. Any thoughts
about how I can present a case to show that the system should be well
supplied with professionals
for at least the foreseeable future?
