Re: Developerworks imminent demise - Save the content!

Greetings,

As you all have seen IBM is sun-setting this at the end of the
year. I
think we can all agree that the loss of this information would be, well
I'll just say: 'Bad.'

We at COMMON in partnership with our friends in COMMON Europe are
in
contact with IBM, specifically with the person who owns Developerworks.
Our goal is simple, don't lose this content.

There are several options on the table at this point and we're not
sure
which will prevail but leading contenders including IBM migrating this
content within IBM, likely to Communities.

From our perspective however this is not a done deal and we also
don't
know if they intend to move the entire thing, or just pieces and parts.

SO Here is my ask:

Go there, comment. Be respectful but be very clear. Tell them
which
parts you use and would miss should they go away. Telling them to 'save
the entire thing' does not carry as much weight as being specific to the
parts you personally utilize. And pass the word to your friends and
fellow IBM i supporters. I would love for them to cry 'Uncle' because
we've sent them so many comments!

And when you are there, tell them that Midrange-L and COMMON sent
you.
Let them know there are additional parts of the IBM i Community.

'There' is here:
