Re: open source on iSeries

Hello Jill,

First, I would like to thank you for considering me as a source of
commentary on your up coming article on open source for the IBM iSeries.

Open source projects are a "catch as catch can" proposition for us
little folk that are trying to make a difference in the world that we
believe in.

Just this past week I read an article about IBM offering a Linux only
mainframe.

Then it dawned on me that IBM is playing a "me too" strategy with
Linux.  I find it ironic that the largest computer company on Earth,
with income in excess of $1 billion per week, would be riding the coat
tails of a product that is available for free.

Maybe open source can make a paradigm shift.  Maybe open source should
be taken seriously.

Regards,
