Hey man - much appreciated, my friend! It does seem that IBM want to get to be more mainstream where these open source options are concerned - is it oxymoronic to say "mainstream open source"?

Hi Vern,


You mention the "official" blogs - so is this YADS?
yet-another-documentation-site?

I am talking about Jesse's Open Your i blog:
http://ibmsystemsmag.com/blogs/open-your-i Use this as one(n1) official
IBM source for announcements.

n1 - I suspect Jesse will declare how announcements will work moving
forward.

I would hope that this information would appear on IBM's DeveloperWorks
page, just as new stuff for database is there, as well as other things.

I am assuming you mean this page: krengel.tech/dw-ibmioss I would guess
IBM will eventually update that page to point at the new stuff. Right now
that page still needs to exist because it still has older version of
software (i.e. Node.js v6) that IBM is still supporting.


I am surprised at this small but not insignificant, IMO, proliferation of
more places to find out what is going on.

Note, it's in beta. IBM might be letting this thing marinade until COMMON
when a bigger announcement will be made.

Also, you'll notice this open source stuff operates a little different.
For example, if you want to get updates on the Node.js idb-connector then
you should subscribe to the notifications of the repo. I hope IBM
continues this trend of parity with how other open source works, at least
in the scenarios I am seeing. So much excellent insight into what is going
on; even stuff that is in early stages (n2).

n2 - Take a look at the open communication happening at this project:

OK, done now! Back to my regular work!
