The other day I was wandering around the internet and found a blog post that had a short interview with Toni Taylor, who is the IBM liaison to iSociety, that I thought was pretty good.
Since midrange.com is one of the founding members of iSociety, and as a sort of experiment, I'm going to make this post an open discussion of iSociety. If you have questions or comments about iSociety, feel free to post them here.

For those of you who have been paying attention, midrange.com was nominated for a System i Innovation Award in the Community Support category.
While we didn't win the award (Trevor Perry of angustheitchap.com won), it was quite an honor to be a finalist. It certainly shows that people have noticed, and appreciate, the work that I've been doing.
The award ceremony was quite enjoyable ... the food and entertainment was quite good, and we met a number of new people. It also goes to show that us System i folks can clean up pretty well.
After the Innovation Award ceremony, I was informed that I had also been nominated for another award ... and it would be presented at the iSocial (formerly known as CUDS) on Wednesday ... sadly, I was unable to stay to receive the Gibraltar award (for outstanding service to the System i community).
I really would have liked to been able to stay to receive the award ... I even had a a speech prepared ... but there was work to be done.
All in all, I did enjoy the time I spent at COMMON. As is usually the case, I wasn't able to do half the things I wanted to. But I met a lot of people and had a good time.
