  • COMMON Extends Deadline for 2007 System i Innovation Awards

    March 5, 2007 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Well, you were all supposed to submit your applications for the 2007 System i Innovation Awards by February 28, but apparently a lot of you OS/400 and i5/OS shops were too busy and didn’t get your paperwork done. So COMMON, the System i user group, and IBM, which makes the server platform, have extended the deadline for applications.

    If you want to embarrass your colleagues by making them give a speech or try to get a trip for yourself to Anaheim, California, to get your award at the annual COMMOM user group meeting and expo, you now have until March 9–the end of this week–to submit your nomination to be considered for the award. You can do that on IBM’s site.

    The System i Innovation Awards are presented in six categories: solutions innovation, business resiliency, infrastructure simplification, i5/OS solutions, education excellence, and community support. You can make your online submission for the award at this IBM site. The winners will receive an engraved Tiffany crystal award, a complimentary one-year membership to COMMON, one complimentary registration to the 2008 IT Executive Conference, and five complimentary registrations to COMMON’s 2008 annual Conference & Expo. Each award finalist will receive two complimentary one-day passes for the 2007 annual conference, which is being hosted in Anaheim, California, April 29 through May 1.

    The System i Innovation Award is not to be confused with the System i Innovation Challenge, which was announced a few weeks ago by the iSociety i5 platform advocacy group and IBM. The Award is for companies, but the Challenge is for students. The challenge is open to college and university students and requires them to research the System i and its community, create a viral video related to what they learn about the System i, and develop an application to run on the System i. The winner gets a trip to the data center at Nintendo in Redmond, Washington, and if IBM knows what is good for it, it will supply the winner with a freebie Wii game console, too.
