  • All i Want For Christmas Is RDi Lite

    December 12, 2018 Alex Woodie

    All some IBM i community members wanted for the holidays was RDi Lite. Instead, they’re looking at IBM like the Grinch due to its decision not to offer a free, scaled-down version of the application development tool. What’s more, the community is expressing great displeasure at the manner in which IBM handled the matter through its Request for Enhancement (RFE) process.

    Hassan Farooqi kicked off the campaign for RDi Lite in August 2017, when he posted an RFE on the new IBM developerWorks website that’s designed to facilitate collaboration with its user communities by allowing them to submit ideas for …

  • Open Source Is the Future, So Where Does IBM i Fit In?

    December 12, 2018 Alex Woodie

    The IBM i server reached a milestone this year when it turned 30 years old, an amazing feat for a remarkable system that continues to provide computational value to tens of thousands of organizations around the world. But another birthday was celebrated this year that the IBM i community should take note of: The 20th anniversary of the beginning of the open source movement.

  • Happy Holidays From IT Jungle

It has been such an education for all of us, and a privilege and an honor to serve the AS/400, iSeries, System i, and IBM i communities all those years, as well as those many shops who hung back in the early years on the System/36 and System/38 platforms while we are thinking about it.

    We are …

  • Four Hundred Monitor, December 12

    December 12, 2018 Jenny Thomas

    This issue is officially our last of 2018. The end of a year is a time for reflection for many, and also a time for lists. Lists of the people who and things that stood out during the past 12 months. For the IT Jungle team, our year was defined by the loss our beloved Dan Burger. The three of us left behind remember him every day, and it would be remiss not to mention him here. Dan’s voice is missed not just in Monitor and The Four Hundred, but in our community. So as we recap this …
