ChannelDB2 and DB2 Online Community Action Day

Hi, if you've been wondering where I've been the last couple of weeks, well I've caught the flu last week. We call it 'stomach flu' but apparently the right expression is 'gastroenteritis'. I didn't get out of bed for about a week and lost some 5 kilos. I'll get them back, don't worry, allthough my wife likes to think otherwise.
As a matter of fact, I'm just in time back to announce the first DB2 'Online Community Action Day' tomorrow on October 1, 2008. It's related to the new 'ChannelDB2' community : "ChannelDB2 is a social network for the DB2 community. It features content such as DB2 related videos, podcasts, blogs, photos, resources, etc. for Linux, UNIX, Windows, System z, and System i". You can subscribe to the community, but Adam Gartenberg asks you to go one step further and "to take just one simple action to demonstrate your participation in the broader community. Just one". Some examples of what you can do :

• Go to a DB2 ListServ, comp.databases.informix, or any of the many developerWorks forums and respond to just one question.
• Send an e-mail to 2 (or 3 or 5) of your coworkers, colleagues, or friends and pass on links to Channeldb2, Planetdb2, Informix Zone, the XML Contest homepage, or other community sites.
• Find a blog post that made a difference in your job and leave a comment saying “thank you.”

Some other people commenting on this event are Willie Favero, Susan Visser and Peggy Zagelow.

Just take a look, if you're into DB2, this will defenitely become an interesting community.
