I wish IBM wasn’t discontinuing the Java version of IBM Personal Communicator, aka Stand Alone HOD (Host on Demand).

Hi Tim, It is cool indeed. I wish IBM did more to encourage enterprises (especially the mainframe domain) to use more open source. It's quite obvious now that open source isn't broke man's software; it's a place for very talented people from around the world to solve common problems, in a way that a single vendor cannot. Like how some folks write extremely performant this or that. Things like tnz getting taken seriously within enterprises, is totally up to "industry push", a part of it will be down to IBM :) Otherwise, I'm afraid IBM's excellent work of putting stuff on GitHub will dwindle, again reverting to 'behind the doors' development. For this project in particular, examples of tying up tnz with Microsoft Flow or some such thing common in enterprises, will make it appealing for adoption. - KB ------- Original Message ------- On Thursday, November 17th, 2022 at 4:36 PM, David Crayford <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for sharing.
