I registered mscis.org while working toward my masters degree (MSCIS - defined below). Since then I hoped to open a community site for IT managers to collaborate management ideas. Since I'm making this site free, it's especially for IT managers in OSS/LAMP environments. The front page has no user system. It runs off my own custom code, which I'll probably open source soon. However, mscis.org now features a management community forum, powered by phorum. I'd like to invite all of you who:

 * Manage CIS personnel
 * Manage CIS projects
 * Make CIS-related decisions
 * Previously did any of the above
 * Aspire to do any of the above

My first topic/poll: Employee of the month programs - do they work?

Hopefully, I'll see several of you register and participate. Anyone can send this to other Linux/Unix user groups, or otherwise help me promote this site.

Site objectives (from the home page):

MSCIS stands for:

* Master of Science in Computer Information Systems – a degree held by MSCIS.org founder, Brandon Stout.
 * Model Spinal Cord Injury Systems – if you're an MD.
* Management Services for Computer Information Systems – for this website, unless it changes...

MSCIS.org has these goals:

 * Promote open source software and solutions
 * Seek make more opportunity for those that manage people in a CIS setting
* Sponsor a community for managers and CIS employees to discuss CIS management practices
 * Host professional CIS portfolios for members
* Sponsor open source projects, such as phpMyResume, the MSCIS.org Knowledgebase CMS, and an Addressbook database.

Perhaps MSCIS.org will become a non-profit web-hosting organization.

If you wish to join MSCIS.org, and participate in management discussions, please join our Phorum.
