IBM U2 Marketing does provide some information to the U2UG board
regularly.  You can send any questions you have for IBM to

They do have some excellent sales people related to U2, but I suspect
there might still be IBM sales reps who don't seem to have heard of
it.  The issue is that U2 is sold to VARs.  One of the questions the
U2UG board has asked IBM is about their plans for getting new VARs. 
If there is no obvious external marketing outside of the VAR or
broader MV space, how do you attract new VARs?  While the board has no
specific answer to the question, we do have reason to be optimistic
that this a question that IBM as already (before we asked) been
addressing.

This list, u2-community, cdp (comp.databases.pick) plus jBASE, OpenQM,
and Revelation lists.  There might be other discussion lists related
to MV/Pick too.  Cheers!  --dawn
