Arranged it with Kevin Keller, after I found out about it via Luis Suarez. Turned out to be a good idea, not only was I able to experience the extended version of Luis’ “Thinking out of the Inbox”, but also got some insights into IBMs mainframe business as a platform for business-critical applications. And yes, these may well include Enterprisey-2.0 stuff. And while I am still favorable of lightweight deployments, I can see their point, especially when coupled with the overall trends around virtualization, cloud computing etc. [...] [...] I had the pleasure to attend an IBM enterprise 2.0 workshop yesterday at the Böblingen Labs.

What a great suggestion, Sawada-san! We already have got plans for the evening with the folks from this workshop, but I am going to take note of that for the next time that I am in town as I am sure it won't be the last time I am back over here! Too nice to just be here a single time! Thanks for dropping by and for the lovely suggestion. Greatly appreciated! :-) WOW! What a great suggestion, Sawada-san!

Thanks for dropping by and for the feedback comments! Boeblingen is a really really nice place and so far I am enjoying it quite a bit. Great workshop discussing System z and Web 2.0 and the kind of impact it would have within the current workplace! Some really good stuff about changing behaviours and people's views on how to stay productive with all of these 2.0, still within the hardware space! Really nice! And tomorrow some more with "See the Ligh" road show! Wooohooo! Nice! Hi Sawada-san! Thanks for dropping by and for the feedback comments!

Thanks much for dropping by and for the kind feedback! <b>Keith</b>, I know what you mean. I am really looking forward to being in Boeblingen. It is one of the few IBM Labs I haven't visited in Europe and can't wait! It would be my first time in there and I am surely looking forward to checking out and hanging out with folks over there for the next couple of days! Really nice! I will let you know if I bump into Harry again, although I have some doubts he would still be there ... We shall see :-) heh <b>Martin,</b> that's just EXCELLENT!!! Really glad to know you will be in Boeblingen for the workshop and FINALLY we would be able to catch up properly with things! We tried two times already and it was not enough! I need more! hehe Hey, really great that you will be there as well and glad to read Kevin could accommodate. Looking forward to that! With regards to the WikiWednesday Stuggart, I think I would be able to make it... I am doing another session on Wednesday afternoon probably finishing at around 5 to 5.30 pm CET, so if it takes place after that it sounds like a great opportunity to come over! And I am IN for the drinks, too! See if that would change my thoughts about Stuttgart ;-) hehe By the way, I guess I can bring in some more folks with me, right? I will get in touch with you later on tonight in Twitter, if it is back up, if not will give you a quick phone call... Thanks again for dropping by and look forward to the events! Way too much fun awaiting us! :D Hi folks! Thanks much for dropping by and for the kind feedback! Keith, I know what you mean. I am really looking forward to being in Boeblingen.

Looking forward to the event. If you and any IBM colleagues are interested in the WikiWednesday Stuttgart, it's due Wednesday evening in Stuttgart city (and there are some nice places nearby to have a beer or two with the local enterprise 2.0 guys).
