Hello Aperi community!
I am moving into the neighborhood and am glad to meet you all. I will
be working with the Aperi community on our next steps. I will be taking
over for Brenda Haynes, who started this community, as she has moved on to
other opportunities.
I welcome your input on what you think we need to do in Aperi. I am
reviewing the results of our recent survey and roadmap as I get started.
Please send me your input (to russell.warren@xxxxxxxxxx) or comments (or
just send me a note to say hello, 'the welcome wagon ', so I know that you
are an active member of the community.
As I unpack my boxes and move into the community, we will be setting up
regular community calls. I do have some ideas on where we can focus
ourselves and make Aperi successful in the marketplace. I have worked on
several open standards groups, including IETF and Desktop Management
Taskforce (now called the Distributed Management Taskforce) and worked
with IBM's partners through several partner programs, including the
NetView association and the Tivoli Plus programs.
I would like to find the best forum for the community to have active
discussions and interchanges. Please let me know what you prefer (my
favorate would be via a BLOG). We can also have conference calls or use
other venues to keep in touch and work together in the community.
Thanks for reading my first post and I look forward to working with you
on the Aperi project!
