Jean Georges Perrin - 11 Aug 2006 15:29 GMT Hi,
You all want to see Informix in the press, so help IIUG achieving this goal by sending the following information to me:
Name of journalist, e-mail, name of newspaper.
Thanks

Mike Badar - 11 Aug 2006 17:10 GMT I'm not sure what you want; make your selection from the following list:
1. Informix is in the press and you want to know who wrote the article and where; 2. Request a specific journalist write an article about Informix in a particular paper.

Any good computer magazine will do, simply contact their editor. Or write the article yourself and submit it.
I'm also curious that you would be doing the work that IBM, and the work that Informix people at IBM should be doing. Of course it would be a shocker that those lazy lumps of sh.t would do anything to promote the product. That would be a news story by itself.
Jean Georges Perrin - 14 Aug 2006 15:10 GMT Hi,
You're completely wrong.
IIUG has started a communications program and we send our Press Releases to the press. By "our press releases", I mean "our press releases", not the ones from IBM, not the ones from our sponsors, not the ones from Oracle.
IIUG is doing some communications to enhance its visibility in the Informix world and among the Informix users. Nothing else.
Now, I need contacts, of course, I could send it blindly to any editor of any news paper. Sure, the Tampa Gazette or whatever will be very thankful to me to send Informix news.
I need contacts within the IT press. As I live in France, I did the work of digging for journalists here and found quite a few of them. Now, I also read some of the foreign press, but surely not the UK press or the German press... I have friends in Taiwan and I know nothing about their editors.
I was hoping that this community could help me build a bigger network to help promote our organization.
That's why I need:
> > Name of journalist, > > e-mail, > > name of newspaper. (and basically, in the context of this program, I don't care what IBM is doing).
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Now, how about taking the 90-day timeout feature out of the download for Informix. I'm excited about Informix, interested in the product, so I go to download it like DB2.
I noticed DB2 does not have the 90-day timeout. I want the full download for Informix just like DB2, no timeout, same thing as if I bought it. Do I have the IIUG to thank for the 90-day timeout?
Neil Truby - 18 Aug 2006 14:20 GMT >> Sometimes wonders take a little bit longer: >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > for Informix just like DB2, no timeout, same thing as if I bought it. Do > I have the IIUG to thank for the 90-day timeout? My understanding is the opposite: about a year ago the IIUG and IBM withdrew free downloads for IDS because they *didn't* have the 90-day bomb which is standard for products emenating from IBM. They understandably didn;t want to retro-fit the bomb to old realeases but did include it in later 9.40, and 10 developments and reinstated the trial versions.
If you're saying that DB2 has had the bomb removed - that's news to me!
Jean Georges Perrin - 18 Aug 2006 14:29 GMT DB2 never had the bomb.
IIUG still offers 9.3/9.4 on Linux / Windows.

The IDS trial download disappeared without explanation from IBM site, and Stuart Litel was asked to do the same for the ones on the IIUG site. When pressed the explanation was that they didn;t contain the 90-day bomb and was thus not consistent with DB2.

DB2 always had a message pop up every time you started DB2, counting the days down from 90. Now, no DB2 build I work with in the lab ever lasts 90 days, so I don't know whether DB2 simply stops working or just keeps nagging after 90 days.

mark.scranton@gmail.com - 21 Aug 2006 15:47 GMT I know clearly what happened with the IDS download and the IIUG - both times this issue came up, it was vetoed by the IIUG president. Two different IBM resources worked very hard to get a "bomb-free" copy of IDS to post on the download sites. One was the IBM liason to the board at the time, the other the IDS product manager. In both cases, the IIUG president, Stuart Litel, vetoed doing the download the way that the 2 IBM resources had worked up. The first time, there was quite the argument about "users will not want to fill out forms to get the download...", and the idea went away. The IBM liason very shortly after left that post as she was very frustrated to have worked hard for many months to get a version that was available to the IIUG members, only to hit heavy resistance. The second time the "bomb-free" version was proposed by the at the time IDS product manager, again, Stuart vetoed it. I really can't remember the reason why now, but I'm sure it will surface in this thread eventually.
So in either case, IBM had offered a bomb-free download, only to get resistance from the IIUG president. I was there on both occassions, and if someone wants more detail, please contact me. I can get quotes from both resources if necessary.
I encourage the Informix community to press the IIUG board for answers on this. As Neil stated, he did press for answers, but did not get any.

Is this true, or did I miss that announcement somewhere? If not, why not?
Thanks - Mark.

Thanks for the information and background!
I am still not sure why a bomb-free version is not available outside the IIUG.
Can this also have some light shed on it? I don't need the IIUG to provide me with IDS, I simply want to download a bomb-free version from IBM. And quite honestly, when one looks at the competition, it baffles me why this is such an issue in today's market.
By the way, for what it's worth, check this out:
http://dev.mysql.com/
For those of you who think mysql is a joke, a few more releases and this product will be on a par with Informix, and without a time-out, license requirements, any of the nonsense put out by Christine or anyone else at IBM or the IIUG. It's not what _I_ say, it's out there standing on its own.
Thanks!

Christine Normile - 21 Aug 2006 19:36 GMT IBM did not need IIUG to offer it. IIUG made a special request to IBM to provide them with an EXCLUSIVE non-time bombed version for member download.
IBM did.
IIUG failed to offer it to members because of IBM's requirement to register for downloads of it's software.
I spoke with a senior IBM manager on Friday and asked that IBM look at offering the download themselves. As I stated in another post, the license does restrict use to IIUG members (again this was put in to provide IIUG a benefit not for any other reason and I did not feel it was too onerous since IIUG membership is no charge). Eventually, IBM could re-work the license, but that would take at a minimum until the next fixpack (the license has to get linked in).

Christine Normile - 18 Aug 2006 16:37 GMT The version of IDS v10 without the timeout was made available to the IIUG exclusively for IIUG members to download. IBM requires that individuals register when they want to download a product. Stuart Litel has refused to make the non-timelimited code available because of this IBM restriction (even though IBM was willing to provide the hosting service.)
It's interesting that you say you have trial code for DB2 that is non- limited. Could you please provide the link where you obtained it?

IDS Express needs to be offered as a free download just like DB2 express.

They can do what they like. For what it's worth I don't understand what user privacy has to do with a timebomb in the software but ok. I seem to recall that the IIUG version also was crippled in the number of connections or some other deliberate crippling. But it really doesn't matter, I want the real deal not some crippled crap. Hell I can get production ready databases for DB2, Sybase, Oracle, MySQL, there's no reason I should be using Informix if it's not the real deal.
Who cares what the IIUG did, what is IBM going to do?

Christine Normile - 21 Aug 2006 19:23 GMT I agree with you. IBM should provide IDS Express-C under the same terms and conditions as DB2 Express-C. It would help bolster interest in the product and raise it's visibility in the marketplace.

Gentsch, Sam - 18 Aug 2006 19:56 GMT If I remember correctly, the biggest concern of the board was protecting the IIUG members personal information, and IBM had to collect that information for some legal reasons so there was a conflict of responsibilities.
Stuart and the Board work very hard to keep our member information private. Which is in line with the Charter:
... Article XII. CODE OF ETHICS
A. IIUG membership information shall be kept confidential and shall be used only as approved by the Board of Directors of the Organization. ...
Hopefully, that was not a secret, but hell, both sides were in the right in their own way, and a lot of work was put into it by IBM, and a lot of thought and fairly heated discussion by the board.

In your statement, please substitute "Stuart Litel" by "the IIUG Board of Directors", also you description of the process lacks quite some points (and steps!) and a description of the situation! So please, be honest or refrain putting such statement in public.

All -
I was involved in the discussion about the "free version of IDS for the development community...." (Mar 2006 timeframe). It got axed due to a potential small loss of potential revenue. My response to the attendees was simple....I said "...we could can generate 100 times the revenue you are concerned about losing if we would quit saying the DB2 is better than XPS!". Some of the crowd wasn't amused, some I know agreed with me. Regardless, it did not change the plan NOT to offer a free version of IDS in the hopes of stimulating the developer community.
My comments got misconstrued and changed "dramatically" by someone eavesdropping on the call (and a a few of us are very aware of who that was), and by the time they got "up the ladder", all kinds of interesting things were being said.
So I was again disappointing at the nixing of a potential great marketing tool AND the chance to get IDS spread into the developer community. Would have been a great thing.
Thanks - Mark.

Thanks for your nice comment, but I am not responsible of it... I am working on positive articles as well :)...
