Residency Announcement:  AS-1324 HTTP Server for iSeries (Powered by
Apache)-Stage II

Benefits to Resident:

Strengthen your e-business environment by gaining practical experience
across all areas of iSeries Web serving.  Almost all e-business conducted
on the iSeries system is done via a Web server.  This core discipline will
be the primary residency focus.  Residents will also learn to better
articulate to your customers the future advantages and technical details of
several planned Web server enhancements.  The Services, IBM, and Business
Partner communities can surely leverage this early involvement.

In addition, this residency offers the opportunity to:

- Gain knowledge to explain and assist customers in implementing e-business
solutions focused on the Web server (where all good e-business solutions
start).

- Through direct discussions with the developers responsible for the design
and implementation of the iSeries, you will  acquire sophisticated
technical skills that are in very high demand in today's marketplace.

- Be part of the elite iSeries technical community, exchanging knowledge
and ideas with some of the world's top iSeries system experts.

- Learn about IBM plans and strategies, information that will help you to
provide strategic advice to the customers you support for the year 2001.

This Rochester residency begins 05 Mar 2001, ends 13 Apr 2001 (6 weeks),
and requires 4 residents.  Please submit nominations by 29 Jan 2001.  For
especially well qualified nominees, the dates and duration of this
residency are negotiable.



Description:

By the end of the year 2000 (planned availability date is 15 Dec 2000) the
iSeries will have a new Web server named IBM HTTP Server for iSeries
(Powered by Apache). Currently, Apache servers power over half of the
world's Web sites. This new Web server will not immediately replace IBM
HTTP Server for iSeries (original), but it will give our customers more
choices. These new choices require more education and a new Redpiece.

Objectives:

This project will update and finalize a presentation that was created at
the end of 2000 with hands-on labs that demonstrate the tremendous
advantage that iSeries brings to our customers in the area of Web servers.
In addition, you will create an ITSO Redpiece that will enable IBMers,
Business Partners, and our customers to start using IBM HTTP Server for
AS/400 (Powered by Apache) in pre-production environments.



This residency is suitable for Customers, Business Partners, and IBMers.

A basic requirement for all residents is the ability to read and clearly
express concepts and procedures in common English.

Resident Prerequisites:

All residents will be required to spend approximately 8 hours in
preparation work BEFORE coming to Rochester. This time will be spent in
study to best prepare you for the new features and products on the iSeries.
A wide range of skills are needed for the success of this residency and you
must be able to jump in and run right away.

Skill levels below are from 5 to 1, where 5 = expert skill and 1 = no
skill.

You personally do not have to have all of these skills to be considered a
good candidate for this residency.  The project leader will match your
skills with that of the other nominations to put together the best team
possible.

Important:  Even if you cannot be a resident now, perhaps you could provide
or point us to appropriate, already-existing materials as potential input
to our development efforts.  We would appreciate your help in identifying
any useful material that can be expanded, referenced, or included as is.
If the material significantly contributes to the produced redbook, we will
acknowledge your assistance and may even name the creator as a contributing
author.  We believe that your help will leverage the value of the
already-existing materials and will result in better redbooks produced in
shorter cycle times.



The ITSO Residency program has been honed over many years to provide the
maximum benefit to residents and their businesses.  IBM organizations,
Business Partners, and customers that have provided residents report that
the returning employee has gained significant new skills to enable them to
support IBM's latest products.  These skills can be employed either
directly for services generation or indirectly in technical support of the
sales effort.  Furthermore, the contacts made by the resident within the
development community and with the other residents are invaluable in
keeping these skills up-to-date.
