Tags :Partnerworld community spaces
Look for a podcast with Kathy Mandelstein of IBM, Director, Worldwide Developer Programs this afternoon on this announcement. The link to the new spaces is at the bottom of the announcement.
IBM developerWorks community spaces
developerWorks community spaces initiative is a unique business channel
that will provide an open platform for developers to build communities
around a broad range of technology topics and business trends. Effective
immediately, twelve community topics are available. Members will also be
able to sign up for the opportunity to create and lead their own
communities, based on their areas of interest.
Users can now tap into a global network of developer brainpower and gain
access to customized resources, participate in online forums, business
discussions and virtually collaborate to develop applications and explore
joint business opportunities. There is no charge for participating in
developerWorks community spaces.
As part of the announcement, one of the first technology communities will
be Software as a Service. IBM is building on a community approach to
develop a common platform for companies looking for direction on new
technologies such as SaaS. The SaaS Community within developerWorks will
allow companies to set up a dynamic profile page describing their business
and solutions. The intent is that other companies and customers will use
the profiles to locate prospective business partners and software vendors.
The website will also offer information on what is happening in the SaaS
industry including events and new entrants into the market.
Additionally, the new collaborative venue will serve as a business network
that will allow companies be able to set up profile pages describing their
business with the intention of allowing other companies and customers to
view that profile to locate prospective business partners and generate new
business opportunities.
Availability
Effective immediately, IBM is launching twelve new communities through
developerWorks community spaces including: Software as a Service,
service-oriented architecture (SOA), game development and virtualization.
