---------------------------------------------------------------------
From time to time, IBM accepts applications from qualified individuals
interested in writing on various computer-related topics. IBM's ITSO
(International Technical Support Organization) publishes the famous
"redbooks," written by the residents participating in its various programs.
If you are a highly qualified individual, skilled in OS/2 Warp and/or Java
related topics, you may wish to apply for one of these residences. Usually
residents are asked to help write a new IBM redbook (or create a new edition
of a previous title). Residents work hand-in-hand with IBM experts, including
developers, and consequently often get advance information on new products.
(Confidentiality, of course, is expected during the residency.) IBM often
pays all direct expenses (travel, living, equipment, and/or materials) during
the residency, which can be either on-site (in Austin, Texas) or remote.
Residents gain valuable working knowledge (which they can apply to their own
businesses) and, of course, resume-boosting publishing experience (to help
increase employment prospects at many technology companies). Naturally,
residents are credited in the "redbook."
If you are interested in applying for such a residency, and you believe you
have the qualifications, please feel free to contact Timothy Sipples by
Internet mail at tsipple@us.ibm.com. I'm interested in hearing from people
with experience in OS/2 Warp, OS/2 Warp Server, Java (particularly on those
platforms), networking with OS/2 Warp, WorkSpace On-Demand, and other related
topics. The following current residencies *may* be available to qualified
individuals outside of IBM:
- Experiences with OS/2* Warp 4 Enterprise CID
- Warp Server Functional Enhancements (Part 2)
- Java on OS/2 Warp
