"Hello AS500.world!"

AS500 is an application built on IBM i, the modern platform that inherited the AS/400 legacy.

This project is an effort to think about what the IBM i could be.. where we go from here.

And what the fantastic communitity that we have can do to make that happen.

AS500 is about:

  • Recognizing that IBM can't do it alone.
  • Cathedrals and Bazaars.
  • Knowing that a vibrant community has both.
  • Fixing things ourselves that we've traditionality looked to Rochester for.

Which things?

Take a look at the project page for starters. It's a bit rough, but please take that as an opportunity to contribute. If you see an issue that captures your interest, please consider commenting or staring it even if you can help contribute more.

We can do this, if we're willing to share our ideas, and some of our time.

Thanks for reading... now let's go wag that long tail!

AS500: It's not just about i anymore.
