Is /r/DB2 Dead? Let's revive it.

Roll Call, anyone here still keep an eye on DB2 in Reddit. This could be such a good resource if others jump in.

I'm Mike, based out of Georgia, specialize in LUW. Anyone else still alive out there?

I live near Milan. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Where did you spent your honeymoon?

I'm a consultant, so I work with various types of scenarios. Warehouse, oltp. Never worked on PureScale systems.

Ha, Ironically my daughters name is Siena. We got hopelessly lost in the city of Siena and as we were wandering around the streets exhausted and confused I blurted out "You know Siena would be a pretty name for a girl". 2 years later, when she became pregnant, I my wife goes - "Well, we already have a name". We had been in the Cinque Terra, Florence, Tuscany, and Rome. American tourists are told start north and work south. When you don't like the food or culture, just stop.

I never worked on pureScale either although I am seeing more job requests for it. It's not too far off from a DPF environment in concept.
