Ed, I don't think that any one outside of IBM will ever get close to having a full and complete list. But I will take a shot at it realizing that it will never be perfect..
I am sure that there will be shops out there that do not want to be mapped, but my intentions is not to "out" them. This is purely a list to help potential jobseekers in there search for available positions. That is why I include a link to the career sites on the entries. The other problem that I see with this list, and any other list, is that it will never be complete. With mergers and acquisitions, mainframes being phased and outsourcing happening all the time it will always be a moving target. But that is even more of a reason to attempt a list like this because it is these actions that makes us loose jobs and I hope that this list will be able to help.
