...well, fame at least. Most of you likely know Bob Thomas' two publications Mainframe Executive <http://www.mainframe-exec.com/> and z/Journal <http://www.zjournal.com/>; Bob's been publishing mainframe magazines for decades, starting with 4300 Quarterly, then Mainframe Journal, then Enterprise Systems Journal, before the current two titles.
Along with other articles, I write site profiles (also called case studies or success stories) highlighting how businesses/organizations use mainframe computers to solve real-world business problems. They're typically three or so magazine pages long, often with a graphic or photo or two. They're an opportunity to be proud of accomplishments and highlight information technology wisdom, innovation, cost-effectiveness, efficiency, productivity, customer support, blah, blah, etc. This isn't investigative journalism and I'm not Mike Wallace. The goal is to share best practices but articles needn't reveal anything considered to be proprietary. I've written many dozen of these profiles -- from all reports, sites featured have enjoyed the process and been happy with resulting articles. Mainframe Executive needs a site profile for the next issue -- with a ridiculously tight deadline. So if your site is willing, please respond off-list. Even if you can't participate immediately, let me know if you're interested in exploring being profiled in the future. Remember, profiles need an angle or hook to attract reader interest -- so it's helpful to know what makes an installation interesting or unique, whether it's applications used, customers served, services provided, etc. Thanks... -- Gabriel Goldberg, Computers and Publishing, Inc.
