Pledges received to fund an EMEA declaration advert.
The launch of the iManifest initiative in Japan has generated an unprecedented level of buzz in the worldwide IBM i community. In July 2009 MyMidrangeMeddle blogger, Martin Fincham, offered to kick-start such an initiative in EMEA by helping to construct the board and committing some seed funding. The initial response was overwhelmingly positive and some community evangelists immediately stepped forward to pledge their support.
We now need vendors from the IBM i community in Europe, the Middle East and Africa to come forward and agree to participate in funding and forming iManifest EMEA.

iManifest Japan
A
group of over 70 IBM partners and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs)
has joined forces in Japan – the world?s second largest IT
market – to launch the IBM i Manifest initiative. The coalition
has three main objectives:
- To revitalize the IBM i market in Japan and increase the customer base.
- To assure IBM i customers, resellers and ISVs selling IBM i solutions that IBM i will not only survive but continue to prosper.
- To inform the wider IT community of the unique value proposition of the IBM i server.
