One of the things I’ve taken on this year is a regular writing assignment for the Global WebSphere Community. If you’re a member of the community (and if you use or are interested in WebSphere products, you probably should join – it’s free to sign up – here’s a link to my profile), depending on your profile preferences you may have just received the first edition of The Sphere Journal, a new online newsletter from GWC.
As the editor, Bruce Lynch, writes:
Welcome to the premier issue of The Sphere Journal Online. We will use this space to bring you opinion, news, and technical information on how to use your current WebSphere products more effectively and help you make more informed decisions about WebSphere products you should be deploying in your organization.
My monthly column is the WebSphere Deep Diving Instructor where I’ll be sharing news from inside the labs about the “hot” areas practitioners might want to explore more deeply, and the areas where I’m hearing the most interest or difficult technical questions from customers and the community. My first column does focus on my key area of messaging, but we’ll certainly broaden out from that over the course of the year.
[somewhat confusingly, there’s also a section called The Message Queue, but that’s a news section rather than being specific to WebSphere MQ!]

This is pretty cool. My wife used to work at IBM and was also involved with WebSphere.
