I'm happy to share that I'm an #IBM champion for #POWER again, for the fourth time! As usual, my focus is #opensource on Power, but I am happy to share any interesting Power news.

I'm an IBM Power Champion for 2022

I’m happy to announce that I became an IBM Power Champion for the year 2022. This blog is long overdue, however with the conflict raging in our neighbor country, Ukraine, I just did not feel the strength to write about anything. In this blog I try to introduce myself and share my plans for this year. But before doing so, let me share my new badge with you: IBM Champion 2022 badge My background My title at work is “Open Source Evangelist” and Power does not appear anywhere in my job description.

A few more #Power and Power-related t-shirts from my collection :-) One is from #Genesi, another one from #NVIDIA, and one from the #OpenPOWER Foundation. All document the history of #IBM POWER!

Some more Power t-shirts

Recently I posted about two of my Power t-shirts. Many people responded. Some wanted to get one of the t-shirts from me, others asked me what else do I have. I cannot give you the t-shirts, but I can show you a few more :-) I must admit that only one of them has Power printed on it, but the other two are also Power-related. Genesi t-shirt The oldest t-shirt is from Genesi.

I’m off to Las Vegas for #IBMTechXchange! Looking forward to meeting fellow #IBMChampions, not just IBM Z people.

Recently I was at @EuroBSDCon where several participants recognized that I am a #POWER guy, one of the #IBMChampions. I got the usual question: is there anyone working on an #affordable and #OpenSource friendly POWER machine?

POWER for open source enthusiasts: what is coming?

Recently I was at EuroBSDCon, where several participants recognized that I am a POWER guy. And they were right, I have been an IBM POWER Champion focusing on open source software on POWER for the past three years. Talos II POWER9 mainboard I got the usual question from people: is there anyone working on an affordable and open source friendly POWER machine? My answer was a definite yes, but also had to admit that I do not know the actual status for any of the projects.

I'm happy to share that I received the "#IBM Contributor 2024" #badge from IBM. You can verify it at:
