Happy Monday, everyone. Before I dive into all of the great stuff that has been and will be happening in our various mainframe communities, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for an amazing 2019.
It's been a bit of a rollercoaster with the transition to Broadcom and the subsequent migration of our communities from the old platform to this one. Was the migration perfect? No -- but they never are and we continue to address issues as we find them. I can see just based on the activity in the system that you continue to find value here and that's always the goal -- to provide you with value.
Any time that any approaches me about something new in the community, my first question is always "What value will this provide for our customers?" That's the key for me and if they answer isn't a good one, you'll never see it here.
Anyway -- thank you for your continued contribution to our ever-growing community of mainframe users. There are big things coming both for the platform and for these communities. Thank you for being such a big part of it.
And now...onto the updates from across our 70+ communities!
