DB2 Express C University Program
DB2 Express C University Program
Last May I visited several Brazilian universities delivering speeches about DB2 Express-C. The feedback I received was excellent!. This convinced me to start a project I called the "DB2 Express-C University Program". Ive been running this program worldwide since June 2006. By December 2006 I had reached almost 8000 students and teachers!. The program is self-sustainable through its "child" program called "The DB2 Student Ambassador program". You can read more about these programs at our DB2 Express-C Web site . I have posted several pictures of the 2006 University Tour at this site.
For 2007, I will be visiting Argentina in February, Japan in March, and China in April. Im still working out the schedule for other universities worldwide throughout the year. I plan to blog after each visit to a country/city.
Cheers, Raul.

DB2 on Campus program in China
DB2 on Campus program in China
Last Friday I finished my first tour in China for year 2007. This time I visited 10 universities in 8 cities reaching approximately 1000 students and teachers. China is a large and great country. I am always amazed every time I visit its universities; most of them include a hospital, a hotel, many restaurants, and of course many classrooms and labs. I believe the smallest university I visited had 20,000 students, and the largest 60,000!. In China I normally get large attendance to my speeches and courses. The largest one was 300+ students at SCUT. University infrastructure in China is just as amazing as the desire for Chinese students to learn more and improve themselves. China is where my grandparents came from, but unfortunately, I dont speak Chinese, so Im always in trouble when dealing with the locals (eg: Ordering at a restaurant). Closing my eyes and pointing to the menu has served me well so far =). As part of the DB2 on Campus program for the rest of the year, local IBMers may be able to replicate the program. Im also hoping DB2 User Groups start flourishing. Some universities such as Xian JiaoTong University, Wuhan university of technology, and Jilin university are working to set up their DB2 User groups and Web sites. I hope to collect their URLs soon and post them in the DB2 Express-C web site.

Hello everyone,
We have decided to rename the "DB2 Express-C University Program" to "DB2 on Campus Program". The new name is shorter, and it reflects the visits my team is doing to universities... I will start blogging my visits for 2007.

DB2 on Campus program in Malaysia
DB2 on Campus program in Malaysia
From April 16th, 2007 until the 20th I had the chance to visit several universities in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Malaysia is a very beautiful country with many trees and excelent infrastructure. Two university DB2 User Groups were set up during my visit. One at MMU, and the other one at the University Technical Malaysia Malacca (UTeM). At UTeM, Lang Ley, the first DB2 Student Ambassador in Malaysia will promote the DB2 on Campus program to not only her university, but other universities. I will be featuring Lang Ley in the DB2 Express-C Web site in a couple of weeks as she has also developed a useful application using PHP and DB2 Express-C. The picture is from my speech at MMU with about 100+ student attending.
