The Informix marketing request list has been updated reflecting the progress IBM made on our proposals: http://www.herber-consulting.de/cgi-bin/IfxMarkReq.pl

It would be good to know what the response was like from the last web-cast, such as how many ISVs and commercial software developers not only participated in the webcast, but how many conversions they had in terms of downloads, serious interest, or even new sales. It would also be good to know when IBM is going to release a 'free' database like they did for DB2. It looks like a lot of the right pieces are there, based on the latest email from the IIUG, but still lacking a real marketing push to get the market excited. IBM needs to reach out beyond the faithful if there is to be a real future for Informix.
