This is a very exciting program that IBM have launched. It broadens on the skill-set required to be considered as part of the program, thanks primarily to Bluemix’s Ecosystem.
I’ll have submitted all my nominations by this week. It would be great if many of you could do the same…it only takes a few minutes really helps IBM with their decision making at the end of the day.
