October 1st is not just the anniversary of Alexander the Great’s triumph at Gaugamela. It’s not just the birthday of Jimmy Carter. It’s not just the National Day of the PRC.
It’s also the online community action day. It is the day when we comment, we respond, we link, and we blog. It is the day when we go on a forum, like the DB2 Express forum, and answer just one question. It is the day when we pass on the urls of good sites, perhaps PlanetDB2 or ChannelDB2, to our friends and colleagues. It is the day when we find the blog posts that helped us solve an intractable question and say “Thanks! Gracias! Paldies! Spasibo!”
