About Gentalk.biz

A few people have emailed me to ask about gentalk.biz – so here goes…..

I am a Gen user, and have been for 10+ years, and (most importantly) have no formal connection with CA or any of the companies that I may mention in these pages…. of course I have friends in some of these organisations – the Gen community is reasonably small !

I went to CA World in Las Vegas in 2007, and was inspired to set a up a Gen blog – there didn’t seem to be one – and so gentalk.biz was born (it was previously hosted on gentalk.wordpress.com – a free hosting site for blogs).

Since September 2007, it has been hosted here at gentalk.biz.

The site is funded purely by me, which is why there is a Donation button and I have started selling mugs and so on to get some funding to keep it going.

Most importantly, the site is the result of my own views and experiences of Gen – I will of course promote “EDGE”, and all that it stands for, since I believe that a strength of any software product is its users – EDGE is where its at for a formal user group. I do also welcome discussions in these pages (thanks to everyone who has commented and given me ideas!) which can be seen as “independant” from EDGE, CA and all the other Gen-related organisations around the world.

What I say in these pages is not endorsed by my employer and/or any other organisation – so I can be objective, but would welcome any contributions or news items from any Gen-related organisation – hence the newsfeeds on the site.

The aim of gentalk.biz is to become an informal discussion and comment platform for Gen and its direction, good and bad points etc.

Hope this clears it up – more comments from the community = more content = more community = more comments from the community etc etc !
