Morning breakfast ( Buffett) is free and had quite a good varietyof food. Drove to IBM site at which is behind the inn. Finished with Security and badging. Met two other residents from Sao Paulo, and Brazillia, Brazil ( Mario and Sergio ). It was a 11 hour flight for them from Brazil to US. Mario is IBM level 2 support for Banque De Brazil. Sergio was not really good in english.
Met with the residency leader Alex and Mike. Had lunch at the IBM cafeteria. The residency format is going to be fairly open and flexible which is nice that we are not really going to be constrained.
2 pm Orientation: Our residency leader Alex will be away for 2 weeks for some business trip. Mike will be taking over the residency project management. Tomorrow we are scheduled for 3 hour framemaker training. In the afternoon we will be finalising the scenarious for the redbook ( Hopefully we will have the 4th person checked in by then)
This site is where IBM makes its z/os machines. IBM System Z9 machine at the lobby. Not sure if it is a skeleton or working model though....

The walls are decked with many many Redbooks published from this site on one side and many many redbook residency leaders on the other side.
The Redbooks library and current ITSO residents. ( See if you can spot me ...)
