Rumors are circulating that Lotus/Mike Rhodin plans to pull the plug on the Lotus Redbook center. This can’t and must not be true… Be sure to chime in over at the Business Controls Caddy…

Mikkel, completely agree. This is a crazy decision, and one that will only have a negative impact on the Lotus community.
Therefore, I have taken the step of creating an online petition requesting signatures to the following text:
"We believe that ITSO Redbooks are an essential aid to the Lotus and Websphere Portal community, that more Lotus Redbooks are required for new products such as Notes/Domino8, Quickr and Connections, and that they should continue to be published in the future."
If you anyone wishes to sign the petition it can be found at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/lotusredbooks – if you agree with the statement please sign the petition and publicise this as much as possible via your blogs, online communities and personal relationships.
Thanks, Stuart
PS. Interesting you link to Mike Rhodin’s blog… What a fanfare there was when that was launched back at Lotusphere…
The link to Mikes blog was a joke for the same reasons you mention…
