Compuware debuts developer blogs
Compuware launched 17 employee blogs, authored by the company's DevPartner and OptimalJ product employees. The portal page says:
These blogs are intended to stimulate thought, foster discussion and encourage debate. It is our collective hope that the Compuware Blogs become an important contribution to the software industry.
The site also sports a disclaimer:
The authors who post to this site are employed by Compuware Corporation. The opinions expressed here are the author's own and are not reviewed in advance by anyone other than the individual author. The opinions do not necessarily reflect the position of Compuware or any other third party.
The blogs are geared toward fellow software developers, and read as such:
UML is mainly geared towards OO technologies. UML is less suited for areas that are not OO-based, such as Relational database model, Web, Cobol-structures, etc. Luckily, for a number of these areas, there are other standard MOF-based model-languages available, such as the Common WareHouse Model (CWM).
Peter Karmanos Jr., Compuware's chairman and CEO, would make an excellent blogger. Karmanos has a history of colorful interviews with the media, and using a blog to promote his views and refute any negative coverage should be a no-brainer.

Hi Tonja,
Just wanted to clarify that not all of the Compuware blogs are geared toward the developer. Mine, at least, is geared more toward the development manager or business person.
This, of course, leaves the door open for other business focused Compuware blogs. I agree, one from Peter would be something to tune in for.
Thanks,
Gary Dykstra
