Calling all real-world Software Delivery Heroes

Every day, the Rational User heroically teams with IBM Rational to combat the evil forces of information isolation, data overload, poor processes, and barriers to distance and language. In our eyes, this makes you more than just Ordinary Heroes -- it makes you. . . R-Heroes! But, we know that winning in today's geographically distributed world takes more than just individual heroics. It takes Collaboration! Effective Organizational Ability! Teamwork! Once again, it's time to join the League of Extraordinary Software Developers at the IBM Rational Software Development Conference 2008, June 1 - 5, at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel. Yes, Rational User, look to the skies! The R-Signal is sweeping across the clouds with the challenge: R-U Ready To Save The Day?
