Working through IBM partners and getting the partners to handle co-ordination with IBM via their established relationships often works best.

I talked with Devrim during last pgconf.eu about the opportunity to have IBM
providing a POWER server and even some feedback about their gcc toolkit, optimized for POWER7 and POWER8.

I had no answers to my mails since then, when trying to get people from IBM= in
touch with Devrim :(
