This concept was later generalized into package that is available both via sourceforge (first as mkinstallp, now as buildaix) and also via a new portal for AIX tools - named (alias ). After having made a few versions of a script to automate the generation of the mkinstallp template Michael first developed a set of scripts that were included in the Apache HTTPD project (versions 2.2 and 2.4) to build and package httpd for AIX with a single command - build/aix/buildaix.ksh. In 2007 - following the example of PWARE (now extinct it seems) software site's practice of packaging software in INSTALLP format, rather than RPM - and starting experimenting with the AIX development (packaging) tool - mkinstallp. Starting back with AIX 4.3.3 - in 1998 Michael has been busy with porting open-source packages - in particular Apache and PHP - to have an AAMP (AIX, Apache, Mysql, PHP) stack that the sites can run on (prior to 2001 the focus was to better understand development and porting issues).

In 2006, John asked Michael to takeover the rootvg domains as webmaster, and in 2014 Michael became owner of the domains. In this period Michael assisted both with technical advice and content. When Erik changed careers he sold the URL to John Peck - an ex-IBMer who was well know for his testing site topcat2. In 2001 Erik Kluit, as a so-called guest instructor, started the first AIX portal as a contact point for students with questions after attending an IBM education class - in particular, the AIX System Administration I (at the time, course code AU14). 2009-present Managing Consultant - Lab Services and Training - for AIX and POWER.2001-2005 curriculum manager for IBM i (was OS/400).Country (Netherlands and Belgium) curriculum manager.1996-2002 full-time instructor and course development AIX.
