FREE WEBINAR FOR ALL

Dear Common Belgium members and all IBM i and Power enthusiasts,

COVID pandemic still challenges us but doesn't stop us. Common Belgium continues its mission of educating the IBM i community, and now through virtual sessions.

Attend to discover the gems from some Application Development and System Management experts. The 2 sessions will include, and not only, the following topics:
* How IBM i still fits in IBM's cloud and AI approach of Application Development - DevOps, Microservices, SQL ... and the list continues.
* What happened in Infrastructure and System Management after 7.4 was released - NVMe (the new internal disk proposition), Encryption (TLS 1.3 and DCM), Content assist and formatting of the SQL scripting (ACS), Query supervisor, Virtual tape, Scott’s favorite SQL services, to name a few.
 
For Common Belgium members, and where non-members are highly welcome - we will start with a small General Assembly, a short presentation on past and future, the financial results and board elections.

Just join us and continue learning.
The COMMON Belgium Board.
