    For anybody wanting to know a little more about LUG (Large User Group) and its relationship with IBM, here is a PODCAST you can listen to ...This was recently recorded between IBM and two of LUG's co-chairs. 

    https://listen.casted.us/public/95/You%2C-Me%2C-and-IBM-i-5830defe/0fc377fd

    (full disclosure....I've been going to LUG for aprox 19 years now....)

    Basic requirements to join LUG are at https://www.ibmilug.ihost.com/membership/

    Since I only have 17 partitions of IBM i across just three Scale Out servers I do not qualify.

    Robert - I can't say you qualify or not...and I'm on the board. What I can say is that if you listen to the podcast, you will hear Dave and Dutch talk about how the numbers alone don't dictate the approval. Other companies that have not met the requirements in full have been let in as well. If you are interested in pursuing, fill out the application..tell us 'your story' and why you feel like LUG could benefit from your participation.
