The LUG Board reviews each prospective member as a whole, considering the organization's IBM i environment, experience, and potential contribution to the community. The following guidelines help begin that evaluation.
LUG membership is intended for companies that operate and directly manage substantial IBM i environments supporting corporate business functions.
Current minimum guidelines are:
A significant number of partitions and servers are being managed.
High Availability and Disaster Recovery infrastructure is in place.
The organization demonstrates a commitment to staying current, adopting modern technologies, and exploring new ways to extend the capabilities and business value of the IBM i platform.
Membership should benefit both the prospective member and the LUG community.
Complete the form below and we'll send you the application and additional information.
The LUG currently has a limited number of memberships available, and prospective organizations are invited to apply.
Membership requires a LUG-specific non-disclosure agreement between IBM and the member company. IBM may share information about plans and strategies during LUG activities. Member companies aren't expected to disclose their own confidential information.
The LUG is organized, incorporated, and operated by its members for the common benefit of LUG members and IBM. It is not an IBM organization. The LUG determines its membership, and the Board reserves the right to limit the number of member companies.
