SE Michigan iSeries User Group - MITEC registration raffle

MITEC, SEMIUG, and Maxava have generously teamed together to donate for a raffle, five (5) FREE Registrations to the June 12th MITEC Conference. Each currently paid member Company or Individual will be automatically entered into the raffle for a chance to win one of the FREE registrations. NOTE: Sorry, but the FREE registration cannot be used as a credit for individuals who are already registered for MITEC 2012. Basically, this raffle is for members who might not normally be able to attend due to budgetary constraints.

Raffle Rules:

  1. All currently paid members of SEMIUG (as posted on our website) will automatically be entered into the raffle. Check our membership page to see if you are currently paid.
  2. If you are not currently paid, please mail in your SEMIUG membership form and dues before 05/22/2012, which is the last day we will check our PO Box.
  3. Only one of these FREE Registrations will be allowed for each Company or Individual member. It is the responsibility of a winning Company to determine which employee will receive their Registration (we recommend offering it to the employee who has attended the most meetings this year). Note: This cannot be used as a credit for the company sponsored individuals who are already registered for MITEC 2012.
  4. You do not have to be present at the May meeting to win.
  5. The first 5 names drawn will win the free Registrations, the remaining names will be drawn in sequence and be placed on a Waiting List.
  6. The 5 winners and the Waiting List sequence will be posted on the SEMIUG website immediately after the May meeting. If you were not present at the May meeting, be sure to check the website by May 25th, and contact Gerry Abela at , since we might not have your direct contact information.
  7. A raffle winner who declines MITEC attendance may only transfer their free MITEC registration to the next available name on the waiting list. If you were not at the meeting and won, contact Gerry A.S.A.P. and he will contact the next Waiting List member.
  8. All recipients must mail in their Free Registrations to MITEC as soon as possible and no later than 05/31/2012. Any Free Registrations not received by this date will be forfeited to the next available on the waiting list.

  9. One last thing. If you already know that you cannot attend MITEC and do not want to be entered into the raffle, please let Gerry know before May 22nd.

Good Luck to you all!!!

Dear Members:

We have a great hands on activity planned for the May user group meeting. Your time will be well spent joining in. Jim Cooper will be presenting providing learning on Ajax, Json, Jquery and an RPG component. Please note the earlier meeting start time. The time was moved to allow for plenty of time for members to dig in and learn.

MITEC is well under way. Don't miss the big event on Tuesday June 12th 2012. Early bird rates are good through May 26th. You don't want to miss this power packed day of education. The event features an opening session by Tracy Smith of IBM Rochester addressing future trends and directions for Power systems. There is something sure to be of interest for everyone. Choose from over 40 sessions including; PHP, HMC, disaster recovery, RPG, XML, RDp, Rational, Web Query, BRMS, virtualization, cloud and much more. Come see Scott Klement, Paul Tuohy, Debbie Suagen, Larry Bolhuis, Brian May, Alan Seiden, Charles Guarino, Jackie Jansen, Kushil Munar, John Bizon and other leading industry experts present current topics. A day well spent and great learning value all in our own back yard. The event will be held at the Schoolcraft College Vistatech Center located in Livonia Michigan. Food for the event will be provided by the Schoolcraft College Culinary Institute. As a user group member you are also provided an additional discount. Please visit the conference web site www.gomitec.com for more details. Make sure to register today for this awesome day of education!!

Plans are in the works to expand the Hands on LUG activity to include other groups. We are planning for a repeat PHP project and Web Query project this fall. The hands on activity is a great way for user group members to learn new skills working on a live project. If your organization is interested in submitting a potential PHP or Web query project for the hands on activity contact Laura at .

Our June meeting will consist of a presentation on Common certification offerings. What certifications are provided and why you may want to consider certification. Common provides associate and professional business certifications and also has recently added an RPG certification test. The presentation will be followed by testing. The certification tests will be offered to LUG members at a very discounted rate.

We look forward to seeing you at our exciting May meeting and at MITEC 2012.

Regards,
Laura
