Start a new Power AIX User Group

Step 1
Search to find out whether or not there is already a PowerAIX User Group in your area. A Power AIX may be closer than you think and may be willing to expand to include your participation and your location. A list of local user groups -- including description, contact, and meeting information -- can be found in the Find a User Group section of this site.

In cases where there is no local Power AIX User Group, it is still useful to know where the nearest user groups to you are located. You will find it worthwhile to contact them for information, assistance, and to make them aware of your new user group and its activities.

Register your Power AIX User Group

Step 2
Registering with Group Intelligence, the IBM contracted coordinator of this Global Power AIX Community website. The central registration records your unique group details and establishes you as the group leader. You are also registered as the contact point for User Group initiatives, events, and future benefits. The registration also creates awareness of group locations, thus informing others of opportunities to establish new groups.

To register, please complete the User Group Information Data Sheet and e-mail to: info@poweraix.org. If you are not currently a Global Power AIX Community member you will need to register on the site in order for us to process your Data Sheet.

Group Intelligence will post your information on the Global Power AIX Community website. Within 2 business days an IBM representative will be contacting you to help start up your Power AIX user group. As the user group leader, you will be automatically notified when people join your user group. Please make sure to welcome every new member with an email. (See a sample welcome email.)
