Common Open Source

Common Belgium is happy to invite you on the first Common event of 2017. It will be a day of innovation and tradition. First we have innovation: you will see how new technologies, open source tools and Linux are implemented on IBM i and IBM Power. Then we have tradition: is anything more part of our culture and heritage than a visit to a brewery followed by a beer dinner?

The agenda for this event is built around the increasing possibilities of Open Source tools, applications and Linux on IBM i without forgetting the latest IBM i 7.3 announcements.

This New Year reception is wholly free for members and non-members.
Fill in the evaluation form before dinner to receive a prize and qualify to win a free registration to COMMON Europe Congress, 18-21 June, Brussels, Belgium.
* Free CEC registration prize only for COMMON Belgium paid members of 2016 or 2017, by 31st March.

Looking forward to seeing you in great numbers,
COMMON Belgium Board
