Technology experts would be presenting on how WebSphere or related Web technology can be used to better serve the needs of an organization.

We have new awards for members who actively participate in the user group, make presentations, share their knowledge and help fellow members with WebSphere technologies.

We also have a community projects group that would implement free software projects for non profit and community organizations using open source tools such as WebSphere Server Community Edition and Eclipse.
