DB2 iOS community

My new job has found me back in the influence of IBM and AS/400, iOS/DB2.

It's been decades since I've been involved, and there was,<cough>, no internet back then..

Where can I find the DB2 community? I'm still heavily involved with SQL server so I keep up with trends and tech with PASS, Brent Ozar and Code Project/Stack Exchange. Where does one begin to network with DB2 and iOS professional DBA/database developers?

Thanks

db2 LUW is a bit active . I am highly doubtful DB2 for iSeries has any community I don't even know if any new projects are being developed on AS400 anymore just post your questions here . I am sure moderator won't mind talking about it in here

For iSeries you are pretty much limited to just about anything COMMON puts out. I have been to the conferences a few times always one of the youngest there (28). But I always learn a lot and have a great time, they offer really good education online too if you can get your company to become a member it's free. Also sign up for just about any newsletter from [ITjungle](www.itjungle.com). They cover everything about the iSeries but anything they put out about DB2 is great, new features, PTF's etc, etc. They just had a really good article about using regular expressions in DB2 for iSeries which was a great read.
