[Info-vax] Looking to find a way to pull all the Open Source / Freeware folks together

[Bill Pedersen]

JF:

This is sort of along the lines I am looking at is to get more use out of
OpenVMS.org.  I have made some proposals around and other ideas to get more
exposure and to look at increasing the capabilities of the site.
Unfortunately Ken Farmer is VERY BUSY with things other than the site.

I think it is doubtful that HP will direct significant funds that direction.
There may be some occasionally but not anything major.  Better that the
OpenVMS Community figure out how to put more effort into the site.
Supporting Ken with advertizing and or tech support.

Bill.
