DECUS became Encompass which became Connect  
(http://connect-community.org/), which is very active as a user group.  
Connect works with HP on annual conferences, including HP Technology Forum  
(http://www.hptechnologyforum.com) in North America, and the OpenVMS  
Bootcamp (http://www.connect-community.org/?page=OVMSBootcampHome), both  
events where any customer is able to provide direct feedback to  
Engineering on what features are needed. They've also been actively  
reaching out to customers with a survey of what is desired in V.next. You  
can also send e-mail to OpenVMS.Programs at hp.com.
