Well what a nice day. 

Clear message about how Oracle are pushing forward with their products from Kevin Duffy, classic and RDB for VMS and ready to go x86-64 when available, and Dave Hayter explaining some of the challenges of porting and making code releases the same on multiple platforms.

Terry Holmes delivered a clear message about VSI directions and futures, and Camiel Vanderhoeven gave a great session on x86-64 progress so far. Ari de Groot gave an interesting presentation on putting VAX and Alpha into a cloud environment. Brett Cameron sparked an interesting bit of controversy over open source but clearly making "products" available on OpenVMS gives users more options and choice.

Was nice to catch up with a few familiar faces and one or two new ones too.
