[Info-vax] VSI presentations today.

[Jan-Erik Söderholm]

Hi.

Was earlier today at the Swedish HP-Connect VMS-SIG annual
meeting, and there was some presentations from the Swedish
VSI office. It was said that the presentation material would
be made available in some way, but here are a few notes...

Jan-Erik.

On the way:
- CSWS based on V2.4-38
- Samba based on 4.6.5
- OpenSSL 1.1.1 "a couple of weeks away"
- New IDE based on "MS VS Code". Free of charge.
- WebUI. Web interface to common VMS mgr tasks.

"Over the nest months":
- "Low-cost cluster", wasn't commented further, as I remember.
- VSI TCPIP 10.6

"First boot is hours away". Number of hours not specified...
I think that estimate was a couple of weeks to a month.

Screen shots of VMS booting up to SYS$LOGINOUT in STARTUP was
shown, and the DCL prompt is just around the corner.

New IDE:
- Get MS VS Code from MS.
- Get VMS extentions from "MS MarketPlace".
- No additional softare on VMS, all done through SSH.
- See https://www.vmssoftwaretraining.com/wiki/VMS_IDE for info.

Info from HPE:
- HPE stops selling "HPE VMS".
- Talkes to get HPE to become a "VSI Reseller" to support current cust.
- HPE has an interest in VSI and VMS to succedd, due to royalties from VSI.

VSI quickly commented on "Hobbyist licenses".
- It is "in the works".
- Maybe a self-service portal with free downloads.
