I don't own openvms.org and have not heard from the owner for quite a long time. OpenVMSnews.com used to go to a site hosted by Island Computers but that broke and now is (temporarily?) redirected to vmssoftware.com 

A new site hosted by Island Computers is a possibility and could be called OpenVMSNews.com 

I was asking to see if there was any interest in a VMS news site separate from VSI.
