Please feel free to connect. The first session of this Rendez-vous is in 
English: Mark Daniel (creator of the WASD web server) will be the first 
speaker.

On the agenda: x86 porting, feedback on projects with the intervention 
of external skills, the circle of experts, dialogue with VSI.

After a previous meeting dedicated to the hardware resources needed to 
run VMS, we are now focusing on the skills provided by experts as well 
as on the customer feedbacks from a few projects.

This meeting will start with Mark Daniels from Australia who will 
present his experience with the x86 port of the WASD web server. As the 
lead developer of WASD, Mark Daniels is a widely recognized expert in 
the VMS environment. His testimony on porting to x86 is of high value as 
the production version of VMS/x86 arrives soon.

Mark’s presentation will be given in English.

We will then address the issue of the availability of VMS expertise and 
skills in France, through the presentations of a circle of experts 
contributing to VMSgenerations. Each project presented will include a 
customer testimonial.

This will also be the occasion to announce the new pages dedicated to 
professionals on the vmsgenerations.fr website. Any professional, 
consultant, developer or integrator will be able to present himself and 
illustrate his field of expertise in order to make the skills available 
on VMS visible.

Finally, we will keep the community informed on the status of the 
dialogue with VSI, which we continue to maintain, no matter how 
difficult it may be. There are questions from the installed base still 
unanswered or without satisfactory answer.  We will present the progress 
of this dialogue with VSI.
