> 
>      - Let VSI get a better view of their installed base needs
>      - Help ISVs to better understand VMS customers expectations
>      - Identify needs and trigger initiatives (ISVs, opensource)
>      - Allow everyone to know if others have the same needs and 
> encourage communities of interest

> Our next user group meeting will take place in April.
> We plan to cover the following subjects :
> 
>      - Services and competencies around VMS
>      - How to react when expertise goes away and how to allow

>      - Illustration by recent customers projects
>      - VMS on x86 : first try and portings
>      - Survey on the use of VMS : answers synthesis
>      - Survey on applications : first results

We have now an english version of the first analysis of our first survey 
(uses of VMS):

(At that time the survey was in french, so only french answers. Now 
everyone is welcomed to give his vision).
