  • my website on Opensource ports to OpenVMS down

    From Jouk Jansen@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 2 07:44:09 2024
    Hi All,

    Due to the sudden death of the CLP, my website on ports of opensource
    software for OpenVMS, http://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software1.html
    will be down until I manage to get another license.

    My backup http://galop.nano.tudelft.nl/openvms/software1.html is still
    running until also on Itanium CLP will be finished.

    regards
    Jouk

    Quite frankly, I would advocate for you to NOT bring back any web site
    related to porting open source software to OpenVMS -- or provide any of
    your time or effort to port said software -- unless VSI reinstates a
    reasonable (installation media and LP kits) community license program.

    They have now demonstrated that they do not care about competent people
    who may be interested in OpenVMS, and as such the community shouldn't
    give VSI free resources.

    Obviously what you do with your time and energy is up to you, but I'd
    strongly encourage you and everyone else VSI may be relying on for free
    labor to take a stand.

    Thanks,
    Matthew

    Hooray!!! I got a license again.

    So the website http://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html is up
    again. The backup-servers will still be online for a while but the above
    link is the prefered one.

    Great news! I see the VSI OpenVMS Ambassador Program is getting underway. I got notice and an agreement to sign and my access to the VSI Service Platform is back. I have downloaded new license PAKS and a lot of Alpha and Integrity install packages.

    I see some familiar names on the list of ambassadors.

    Yes, that's where. Some interesting new parts showed up today, one of which was a list of people granted "Ambassador" access. About 4 or 5 of which I know from here and other places but most were new to me.
