Need assistance for OpenVMS trade press article

[Kenneth Farmer]

I've been approached by a writer from one of the large trade publications. He has asked for assistance finding the following:

1) A user who currently is using VMS on Itanium.
2) Someone who is on Alpha and not planning to move to Itanium.
3) Someone still on VAX and not planning to change any time soon.
4) Someone who was on VMS, went elsewhere and came back.

If you wish to be interview please reply to kfarmer (at) openvms (dot) org with:
1) Name
2) Your email address
3) Company name
4) Number associated with your situation (1, 2, 3 or 4)
5) Your phone number. I'm going to call everyone first before I pass their name on to the writer.

Your geographic location doesn't matter. Being able to speak English does. :)

Obviously this information will be made public through the interview, so make sure your company approves, otherwise I'm not responsible if you loose your job.

Deadline to respond is End-of-Business, Thursday, August 12th.

Is it reasonable to be looking for someone using Itanium for VMS yet? It isn't into a production strength yet, is it?

Steve,
OpenVms for Itanium (V8.xx) is avaiable for developmers. I'll have an Itanium box on October to make porting of software.

The reporter is looking for companies beta testing. I probably should have mentioned that. I was assuming everyone knew the status of VMS on I2 at the moment.

Thanks for asking.
