Dear developers, please don't brake a dream about full free VMS. I Think that in the future we port web-server, DB, Billing and other applications to FreeVMS and get secure and HA system.
Also, so much time FreeVMS project is not growing. I knew that it's need more hight-qualified developers, but they must be interested! No more people really knows what is VMS. In my opinion we must review project policy, take more information for people by posting articles on the thematic web sites, hight-availability forums, web-IT-magazines and etc. The situation was aggravated when HP bought Compaq, after that they closed some applications and sources, also, they refuse alpha support. But that's no reason to give up if we need a really stability, availability and simplicity, and if we don't want to pay biggest money to international corporations for awfully operating systems thats mismatch for our requests. I am not interested in develop directly, but I can help with documentation and notifications for some IT specialist thats may need and may interested for FreeVMS opportunities. -- Pls. Quote all messages. Best regards. Ilia Sasin.
