~ Membership Application ~
OpenMPE is offering a "zero
cost" membership. This is being done to identify the
initial "rank-and-file" of the community that desires to
continue using the "MPE environment" beyond the end of 2006.
It will be used to determine how later "fee based" memberships
should be set up and their potential costs. Membership at the
"zero cost" level does NOT require you to continue as a member
when we switch to a "fee based" structure. However, it
does give you voting privileges in OpenMPE issues take to the membership.
Some of the activities OpenMPE is currently working on include:
NEW Items As of March 2010:
Making available the former CSL Interex Libary Online
Making available the former Invent3k machine on OpenMPE's domain name.
Thanks to donations, we have the hardware in place for both efforts.
- Finalizing the pricing and distribution process for new MPE licenses
to be created for a PA-RISC emulator.
- Identify resources and personnel needed to create a "Virtual
MPE lab" outside of HP.
- Original "Gang of Six" items (Largely delivered upon at HP
World):
 |
Remove or publish passwords for
MPE-unique system utilities no later than end of 2006. |
|
Enable MPE license transfers /
upgrades and hardware re-configuration (add / upgrade
processors, etc.) to continue after 2006; for emulator usage,
changing user license levels, acquiring used e3000 systems,
