I was planning to say hello, but now I think greetings are unnecessary. Firstly, I already know you and all your loved ones very well. Secondly, the occasion for which I'm writing to you is not the happiest one for a friendly greeting. You've heard that the Internet is a dangerous place, infested with malicious links and hackers like me? Of course, you've heard, but what's the point in it if you are so dismissive of your internet security and don't care what websites you visit? Times have changed. You read about AI, judging by your browser history, and still didn't understand anything? Technologies have stepped far forward, and now hackers like me use artificial intelligence. Thanks to it, I can get not only access to your webcam and record your fun with highly controversial video (I recorded it also, but now that's not the point), but also to all your devices and not only yours. And I saved a special sauce for this dish. I went further and sent malicious links to all your contacts from your account. Yes, someone was smarter and realized that this was a trap and you were hacked, but believe me, about 70% of your contact list (and these are your friends, colleagues, and family) bought into my scam. They have as many skeletons in their closet as you do. Some turn out to be hidden homosexuals... I have accumulated and analyzed a huge amount of compromising data on you and those with whom you communicate. Very soon I'll start a crossfire - everyone will receive the full history of correspondence (and there are enough of "sensitive moments") and recordings from the other contact's webcam. I can go further and put all these files, as well as the recorded fun of you and your hacked contacts with "hardcore videos" into the public domain. You can imagine, it will be a real sensation! And everyone will understand where it came from - from you. For all your contacts and, you will be enemy number one. Even your relatives will take a long time to forgive you and forget such a family shame... It will be the real end of the world. The only difference is that there will be not four horsemen of the apocalypse, but only one - (= But there is no such thing as a completely black stripe without any white dots. Luckily for you, in my case the "Three M Rule" comes into play - Money, Money and Money again. I'm not interested in your worthless life, I'm interested in people from whom I can profit. And today you are one of them. That's why: Transfer $1390 in Bitcoin to: 1PPJpvSPbbMwbESJZXGS8VtKiFQkmm7DvK ...within 48 hours! You don't know how to use cryptocurrencies? Use Google, everything is simple. Once payment is received, I will delete all information associated with you and you will never hear from me again. Remember one thing: my crypto address is anonymous, and I generated this letter in your mailbox and sent it to you. You can call the cops, do whatever you want - they won't find me, my demands won't change, but you'll just waste precious time. The clock is ticking. Tick tock, a minute out of 48 hours has passed right now. An hour will soon pass, and in two days your old life will pass forever. Either goodbye forever (if I get my payment), or hello to a brave new world in which there will be no place for you. Hasta La Vista, Baby! P.S. Almost forgot. Finally learn what incognito tabs, two-factor authentication, and the TOR browser are, for God's sake! |

We started these discussions and exchanges a DECADE ago!!! A LOT has been discussed and a lot has happened. Many improvements have been made in the process. BUT. After thinking about the state of mind of many of us - tired, withdrawn, frustrated and detached. As well as my own commitments to work and family, I have come to the conclusion that we should all take a break from the conference calls and focus on ourselves and when there is time work to get some progress on the various Open Source projects we have been championing. I myself have a new project at work with a TIGHT SCHEDULE with multiple databases, multiple cluster, production, development, quality assurance, backup, gateways, disaster recovery, inter-company data exchanges and a new client. I also have about four or more small projects going on at any one time for the rest of the my current client and even projects for myself. Not to mention I would like to find time to visit family and friends in several states West of the Mississippi and East of the Pacific Ocean, many of whom I have not seen since 2017 (some of that may have to wait until after this new project is completed in early 2023 or so). As such I am not scheduling any more conference calls until at LEAST September. I do want to keep communications open and I want comment and feedback from ALL!!! We had minimal discussion last conference call other than to some extent this discussion and trying to rally more troops to help in the process. John and I STILL BELIEVE that the GNUlib Assist Library makes the most sense to help reduce the effort of porting to OpenVMS the myriad of Open Source Packages that are out there and which are beneficial but which folks have not undertaken due to the various efforts that have be more or less randomly applied based upon the findings during the porting process. If we could get a build with minimal effort and then worry about how to optimize and integrate OpenVMS specific features the process could be sped up by at least an order of magnitude or more. Anyway, let me know your thoughts. Keep me informed of your efforts and along the way we will distribute on a irregular basis news from the Open Source On OpenVMS Community! Thanks! Best, Bill.

Open Source on OpenVMS Needs HELP I will be quite honest, neither John nor I have had much energy to apply to the effort we are currently involved with of the past few months. The development of the gnuLIB Assist library which we believe will make porting open source packages to OpenVMS easier. Think of is sort of as a Boost to the technology and framework John introduced a decade ago of using logical name search lists to facilitate having a reference copy of a package which is then overlayed by an "stable" version of the package for OpenVMS and then the development version of the package. That coupled with various helper files recognized by the wrappers that make OpenVMS native code development tools look like open source tools made porting of open source packages more effective. But we need help. We need people willing to step forward and do testing. We need people willing to review code and help make sure it is doing the right thing and be efficient. We need people willing to provide time for some coding or documentation. We have had some people show interest in packaging but we still do not have a standard package. Although PCSI kits have become a standard and since that is the default in OpenVMS now for kits I guess we will stick with it. We had at one point considered how to package a development environment, but that sort of went by the wayside due to several issues. We need people with energy and ideas to help us get back on track and get energized and excited again about this process and this effort. The conference calls use JITSI, which does all of the processing through the web browser. We have tested with Firefox, Edge, and Chrome on Windows and Chrome/Chromium on Linux. We do not plan on using video... Although we may share items from desktops... Thanks to Jouk Jansen for providing this facility to our community! To attend the conference call: <https://gavotte.nano.tudelft.nl:8443/OpenVMS> https://gavotte.nano.tudelft.nl:8443/OpenVMS We hope to see you and others on the calls in the future. Thank you.

I have posted the recording and notes from last month <https://sourceforge.net/p/vms-ports/discussion/call_topics/> 's conference call. We had Brett Cameron of VSI as a visitor and discussed various aspects of current and future Open Source Projects. Also some discussion as to work being done by VSI to help support open source porting to OpenVMS, most notably SSIO, which was a project started many years ago by HP OpenVMS Engineering. Along the way we learned that Andy Goldstein has been working on the SSIO effort for VSI. Our next call is this coming Thursday, 21 October, at 23:00 EDT <https://gavotte.nano.tudelft.nl:8443/OpenVMS> which is held via JITSI, courtesy of Jouk Jansen in the Netherlands..
