The MPE Call to Action !!!

[Jonathan M. Backus]

	The time has come to step forward and be recognized.  Is your company
serious about wanting and/or needing to stay with MPE beyond the end of 2006
for whatever reason (need more time to migrate, don't plan on migrating,
whatever)?  Are you a vendor, or consultant, that is serious about wanting
to continue supporting your MPE products and/or services beyond the end of
2006.  Do you want there to be greater platform options (hardware and/or
emulated) beyond October 2003?  Do you want "life after 2006" to include
maintenance and enhancements of the MPE environment?

	Then say so !!!  The OpenMPE Board of Directors has created a "Letter of
Intent" for you to express this need.  This is not another survey.  It is a
hardcopy letter that you will need to read over, sign, and send back to us.
If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, then you need to act.
These letters will be collected and delivered to HP at the e3000 Solution
Symposium in April.  If you can't respond that fast, you still need to
respond.  It is extremely important that we convey to HP the depth and
breath of the MPE community that has this particular need.

	The "Letter of Intent" can be found on the OpenMPE web site @
www.OpenMPE.org .

	Every shop and every vendor has a voice and it must be heard.  Your prompt
and serious attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
