Since it was founded in 1961, DECUS has grown in- ternationally, with more than 70,000 members worldwide. DECUS, a not-for-profit organization, is actively directed by individuals like yourself who have purchased, leased, or ordered a Digital computer, who currently use a Digital computer, or who have a genuine interest in DECUS. Membership is free. Benefits of belonging to DECUS include the following: Interchange of Information Among Users and with Digital Person- nel DECUS maintains contact between Digital and users primarily through Special Interest Groups (SIGs). SIGs are formed around areas of common interest, such as hardware, operating systems, languages, applications, and marketing. SIGs participate in a newsletter and they offer effective and focused exchanges of information between Digital and users. In addition, SIGs represent users on ANSI committees responsible for standards. Local Area Activities DECUS members participate on a local level through one of many Local User Groups (LUGs). Digital often assigns representatives to keep LUGs informed of new products and available services. Symposia DECUS holds symposia around the world several times each year. Intensive days of meetings consist of workshops, panels, tutori- als, and formal paper presentations. 5 SIGs also sponsor seminars at which both Digital and users give presentations on topics such as strategies, products, prob- lems, and solutions that are of interest to users of Digital's products. Software at Nominal Charge DECUS maintains a library of approximately 2000 active pro- grams written and submitted by users. These programs include compilers, editors, numerical functions, utilities, and games. Individual SIGs also maintain separate libraries of programs specific to each Digital software product. Programs from the li- braries are available to any DECUS member. You can get ordering information from your DECUS office. Feedback to Digital DECUS members have significant input into Digital's hardware and software designs. Digital managers and developers frequently participate in symposia and SIG/LUG meetings to obtain feedback on current products and direction for future products. 6 Publications DECUS produces a newsletter, symposia proceedings, SIG newslet- ters, and other publications containing useful technical ideas and information about industry trends.
