Welcome to DECconnection.org, a website
established for the benefit of former Digital Equipment Corporation employees and contractors who
would like to stay connected with former colleagues who value Digital's
cultural, technical and management legacies.
This website is dedicated to the memory of our
founder and mentor extraordinaire, Ken Olsen, and to preserving and enhancing what we all
feel made Digital a unique place to work. We strive to do this by fostering
connectivity and communication among members of the Digital "family". Our
monthly newsletter, DEC Connection News-At-Glance, highlights face-to-face
events, newsbytes of former employees, and programs and announcements of
interest to all members. Since
90% of our members are now retired from full-time employment, we have
increased our focus on social events and zoom seminars, and decreased
or eliminated activities such as professional networking. We're still into DEC nostalgia and preserving Ken's legacy.
The DEC Connection Board of Directors
continues to reach out to DEC employees to provide activities and forums of
interest to the Digital community. This website belongs to its members and
exists to help the Digital family stay connected. We hope you will choose to
Join Us and participate in our meetings and events. By keeping in touch,
both in person and online, we hope to sustain Ken's legacy well into the
future, help fellow members and have fun along the way. So please explore
what this site offers, and of course let us know how it can better serve
your interests. You can meet our Board of Directors on our Contact Us
page. Thank you for visiting
