Welcome to DECconnection.org, a website established to benefit anyone and everyone who ever was connected to Digital Equipment Corporation, regardless of where they now live or whether they are working or not.

In December 2007, our membership voted to change our name to The DEC Connection in recognition of our new goals and broader membership base.

This website is dedicated 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". Launched in March 2006, this site promoted the Tribute to Ken Olsen at Gordon College in June of 2006, two 50th Reunion Celebrations (Clock Tower Place on May 24, 2007, and Dinner/Reunion at the Stow Acres Country Club on September 27, 2007) and the most recent opening of the Ken Olsen Science Center at Gordon College on September 27, 2008. We were happy to present a $2500 check to Gordon College on June 27, 2006 and a second $2500 check to Gordon College for the Digital Loggia of Technology at the opening celebration on 9/27/08.

The DEC Connection Board of Directors continues to prepare its operation to better address the needs of our expanding membership. As of November 1, we have 750 paid members in 33 U.S. states and five countries beyond our shores.

This website belongs to its members and exists, as stated above, to help the Digital family stay connected. We hope you will choose to Join Us and participate in our meetings and online chats. From the topics listed in the left-hand menu, you can see that we want to keep Ken's heritage alive, since we all appreciate having experienced the “Digital Culture.” By keeping in touch both in person and online, we hope to sustain Ken's legacy well into the future, help each other, and have fun. So please explore what this site offers, and of course let us know how it can better serve your interests. Thank you for visiting www.decconnection.org.
