Users Groups — Peert-to-Peer Networking

What is known for sure is that the now-DICE will remain an independent user group, but will have working relationships with certain vendors. Its operation and activities will continue to be internally driven, chiefly through the board. Vinocur says the group is on a sound financial footing, thanks to member dues and meeting registration fees, combined with minimal overhead. The board didn’t see any need to raise member dues as a result of HP’s pullback and that should remain the case for the foreseeable future, he adds.
