A Note from Connect Leadership

Greetings, HPE Community Members!

Dear Community Members,

Our final event of the year took place a few weeks ago, and what a success it was. It was great to join you as the Connect President and see the team in full action. It was a pleasure to meet a combination of customers, partners, and HPE employees from around the globe.

There were some great insights from HPE, the opportunity to understand the NonStop landscape in the future, and some brilliant technical minds building wreck’em cars and fighting it out for popping balloons!

A final thanks to NTI for being the overall sponsor of the event. I really hope that you will join us in 2024 in Monterey Bay.

On a lighter note  – back to this day in history

September 19, 1982

In a posting made to a Carnegie Mellon bulletin board, Professor Scott Fahlman proposes the first known use of emoticons (also known as smilicons or smileys). While the use of emoticons became widespread during the 80’s and 90’s, their origin remained unknown until September 10, 2002, when the original message was retrieved from backup tape.

The following is the original message:

As always, you can join the conversations in our Slack workspace. Please enjoy this issue of The Connection, and I look forward to seeing many of you at TBC soon!

We hope you enjoy and learn from the pages of this issue of The Connection.

Best regards,
