Welcome to the August 2006 edition of OPConnect, the official newsletter of the OPC Foundation.
Things are sizzling on the OPC Foundation front this hot summer. A lot of projects that have been simmering on the back burner

The OPC Foundation has been proud to sponsor some hot events during these summer months, including the Foundation training
sessions in Houston and Atlanta, several successful presentations held in conjunction with the ARC Forum, and the formal release
