Login Guide to HPAA Services
The HPAA
uses three industry-standard services:
-
Yahoo Groups – the host for our online networking, job post, and mutual assistance
forums.
-
HPAlumnipedia – a MediaWiki site that
makes collected knowledge available
to all members.
-
HP Alumni group on LinkedIn – the
leading online professional networking tool.
Each of these industry-standard services requires a separate
login.
Before you can subscribe to any of these services, you
must be a member of the HP Alumni Association. Click here to
Join the HPAA
Once you have joined the HPAA, you can
subscribe to the optional services listed on this page.
Please allow 48 hours for
our volunteers to complete your changes.

Using Yahoo Groups |
|
We provide online
discussion forums and job posts using the Yahoo
Groups system and the free "Yahoo ID" password facility.
Each Yahoo group has a
separate subscription list. For each group, you can choose:
-
Individual Emails – receive each message
individually as it is posted. (Default)
-
Daily Digest – receive a single email with the previous day's
messages.
-
No Emails – read the messages with
your browser at your convenience.
The subject line of each HPAA email indicates the name of the group
it was sent to – for example, [HPAA Forum] or [HPAA Jobs]
We recommend that you get a free Yahoo ID if you don't have a
yahoo.com email address.
Get a
Yahoo ID. (If you have a yahoo.com email account, you already
have a Yahoo ID. Your Yahoo ID is the portion of your email address
before "@yahoo.com")
To see and change all of your current Yahoo group subscriptions easily on one screen,
