Leading HP-related Facebook groups –  including predecessor and successor companies. (Updated Mar 13, 2025)

Reconnect, celebrate the good times, and appreciate those who have passed. There are many HP-related social groups on Facebook, including: HP, Agilent, Apollo, Avondale, Boise, Compaq, Corvallis, Cupertino, DEC, EDS, Greeley, Houston, Japan, Keysight, Medical, Midwest Sales, Norway, Response Center, Roseville, Santa Rosa, Southern California, Tandem, UK...  Operated and moderated by people from each community.

Privacy: A few of these groups are designated as a "Public Group." Anyone on Facebook can see who is a member of a public group. In a private group, you have to be a member to see who the other members are.

You can join without disclosing personal info.

To sign up for a Facebook account, go to facebook.com. Enter name, either email address or mobile number, and password. Birthdate need not be correct, just over 13. No need to supply any of the other information requested. Then go to https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy and adjust each setting.

Note: Even if you don’t have a Facebook account, many websites report every page you visit to Facebook. An easy way to block tracking by Facebook, Google, etc. is to use the non-profit Privacy Badger -- which also speeds up browsing.

Local social clubs and events: SF Bay Area, Southern California, Houston, Oregon, DEC Connection. Go to: https://www.hpalumni.org/social
