It’s looking like the hobbyist program keeps moving around - I’ve found what appears to be the current HP page for it, but they seem to be restricting licenses to only 3 recognized chapters - Connect/Encompass, Internet Netherlands, and Interex.ch <http://interex.ch>.  I’m either unable to understand the language, or the chapter wants real money for membership.  Does anyone know how to get a membership number that HP will accept that is free?

Create an account on Eisner and it will generate a member number. Check Steve Hoffman's site for details <http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1416>

Alternativly, ssh to eisner.decus.org.  log in with the username REGISTRATION and create an account.  Then type HOBBYIST at the DCL prompt and it will give you the info to get your license. List DECUSERVE as the participating chapter.
