Announcing.... a Web Page Design Contest!
Brought to you by VOICE, Virtual OS/2 International Consumer Education, the
new independent OS/2 promotions organization, the Web Page Contest gives you
the opportunity to showcase your Web talents to make a Home Page and related
web pages for VOICE. The winning entry garners a full 1-year membership to
VOICE, plus other great prizes.
Design guidelines:
1. Minimal homepage graphics (leave space for our logo). We want fast loading
& browsing of the home page; push graphics down to specific points in the
sub-pages.
2. Easy return mail for comments on the site, comments about IBM, comments
about OS/2, and comments about a particular OS/2 application.
3. Separate fora for FAQ, new user help, technical support questions,
suggestions/experiences, opportunities (job openings, consulting wanted,
applications wanted to be written or ported, etc), device drivers, chat
forum, Schedule of Events, meeting attendance and transcripts, ISVs-new
apps-demos, OS/2-supported hardware list, Q&A, newsletter, companies that
support OS/2, etc.
Points will be awarded for ease-of-use and convenient organization of this
information as well as ease of expansion of the various sub-pages.
4. Compatible with Netscape 2.02 for OS/2 and preferably for IBM Web Explorer
and Lynx as well.
All entries become the property of VOICE, and will not be returned. VOICE
reserves the right to use and modify the entries freely. All decisions by
VOICE are final.
Please prepare your entries for the contest no later than April 24, 1997. You
may e-mail me here or at os2headquarters@greenheart.com when you have an entry
prepared.
Thank
you.

*****************************************************************
We started out to Promote OS/2 and now we are VOICE!!
VOICE conducts a weekly IRC (Internet Relay Chat) session at
warpedworld.dyndns.com in the channel #VOICE. If you're unfamiliar with IRC,
visit http://oeonline.com/~mandie1/irc_clients. There is a list of available
native OS/2 IRC clients, with descriptions, and a link to a chart that
compares features of each. If you need further assistance feel free to email
me at mandie1@mail.oeonline.com . The chat session is held every Wednesday at
20:00 EDT. I have a heck of a time trying to figure out the different time
zones, so
I've located a site that has time conversion:
http://poisson.ecse.rpi.edu/cgi-bin/tzconvert. Just put the 20:00 in the time
field, then select From Time Zone: America/Detroit , To Time Zone: Your
location, it will convert the time to your local time. (Much easier than me
giving you the wrong time and you not being able to join us.)
There is also the Promote OS/2 forum that is used to post suggestions, ideas,
goals, OS/2 news etc.The Promote OS/2 forum can be found at:
http://www.millennium-technology.com.
Hope to see you all soon!
