Warpstock '97 Weekly Update
Warpstock '97 is only eight weeks away and we have some exciting events lined
up. The conference will take place October 25 and 26 of this year outside of
Los Angeles at the AQMD in Diamond Bar, California. Visit
http://www.warpstock.org for full details of this OS/2 community event.
With so little time left before the conference, weekly updates will be posted
on several sites as well as full details on the Warpstock home page,
http://www.warpstock.org.
Here's a summary to bring you up to date.
Discounted travel arrangements can be made through Ship and Shore Travel
Agency. The Clarion Hotel in Diamond Bar, CA, is also offering a discount to
Warpstock attendees. Be sure to make your reservations early. You may also
arrange for childcare during the conference. Details and form available on
homepage.
Discussions with IBM continue as plans are made for the company's
participation.
Stardock Systems announced plans to exhibit and sponsor a games contest. The
games contest will feature B.U.G.S. and Entrepreneur with prizes awarded for
high scores. Brad Wardell of Stardock Systems will present a seminar based on
his "Past, Present and Future OS/2" series. He will also present new material
at Warpstock.
True Spectra announced plans to exhibit at Warpstock. They will be showing off
Photo>Graphics and Photo>Graphics Pro. Special show prices will be offered.
Terry Hamilton will present a seminar on using Photo>Graphics. This will help
the attendee to learn some of the finer points of using Photo>Graphics.
Michael Kaply, Technical Lead of Netscape Communicator for OS/2, will present
a seminar on Netscape Communicator for OS/2. Mike is an IBM developer working
at Netscape.
Whew, tired yet? Well it's time for some fun.
Hethmon Brothers, developers of Internet software for OS/2, and F/X
Communications, developers of InJoy, will sponsor a Saturday night social
event. Stan Ruffo and Martin Pugh, one of the hottest acts on the national
blues circuit, will perform for an enthusiastic Warpstock crowd on October 25.
Stan and Martin's music has been described as blues, but includes strains of
swing, rock & roll, rockabilly, jazz, and Latin. It all adds up into some
fresh and exciting music for OS/2 lovers.
There are several vendors and speakers that have confirmed their
participation. We're working with many others and they will be posted when
confirmed. We still have open topics, so if you're interested in presenting a
particular topic or if there's a topic that you would like to suggest, contact
Kevin Royalty, os2guy@one.net.
We are still in need of volunteers. Warpstock is a 100% volunteer effort. You
may volunteer as much or as little of your time as your schedule allows.
Please check out the volunteer link on the Warpstock homepage and help us make
Warpstock a complete success.
See you at Warpstock,
Warpstock Steering Committee
