Warpstock '97 Weekly Update:
This week we've added four more vendors to our growing list:
MSR Development Corporation, developers of the popular BackMaster, backup
software for OS/2, will be showcase their products at Warpstock. They have
even added their own Warpstock '97 web page describing their participation. We
won't spoil their surprises. Additional information along with their "Free of
charge" offer, can be found at http://www.msrdev.com/warpstock.html .
Oberon Software, developers of OS/2 software and providing OS/2 related
services since 1988 will attend. Oberon products include TE/2 Pro! and TE/2
Classic, FSHL - Oberon Software's Alternative Command Line Executive,
DiskStat, LstPM, and the Commpak/2 Programmer's Toolkit for creating
telecommunications routines under OS/2. In addition, Oberon Software has
developed unique, OS/2 based solutions for a number of major corporations in
the banking and communication industries.
Phoenix OS/2 Society, Inc (POSSI), one of the largest if not the largest OS/2
user group, will be represented at Warpstock. Based in Phoenix, Arizona,
POSSI's memberships extend worldwide. Known for it's award winning OS/2
magazine, Extended Attributes (EA). POSSI offers many services to members
including a monthly subscription to EA, product discounts and "members only"
mailing lists, just to mention a few. You might want to stop by the POSSI
booth and say "Hi" to Esther Schindler, and don't forget the chocolate!
Adventure Software, developers of Internet Adventurer. Internet Adventurer,
OS/2 Internet Suite, received the highest possible score from TUCOWS in May,
1997 and a rating of "Excellent" from Software Showcase in June 1997. The
Internet Adventurer suite includes IRC, WWW (using WebExplorer or Netscape/2
interface), gopher, FTP, newsreader, mail, telnet, WebWatcher and integrated
support for running native JAVA applets. Taken from the Software Showcase web
page, " Support from the author, Kim Rasmussen is second to none!"
Warpstock will offer a wide variety of presentations. We've listened to what
*you* want and made every attempt to fulfill your requests. We still have a
few presentation topics open, so why not take a look at
http://www.warpstock.org/presentations.html and see if you can be of
assistance.
Developers and those considering OS/2 application development won't want to
miss the "Developer-Specific" Seminars. The following presentations are
presently confirmed: OS/2 Timing Services, Introduction to REXX, REXX
enablement of OS/2 applications, Advanced REXX and Java programming in OS/2.
There are also several Corporate/SOHO/Home User Seminars confirmed. So you can
see that we'll have something of interest for the entire OS/2 community.
Oh, and don't forget, after your hard day of absorbing all of the information
at the numerous seminars, Saturday evening you can kick off your shoes and sit
back and relax to the music of Stan Ruffo's Blues Band. This social event is
sponsored by Hethmon Brothers and F/X Communications.
Those who would like to help in making Warpstock a success, can volunteer
some of your time. Our thanks go out to the many people that are contributing
their time, but we are still in need of many more volunteers to fill the empty
slots. Visit http://www.warpstock.org/volunteer.html for a list of openings or
email volunteer@warpstock.org.
For your convenience, we have inquired about child care during the WarpStock
event. This is not a babysitting service. The child care providers are trained
and have been subjected to the appropriate background checks. Cost per child
for the conference (2 full days until 5:30 p.m.) is $25.00. So sign up now so
that the providers will know how many children will require care. Childcare
needs must be registered prior to the conference. Full details and form at
http://www.warpstock.org/register.html
See you at Warpstock!
