Warpstock '97 Weekly Update
There are less than four weeks until the Warpstock '97 conference. This
inaugural event is scheduled for October 25 - 26, 1997, 8:30 a.m. until 6 p.m
daily. The site of the conference is the AQMD Headquarters in Diamond Bar,
California. This is located outside of Los Angeles.
The Warpstock home page, http://www.warpstock.org, offers complete details of
the conference. Secure online registration is offered by BMT Micro and there
is also information about travel and hotel accommodations, including child care
while attending this OS/2 community event.
Innoval Systems Solutions, http://www.innoval.com, issued a Press Release
this week which stated that they will be releasing NetExtra2 at Warpstock 97
and demonstrating some new Java technology. InnoVal will also be demonstrating
some new Java technology that it will be employing in its upcoming Post Road
Mailer for Java.
A reporter from Internet Week contacted Esther Schindler, Warpstock Committee
Advisor, and they discussed his intent to write a column about Warpstock.
Esther stated, " He's really excited about it, because of the "by and for OS/2
users" part, and I also stressed the "arranged completely over the Internet,
untouched by human hands" angle."
We would like to thank Presenting Solutions,
http://www.presentingsolutions.com , for supporting Warpstock. Presenting
Solutions will donate two LCD Projectors that will be used during the
Warpstock Conference.
If you're interested in networking or thinking of setting up your own server
or LAN, then you'll want to be sure to attend the "Connectivity
Presentations" offered. A complete list of presentations can be found at
http://www.warpstock.org/presentations.html . There are also some topics that
have been requested by our attendees that are still open. If you would like to
present one of these topics, please contact Kevin Royalty,
os2guy@one.net .
Volunteers are still needed in several areas. Please visit
http://www.warpstock.org/volunteer.html .
See you at Warpstock!
