Warpstock '97 Weekly Update
With only three weeks left until the Warpstock Conference, the Warpstock
Steering Committee is now meeting bi-weekly. We're busy trying to finalize
last minute details.
Just to let everyone know a bit of what goes on behind the scenes. The entire
event has been planned over the internet. We have a general Warpstock mailing
list and a Warpstock Steering Committee mailing list setup and plans have
blossomed from OS/2 users ideas and suggestions. We would like to thank the
WEBBnet administrators for the use of their servers. We have met weekly in IRC
sessions on the WEBBnet servers for a bit of "live" discussion and planning.
This week Lotus Development Corporation was added to our list of
presentations. They will demonstrate Lotus SmartSuite for OS/2.
Saturday night is the social event which will feature a Blues band. IBM will
be contributing a birthday cake in celebration of OS/2's tenth birthday.
For those of you that don't receive InternetWeek, you might want to check out
Paul Kapustka's Geek Week column at http://www.geekweek.com. He mentions
Warpstock and our very own Warpstock Advisor, Esther Schindler. Maybe he'll
make it to Warpstock.
If you haven't checked out the presentation page lately,
http://www.warpstock.org/presentations.html, there are some detailed
descriptions of some of the presentations.
Sundial Systems has offered discount coupons from Six Flags Magic Mountain (in
Valencia - about an hour or so from Diamond Bar). Each ticket is good for up
to 6 people and gets you $12 off per person Tue - Sat or 50% off on Sun & Mon.
A form is in place on the Entertainment page,
http://www.warpstock.org/entertainment.html, if you would like to reserve
tickets.
We've had a bit of discussion going on in the general mailing list regarding
food and transportation. We do have a list of local restaurants listed at
http://www.warpstock.org/food/food.html, and there is a list for car rental
and hotel and motel accommodations. The Clarion in Diamond Bar still has some
rooms remaining for $59/night. Be sure to mention Warpstock in order to get
the discounted price.
See you at Warpstock!
