Dear OS/2 User,
Right now most of us are in the summer doldrums. Sitting back in the
sun...taking it easy with a tall cool one, while surfing on our laptops
with the beta of Netscape Communicator 4.04.
The Warpstock Team is tempted by summer's pleasures too, but we're
sweating out the details of Warpstock'98. We're busy planning the site
layout, contacting speakers, working out the network connections, and
in general trying to make this year even bigger and better than last
year's event. To make that happen, we need YOU!
As a member in the OS/2 community, we know that you're anxious to meet
other users. You correspond with them online, you see them in your
favorite virtual hangouts. This is a perfect time to remind them that,
aside from the topnotch presentations you'll see and the OS/2 exhibits
you'll be able to visit... you can actually see your friends, people
who don't stare at you strangely when you say "OS/2."
This is our party, our chance to get together. Communicate that to the
other OS/2 users you know, and encourage them to join in. Remember, the
whole purpose of this event is a celebration of OS/2... and the more,
the merrier.
Make your reservations now!
September 16th is just around the corner. That's exactly one month
before Warpstock. On that day, the Wyndham Northwest will no longer
accept Warpstock group rates. The cost of putting on Warpstock is
directly based on the number of people who choose to stay in the
Wyndham. Staying at the Wyndham reduces our costs to the bare minimum.
We have arranged a bare minimum of a price to help you do just that,
$99 a night for a AAA 4 Diamond hotel. This is an absolute bargain!
You have to see what you're getting for your money. The hotel is
outrageous. But this bargain can only be yours if you use the
"WARPSTOCK" group code when you make your reservations. Call the
Wyndham Northwest at (630) 773-4000 Fax: (630) 773-4087. They accept
all major credit cards. They also have a web site to check out all the
amenities and get directions - http://www.wyndham.com
Your can purchase your Warpstock '98 tickets and see all the latest
event information from the official Warpstock web site at
http://www.warpstock.org.
We have a special offer for OS/2 shareware or freeware developers. To
learn more, send email to the appropriate address:
Shareware@warpstock.org Freeware@warpstock.org
While the schedule is filling up, we have plenty of open slots for
presentations at Warpstock. If you're interested in sharing your
expertise (or just your enthusiasm) on a particular OS/2-related
subject, fill out the form at http://www.warpstock.org/exspeak.html.
Remember that Warpstock is a non-profit event in more than just the
legal terms of the word. If you want to continue to see this type of
event (BY OS/2 users, and FOR OS/2 users), then you have to make the
pilgrimage to Chicago. But before you can begin your adventure, you
need a registration and a reservation. Please, take a moment make your
registration and make your lodging arrangements too, and ask everyone
you know that they do the same.
Thank you for a moment of your summer, see you in the Fall.
BTW, if you were one of the 1,937 special people we picked to receive
this message early, we're sorry that you have received another copy.
But we feel that Warpstock'98 is important. Important to the OS/2
Community at large, and hopefully important to you as an individual
OS/2 user.
