There is only one week left until the OS/2 event of the year at
the 4 Star Renaissance hotel in Austin, Texas. Our reserved block of rooms has
been exhausted, but don't fear as there are other options still available. Read
about some of them in Jason Stefanovich's article in this month's OS/2eZine "Warpstock
on a Budget". http://www.os2ezine.com/20020916/page_4.html
Also as part of the contract we negotiated with
the hotel, the $129 a night rate is good for single or double occupancy. If you
are interested in finding someone to share a room with, Pete Grubbs has setup a
mailing list on Yahoo! for people to exchange information: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WarpstockRoomates
And if you haven't done so yet, register for Warpstock
2002 and be in on all the fun and excitement. We are planning a prize give-away
at the closing session. Current prizes include copies of Virtual PC, MCP1 (no Software
Choice subscription), ACP1 (no Software Choice subscription), mousepads, shirts,
t-shirts and a lot more. A lucky winner will receive the Linksys DSL/Cable Broadband
Router that Warpstock is using for Network access this year, which is suitable for
SOHO networks using OS/2, Linux, and Windows. You can register online with your
VISA or MasterCard at our secure web store site: http://www.bamart.com/warpstockinc
The Warpstock Saturday Night Social has been sold
out. We have been able to add a few more seats by utilizing an outside enclosed
patio adjacent to our private room. We are considering making this area a smoking
section, since it is the only place at the restaurant where smoking is permitted.
If you are a smoker, and have already purchased a ticket for the social, please
email Stan Sidlov at <customerservice@warpstock.org>.
If twenty volunteers step forward, we will move them onto the patio and free twenty
seats inside. IF we can not find the required number of people, the patio will
then be deemed a non-smoking area. If you are interested in attending, but were
late in purchasing your ticket please reserve your seat by FAX using the CC form
at http://www.warpstock.org/2002/registration/cc_form.pdf . You will be notified
by email if your reservation has made the final cutoff, and your credit card will
not be charged until the event in case of inclement weather forcing us to forgo
use of the patio. The possibility of available seats at the event is slim since
we must tell the restaurant in advance how many people to expect, but you may ask
at the event registration desk.
To learn the latest information about OS/2 and
eComstation, then come to Warpstock 2002, which this year is taking place in the
home of OS/2 development. Warpstock will take place the weekend of October 5-6,
2002 in Austin, Texas at the Renaissance Austin Hotel. You can find the complete
presentation schedule as well as event registration and hotel reservation information
at our web site: <http://www.warpstock.org>.
Warpstock, Inc., is a North Carolina corporation.
The Warpstock annual conference is a gathering of OS/2 users, developers, and vendors
from around the world for the purpose of education and advocacy.
