[Announce] Schedule of Sessions @ Warpstock 2003

[Tim Cardozo]

=================================================================

HTML and Lotus 1-2-3 versions of the latest schedule of sessions
for Warpstock 2003 are available at:
<http://www.warpstock.org/2003/presentations/schedule.html> and
<http://www.warpstock.org/2003/presentations/schedule.123>
respectively.

As indicated, Warpstock registration is open at 6:30 PM on Friday
night, October 17th, in the Exhibit room (that's the
Tiburon/Sausalito room) at the hotel.  Please register Friday
night if at all possible.  This will ensure that you and our
Warpstock volunteers don't miss any of the great Warpstock
sessions on Saturday and Sunday.

Here's an update on the sessions scheduled for Warpstock 2003.

Due to work timing problems, Bruce Shroeder, from NorthLAN
Solutions, had to cancel his sessions as did Robin Miller of
Slashdot.  However, we've picked up several more including three
sessions on OS/2-eCS installation, and sessions on Disaster
Recovery Scenarios,  Themes and UI tweaking on eCS, a demo of
Stalker Software's Communigate Pro, and, as noted earlier, what
should prove to be Warpstock 2003 highlights, the OpenOffice.org
on OS/2-eCS and New Virtual Machine Support sessions.

Also, rumor has it we haven't heard the last from IBM yet on
OS/2.  We're planning a Round Table discussion on the future
prospects for our OS of choice what with the imminent arrival
of 64-bit operating systems that will take advantage of Intel's
Itanium as well as AMD's Opteron processors.  IBM folks that
talk to us say they have news to share.  So, this session looks
to be noteworthy if not of critical value to all of us OS/2-eCS
fans.

Here are our categories and the latest sessions list.

GEN=General, NET=Networking, PRG=Programming,  OPS=Open Source,
DEM=Product Demonstration
