Announcing Warpstock Europe 2017

This year the OS/2 VOICE foundation will be hosting the European conference about OS/2: Warpstock Europe 2017 in the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands in the central library on Saturday the 20 and Sunday 21st of May 2017. Please see www.warpstock.eu for details.

Warpstock encourages attendees to bring spouses, guests, and even families to the event. Note that registration fees are only required for those actually participating in sessions (and as students are always free, there is never a registration fee for them). Spouses, and guests are invited to join us for lunch on Friday and Saturday, as well, with no up-charge.

So please, come and enjoy all there is to enjoy about Warpstock: good friends and good people getting together to share and learn new things about the technology we use. We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!

We managed to work out a great deal with the hotel for this year's event, at just $84 per night, for either a single King suite or a guest room with two Queen beds. That price includes complimentary hot breakfast for every day of your stay, complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, complimentary airport shuttle or parking (for those driving to the event), outdoor heated pool and hot tub, and of course, lots of Florida sunshine!

Top that off with catered lunch Friday and Saturday during the event, and 2016 shapes up to be an excellent bargain.

The Warpstock speaker committee invites you make a presentation at this year's conference. Presentations are currently scheduled at 45 minutes in length, but this is negotiable. Presenters may use Skype to make presentations, so.if you cannot be with us in person, please consider making a virtual presentation.

Individuals considering making a presentation should submit a letter of their intent by e-mail to: presenters [AT] warpstock [DOT] org.

Show your support for this year's event by adding a link to your website. We've got code pre-made for you! Just follow the instructions on the support page.
