From Berners-Lee to Webkit; an OS/2 View of the Web

Steve Wendt

Steve first discovered OS/2 with Warp 3. In 1997, he started the "OS/2 Warp News and Rumors" web page, which continues to be a primary source of OS/2 related news for other sites, such as OS2World.Com, and also maintains the popular Warpzilla Tips page.

ACPI Project for eComStation

David Azarewicz

Understanding the eComStation ACPI Project -- why it is needed, what it does, and how to use it.

Troubleshooting eComStation

Steven Levine

Openoffice workshop

John W. Edwards

John will provide assistance on OpenOffice. Bring questions on any aspect of OpenOffice on eCS.

Wireless Networking

Lewis Rosenthal

This session will deal with the recent updates to the WPA Supplicant port available for eCS and OS/2, including how to update the older build included with XWLAN, running the supplicant from XWLAN, the command line, or from the Qt GUI, as well as interpreting some of the log file to determine what might not be working quite right.

Using RPM/YUM

Neil Waldhauer

Many new software products for eComStation use RPM/YUM for distribution and installation. This presentation shows how to get started and use RPM/YUM.

How to install / use GIMP

Stuart Updike

Virtualization

Chuck McKinnis

Hardware continues to advance, and it is becoming harder and harder to keep eCS up-to-date in support of these changes. Running eCS under Windows and/or Linux virtual support is becoming more and more viable as an alternative. This overview and update on virtualization will look at the current state of virtualization.
