John Edwards Opening comments Welcome to Warpstock

Neil Waldhauer Introducing Attendees Attendees take turns explaining what they do with OS/2

Joe Suttle Presentations With Impact Learn the secrets to creating presentations that grab your audiences attention. This is not a “How to be a Speaker” session, but a demonstration of how to use slides and graphics in Impress or Powerpoint that help get your points across and what you say remembered. Drawing on accepted practices and actual experiences, you will leave better prepared to face your next audience. You’ll find ways to clear the cobwebs from data presentations, offer memorable content and discover ways to reinforce what you say.

Jeffrey Race Building the Universal Thinkpad: eCS, Windows, Linux and PCDOS This presentation shows how to achieve four different operating systems on one machine, each of which when run has direct access to the hardware without using virtualization.

David Azarewicz Arca Noae Device Drivers: Recent Progress and Future Plans In this session, we will review the recent progress of the OS/2 device drivers. We will cover some of the issues that were encountered and the solutions that were implemented. The future plans of some of the key drivers will also be discussed. There should also be time to address questions from the audience. There has been some exciting progress in the past several months so you do not want to miss this session.

Howard Winter Arca Noae News an Overview of the current state of ArcaOS and other Arca Noae software

Lewis Rosenthal NetDrive demonstration
This session will be an actual demonstration of the installation of the full NetDrive product, additional plugins (Samba, ISOFS), and the changes made to the system by install.

The demonstration of NetDrive in action will consist of creating various drive mappings, saving them, and restoring them, utilizing the NetDrive Control Panel as well as ArcaMapper, the new GUI tool in ArcaOS. If time allows, some command line usage will also be covered. Demonstration of moving files between mapped NetDrive volumes located on a NAS device or another workstation and the local filesystem will be included, as well as discussion of EA support and alternative authentication (Kerberos) for Samba 4.

There will be a discussion of the differences between NetDrive license tiers, what requires purchase of a license and what does not, as well as available plugins.
