Dear OS/2/eComStation user,
This is the reminder for the second speakup about the Open Watcom compiler targetted at Asia and Australia.
What is a SpeakUp? Well, its organized via IRC (Internet Relay Chat). On an IRC SpeakUp you will get a chance to talk to software developers, for instance. The person/organization/company invited for the SpeakUp will give a short introduction about himself and the product or project they work on. And then the real part of the SpeakUp starts! You can ask questions! If you like the information exchange at Warpstock (www.warpstock.org), then you will like VOICE SpeakUps (depending on the subject, of course).
We will try and organize SpeakUps every month on a subject of interest.
The topic for this SpeakUp is the Open Watcom compiler.
The guest for this SpeakUp is Michal Necasek.
What is new, is that SpeakUps will be organized twice. The first VOICE SpeakUp of the month will be targeted especially at the US. The second meeting will be targeted at Asia and Australia. This targeting will be accomplished by the timing of the IRC to suit the locale.
The first speakup on Open Watcom was on May 14th and was targetted at America and Europe. Anybody who wants to prepare for the meeting you can find a log file of the IRC speakup here:
