Developers from the Ukraine:
We are currently working on the VISA for two developers from the Ukraine. Thanks to your contributions through sponsor units we hope to have enough money to invite two developers from to Ukraine to the Developers Workshop. If all goes well, both will give a presentation on their work for OS/2 applications and drivers.
If you plan to contribute via sponsor units, you can purchase them in the Mensys online shop.
Reserve your hotel rooms:
Hotel rooms in Dresden for this particular weekend can be scarce! There are a couple of other events on this weekend so if you already know that you are attending the Workshop, please consider reserving the rooms as soon as possible. There should not be problems with finding four or five star hotel rooms, but cheaper accommodation could be in short supply.
A couple of links to hotel booking websites have been added to the Workshop homepage to assist you with your planing. If you have trouble finding a reasonable priced room, you can also contact the Workshop team via eMail: DevelopersWorkshop netlabs.org
New sessions:
One new session has been added to the presentation list. Vladyslav Stelmakhovskyy will talk about supporting USB WebCams in OS/2. We are currently talking to two more people about contributing to the Workshop. Stay tuned for more exciting topics!
Send your posters:
Posters are a great way to inform people about your work or your project! If you are developing an application or driver for OS/2 or eComStation or if you are maintaining a website that is related to a development project, please consider creating a poster for the Workshop. A poster is simply a very large paper, for example in the A1 to A3 format, that contains an overview about a project. While it may not be the ideal tool, OpenOffice could be used to create posters! A poster should include the following information:
- a short history of the project and a description
- the current state
- some links to web pages or contact information of the author
- some ideas about how other developers could participate
- anything else that you think is important or interesting
You may also update the posters for later OS/2 events like Warpstock or Warpstock Europe!
If you cannot attend the Workshop, but would like to present your project to the community we can make this happen! Here is the deal:
Send us an eMail and let us know that you think about preparing a poster. Then send us your poster no later then July 4th. Please use PDF, PS, TIFF or any other ready-to-print format! (no SXW, no PAP, no LWP!!) The Workshop team will print the posters in Dresden and present them at the Workshop. There is no cost for you, except the time that you need to create the poster!
Of course, we will also make the posters available via the Workshop homepage. This guarantees that a wider audience can have a look at the them!
Order your Workshop tickets:
Just as a reminder, the Workshop team would appreciate it if you would register for the Workshop as early as possible. You can purchase your tickets at the Mensys online shop.
