Dear OS/2/eComStation user,

The last speakup was with IRC speakup was with Jan van Wijk last year.

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 following dates have been set. Saturday May 14th 15:00 New York time. (For America and Europe) Amsterdan time 21:00. GMT 19:00.

The speakup for Australia and Asia is on Sunday the 29th of May. It will start on Sunday morning from 09:00 until 11:00 Sydney time. 08:00 to 10:00 Tokyo time. (Its done so early for Australia because Michal joines from California, Saturday May 28 at 16:00 to 18:00).
