The Warpstock site definitely feels old ... I clicked around my earlier link (my fault), and feel sure I'm hitting the real front page. It still feels "old", because:
- It shows the 2024 warpstock event ... perhaps that's what folks want to show? Not the future event for 2025, but leave the older event up until something changes, even thought that event is over?
- dozens of other links/entries show nothing but old dates ... this contributes to the feeling that nothing is ever updated on Warpstock.
- if I travel a link to get to something, I things like "the last entry was 2007" or such. Perhaps take off these "old" dates altogether?
I was able to remote into the 2024 event, but per another thread I have on this forum (right below this thread), there were all kinds of issues, and it left me feeling like I couldn't participate as well as if I were there (and I couldn't attend the 2024 site). It was free, but I'd gladly pay to get something better ...
I still have no idea how "the process" will work to plan for 2025 ... there is no calendar that I can easily find, so I have no idea how, or if, I can participate in that. Meetings may happen, or will happen, but it's a black hole at the moment, almost 6 months in. After 6 months, shouldn't there be something, somewhere? And more specifically, something about all the presentations that are going to happen in 2025? To build momentum?
I posted here on os2world, because this site feels newer ... things are happening, and I thought it would get more eyeballs on it. The "forum" pieces of Warpstock seem old ... the last "event" entries were from 2022.
Perhaps OS/2 itself is fading not because it is old, but because there's too much old stuff about it laying around (Warpstock is one such site ... user groups are another). There just isn't a good effort underway (that I can see) to sell all the new possibilities of OS/2 ...
I love OS/2 ... I presented in 2023, so I love the idea of Warpstock (and it's still a cool name) ... just can't seem to see the fireworks around OS/2.
