Special Offer for Warpstock Europe 2009 Attendees

2009-10-30 23:21:09 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [http://www.os2voice.org]

The Warpstock Europe 2009 event team and Mensys BV are pleased to announce a special offer for all attendees of Warpstock Europe 2009. At previous events, eComStation used to be available at a reduced price. Given the fact that most visitors are likely to be already entitled to receive eCS 2.0 GA via their Software Subscription, a different route was chosen for this anniversary event. Actual attendees will receive a voucher worth a rebate of 20 Euro for their next purchase at Mensys.

The tenth Warpstock Europe conference will be held at the Hotel Rugenblick in Stralsund, Germany from November 13 to 15. Warpstock is an annual conference for the OS/2 and eComStation operating systems and related technology. It is dedicated to information, education, support, and exchange and addresses users, developers, and software vendors. To achieve these goals, the event offers seminars and workshops, exhibition areas, and room for personal exchange.

More information is available at: http://www.warpstock.eu


Warpstock Europe is powered by warpevents.eu
Warpstock is a trademark of Warpstock, Inc.

90 Minute Movie about OS/2 and eComStation planed

2009-06-16 01:26:04 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [eComStation@yahoogroups.comDESPAM]

Sigurd Fastenrath posted a message to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/eComStation/

"I am going to plan a 90 minutes video movie about OS/2 and ecomstation. I will use better eqiupment and a lot of other enhancements for it. It will be something completly different from what you have seen on Youtube. There will be a german and an englisch/international version. Release date is planed at Warpstock Europe.

I think I will need 90 Minutes to explain much more about the historay from OS/2 to eCS and have more time to show some details of eComstation.

I do not want to make a commercial, it will be more like an information video.

So, before I start to write the scipt here is the chance for all of you to make your suggestions and thoughts that you may want to see in them movie.

A Question to Mensys/Serenity: Do you mind if I plan to do so? Do you have special thoughts/needs you need to talk about? Would you like to have an interview in there? I probably would visit Mensys for this, The Netherlands is not that fare awy from germany... :-)

Yes, i know, for some of you that may sound crazy or megalomaniac, but we will see.

I will keep you informed form time to time!"

What do you think? Let's collect ideas here!

Qt 4 application and UI framework for eCS, OS/2

2009-05-03 03:34:29 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. Using Qt, you can write applications once and deploy them across many desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_toolkit)

A few years ago netlabs.org hired Dmitry A. Kuminov (aka dmik) to port version 3 of the toolkit to the eCS and OS/2 platform. This port is working well and made it possible to port many applications to our platform.

Some time ago Qt 4 got introduced and more and more applications are using this version of the toolkit by now. To make sure we can port those applications again, we have to invest some more work into the eCS and OS/2 port, as Qt 4 redid a lot of things from scratch. Dmitry offererd us to work on the port again, our goal would be to hire him for about 5 months, but we cannot do that ourself without help from the community.

We do have some money in the queue but it's not enough yet. If you would like to contribute to this port, you are welcome to buy a sponsoring unit for that at Mensys, 100% of that money will be transferred to netlabs.org.

Silvan Scherrer will coordinate the work for this port and Dmitry will do the programming.

Some applications that by now use Qt 4: VirtualBox, SMPlayer, Psi, Scribus, LyX and many more.
