WSE2013 conference is planned to May, 2013 (Netherlands)
The conferences are not everyday meetings of the users.
For developers, every conference it's like examination for students.
Every conference is the target. The developers make efforts
to complete the tasks for D-Day (day of conference).
It's a demonstration of year's work results.
For users, It's interesting trip, learning and communication.
For OS developer, it's a D-day of OS release.
No conference - no release of new version.
How to imrove the conference?
WSE-REFORM-201211-01:
The conference requires external investments, external resources.
WSE-REFORM-201211-02:
It's important to generate eCS / OS/2 Warp artefacts and
sell/give this items to the visitors.
(pens, mugs, flashdisks, ..), to keep the "religion" alive.

eCo Software recommends:
WSE-REFORM-201210-01:
All speakers make short presentations (10 minutes) in the morning
to attract attention of the visitors.
Moreover, the speakers can publish video clips in advance with
promo of the presentation.
WSE-REFORM-201210-02:
Let's recommend to all speakers: make live presenation, don't use slides.
WSE-REFORM-201210-03:
Feed the visitors with small amounts of food in the middle of the day.
Don't give 200% size portions, else the visitors are sleepy.
P.S. This is unofficial data collection.

Let's collect photos of Thinkpad with eComStation!
Use web-forms for contacts.
Let's see if your photos may be showed to other people.
Better use PNG icons on desktop and load useful data to the applications.
Well it was a matter of time before it would happen. That we would have
one year without Warpstock Europe. Working at Mensys I see plenty of
interest in eComStation. But as times change, so does the amount of
time people have to volenteer for something. Two people volenteered to
help out BTW for Warpstock Europe 2012 I would like to thank these
people for the generous offer.
In 2012 there will be *no* Warpstock Europe. In 2011 I organized
Warpstock Europe with Gerrit Schoenmaker and volenteers from the Dutch
OS/2 user group.
This year however things have been REAL busy as Mensys has moved to a
new and bigger office. The Warpstock Europe steering group did put out a call
in 2012 asking if anybody would like to organize Warpstock Europe. We
never received any reply. For years I mostly have been the pushing
engine behind Warpstock Europe getting started or working with other
people to make it happen. I tried to find time in my agenda to work
on Warpstock Europe 2012 but had to little.
I was planning on making Warpstock Europe happen in 2012. The first
attempt I planned I had to move forward and was planning on making the
event happen in November of this year. In the end I decided to move the
event to next year.
I can still get the event organized. But since its now that late in the
year most people have to little time to get time time off from work.
This is however not the deadth of Warpstock Europe! Its going to go for
a wintersleep and it will wake up in the spring of next year.
May 2012 we will have a Warpstock Europe again! To make certain it
happens it will once again be helt in La Place restaurant.
Exact date will be set later this month.
The developer extended the area of work and is working
on auxiliary drivers
USBUHCD.SYS, USBOHCD.SYS, USBEHCD.SYS, USBD.SYS
(hobbes.nmsu.edu -> usbhcd186.zip)
USBRESMG.SYS is in works
Panorama VESA
The internal testing of new Panorama VESA continues:
MTRR registers programming is improved,
so you can use eComStation with Intel Core i3/i5/i7
(else the video output is slow)
The improvements in Panorama VESA can be copied to SNAP later.
Other drivers
Uniaud is updated (Paul Smedley, for new models of PC),
network drivers (MultiMac, for new adapters released in 2012),
ACPI (for new Panorama VESA).
