News about Warpstock Europe 2012

2012-05-22 14:51:27 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [VOICENWS, Mensys BV]

Hello everybody,

It's that time again of year, well not this year... I (Roderick Klein) already had plans to organize Warpstock Europe 2012 in May of this year. But things have been rather busy at Mensys, we moved to a new office in Haarlem. We also asked for other people to join the Warpstock Steering group or people who want to organize Warpstock Europe. It has not been that this call has been answered with an overwelming amount of emails.

Anyway I'm working with some people to make Warpstock Europe happen. This would we somewhere in November of this year. Possible location is Rotterdam this year. We are looking at the options.

Since it has been so silent around Warpstock Europe 2012 I wanted to send out a sign of life. If you don't happen to hear anything soon or don't see the website updated then don't panic. Its being worked but its just busy times.

Regards, Roderick Klein, Mensys B.V.
