I'm going to be arranging the speakers for the next Warpstock. I plan to have
two tracks, one for end-users and one for developers.

Developers
-----------------
setting up development environments
PM programming
WPS programming
Driver programming
Porting from Linux
Working with Databases

End-users
---------------
installation and ACPI
printing and eCups
networking and SAMBA
documents and OpenOffice.org
database
internet
multimedia

Each of these needs to be developed a little bit, and then speakers must be
invited to present on these topics.

Is there anything else you'd want to see yourself if it was presented at
Warpstock?

Neil,
I'm glad you've included "installation and ACPI".  

Probably heresy, but a section on migrating to Linux would help me.

Hi Neil,

That is a certainly a thoughtful start! Is it your intent that the topics 
you listed are in the nature of broad headings, and that there could be
several presentations or sessions related to each? I think the tracks are
a good way to conceptualize it, and you've got a good list of topics!

Regarding the Developer track, I wonder how many people there are who,
like me, have an interest in programming but who know very little about it
and have no idea where to begin? I wonder if there might be a place for
something like "Programming 101" - an introduction or overview and,
perhaps, a strategy for getting started.

For Users, I am glad to see printing and eCups among the topics you
listed.

Another topic might be Drivers. This is a broad area that could include
things like Genmacs, Uniaud, USB, Finding the right drivers for your new
device (scanner, camera, printer, etc.).

I am not sure where this fits topic-wise, but I think a session about
"Laptops and eCS" might be useful. Specifically, if one is shopping for a 
new or used Laptop, what makes and models work well (have good driver
support) with eCS. Similarly, a session about "PC Motherboards and eCS" 
might be useful. It's possible these could be combined, and they might
include information about models now available as well as strategies for
selecting eCS-compatible computers.

A third track might be The Future. This could include topics such as 
Staying Current with eCS, What is Voyager?, What are the Strengths and 
Limitations of eCS in Today's World (given current trends and hardware)? 
Perhaps there could be a brainstorming workshop to develop ideas for ways
to fund ongoing and continued development (such as that being done by Paul
Smedley and others) that would keep eCS current.

Well, these are a few, somewhat disorganized ideas. Hope this helps.

Ted

Hi Neil,

Looks good. Perhaps including Virtualization may be of interest. As there are a few products that do support Virtualizing OS/2 & eComStation (Microsoft Virtual PC & VirtualBox for example).


Sincerely,
James Cannon

Hi Baywarpers!

At the meeting last night, I got a few questions that I'm going to answer here.

First, James wanted more information about his IBM server. For a great wealth
of information about PS/2 computers, check out the 9595 Ardent Tool of
Capitalism.

http://ohlandl.ipv7.net/

A link to the Flash 7 plugin I use with good support for sound in YouTube is on
the BayWarp site, in the blue column on the left side of the screen. The url is:

http://www.baywarp.org/features/flash7_r14.zip

Those of you with Blonde Guy machines should have this already, except for
Keith, who had to install it manually due to a manufacturing error on my part.

Let me know if I missed any questions.

Hi Neil!

I got a powered USB hub and was able to use a USB external keyyboard and
mouse.  I want to connect up to the local ethernet.  The university does
not use pure DHCP but a hybrid version that requires a MAC address from the
laptop.  When I look at the bottom of the machine there are two MAC
addresses.  Which one is for ethernet?  Is the other one for Wi-Fi?

Regards - Bob

On my laptop, there are two labels with the MAC address. The one that says
802.11 a/b/g is the WiFi MAC Address. I'd presume the other one is the wired
address.
