VOICE: Reminder second OS/2 speakup

24 Sep 2004 18:25:01 -0500


From: "Roderick Klein"

Dear OS/2/eComStation user,

It has been sometime ago that VOICE last organized a SpeakUp. What is a
SpeakUp? Well, its organized via IRC (Internet Relay Chat). On an IRC
SpeakUp you will get a chance to talk to software developers, for
instance. The person/organization/company invited for the SpeakUp will
give a short introduction about himself and the product or project they
work on. And then the real part of the SpeakUp starts! You can ask
questions! Do you like Warpstock (www.warpstock.org)? Warpstock is great,
but Warpstock is only organized once a year. Then you will like VOICE
SpeakUps (depending on the subject, of course). We will try and organize
SpeakUps every month on a subject of interest.

What is new, is that SpeakUps will be organized twice. The first VOICE
SpeakUp of the month will be targeted especially at the US. The second
meeting will be targeted at Asia and Australia. This targeting will be
accomplished by the timing of the IRC to suit the locale.

The first two VOICE SpeakUp will be organized in September. The guest on
that SpeakUp will be Jan van Wijk. Author the DFSEE, the swiss army knife
for hard disk maintenance and data recovery.

The first speakup was on Saturday 11 September 22:00-00:00 GMT. The second
speakup will be on 25 September 10:00-12:00 GMT (targetted at Asia and
Australia). (Both times are London time!!). Note that local time in London
will be from 10:00 to 12:00 on Saturday. In Australia (Sydney time) it
will be Sunday from 19:00 to 21:00!

Unavoidable conflicts on the normal 4th Thursday meeting date (September

SEPTEMBER MEETING AGENDA
------------------------
A most interesting agenda is being prepared for the September and October
meetings: ** File sharing between OS/2 & Linux ** One system running
RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 Workstation (RedHat 9.1); the other OS/2 4.52
(with TCP/IP 4.3). In these hands-on sessions, we'll explore file sharing
between networked OS/2 and Linux PCs.

Part 1, on the first of the 2-month series, will deal with the setup of a
Network File System (NFS) server and client on OS/2 and Linux. Part 2, the
following month, will deal with NETBIOS (Server Message Block, aka Samba)
based file sharing. All the necessary protocols and user access
configurations on each OS will be covered. Interested users are encouraged
to attend both of these two meetings of high current interest.

Other September agenda items include announcements, news & new software
releases, Q&A session, and possible 50/50 raffle. Pizza will be ordered if
there is sufficient interest.
