| Event: Call for Bids Warpstock 2006 |
2005-10-24
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eComStation News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Andy Willis
Warpstock 2005 has now successfully passed into history. NOW is the time
to look into the future toward Warpstock 2006, the tenth annual Warpstock.
The Board of Directors of Warpstock, Inc. is now accepting bids from
groups wishing to host Warpstock 2006. The challenge for the Warpstock
Board is to be able to announce the location of Warpstock 2006 in the not
too distant future.
Teams wishing to bid on hosting Warpstock 2006 should submit an e-mail
letter of their **intent** to host this event to the Board of Directors at
bidsDESPAM@DESPAMwarpstock.org as soon as possible, but not later than
December 1, 2005. This letter of intent does not have to include all of
the details of Warpstock 2006, but needs to indicate the location for the
event, the suggested dates, format, and a commitment from the local group
to put forth the effort needed to stage the event.
The initial Event Team needs only a couple of members to start the process
and can add additional members as necessary as it gets closer to the event
date.
The Board has provided the "Bid Proposal Process" to assist all interested
parties. The Bid Proposal Process is available immediately at:
http://www.warpstock.org/about/bid_proposal.html. Members of the Board of
Directors, who are all members of past Event Teams, will be available to
assist the Teams throughout the entire bid process, including final site
selection.
Now is the time to start!
Let's make Warpstock 2006 the best Warpstock yet!
Warpstock, Inc., is a North Carolina corporation. The Warpstock annual
conference is a gathering of OS/2 users, developers, and vendors from
around the world for the purpose of education and advocacy. More
information is available at the Warpstock web site:

Paul Caron's Electronic Teller 4.3 has been released.
Electronic Teller is a native OS/2 - eCS personal finance program with an
elegant, modern user interface. It handles bank, credit card, cash,
asset, liability, and investment accounts, which are grouped within
portfolios. WPS integration includes drag-and-drop and object launching.
ET is VERY well thought out, extremely fast, configurable, and very
stable. It is remarkably intuitive for a financial program, although it
offers extensive help, and documentation. ET has "Advanced balance
forecasting". Why wait to be depressed about future debt and poverty,
when you can forecast it NOW. Reporting capabilities are extensive. It
also utilizes Blowfish encryption, for the age of identity theft. And
yes, it does have a QIF Converter, so importing/exporting data is
possible.
International language support includes US and UK English, Dutch, French,
German, Portuguese, Spanish.
New in this version:
- Added ability to fetch a stock quote from http://finance.yahoo.com
directly from the Trade dialog in the Investment utility.
- Added Investment Symbol look up abilities to Investment creation
dialog.
- Forecast has been greatly enhanced.
- Transactions dialog has been improved to display more items in the
preview container.
- Account Book and other utilities have been visually enhanced.
- Added a "Double-click for simple addition" entry to the Account Book
to enable users to create a single transaction quickly.
- Popup calendar has been redesigned and is easier to use.
- Navigation buttons in the Investment dialog have been added. -
Added three new options to the Blowfish encryption dialog.
- Added ability to fetch a stock quote from http://finance.yahoo.com
directly from the Trade dialog in the Investment utility.
- AND MUCH MORE...
There is an OS/2 eZine review of ET from March 2003 (NOTE: Many features
and improvements have been added since this review) here:
