From: Guillaume Gay

New "home made" pointer sets for OS/2 and eComStation have been uploaded to
hobbes.



You'll find :

- The Shadok Pointers v19960531 for OS/2 and eComStation

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?sh=1&key=SHADOK

- The Don't Worry Be Happy Pointers v19960531 for OS/2 and eComStation

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?sh=1&key=SMILEY

- The eBall Pointers v20070509 for eComStation

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?sh=1&key=EBALLPTR

From: Paul Smedley

Hi All,

Just to let people know that there is a spiffy new site design at
http://smedley.info/os2ports - with many thanks to Joachim Benjamins from
Mensys for doing the initial work to setup the site in a CMS.

For those that are interested, the site is done using CMS made simple
(http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/) and is (of course) running on eComStation
with my ports of Apache2 v2.2.4, MySQL v5.0.41 & PHP v5.2.2

Cheers,

Paul.

Piano Launchpad Screenshot

Piano Launchpad is developed by precise plan. We are going implement:
* utility to attach PNG icon to a file
* perform interpolation of resized icons (if your version of OS doesn't
provide this)
* share a library to load PNG icons for thirdparty developers
* add more options, more actions
* Improve help, write review

Send us bug-reports and suggestions today. We should complete the project
in 2 monthes.

Event: SCOUG Meeting May 19, 2007: GIMP Your Photos

2007-05-15
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Tom Brown

It's all about OS/2. Always! Great folks and good info. And everyone is
invited to participate.

Sandy Shapiro has volunteered to present this month. His topic is on the
installation and use of the Gimp (which is open source software) with
HOBLink. Gimp is short for GNU Image Manipulation Program, so Sandy will be
showing us how he works magic with photos and graphics.

Lynn Maxson, leading the Programming SIG, wants everyone to understand that
there is no one programming language that works best in all situations. The
prefab, reusable component approach to programming is not what good
programming is all about, and Lynn will continue to explain distinctions
between the two approaches this month.

Plus, as always, free coffee and donuts. And good free advice to help solve
your system problems (how could anyone have system problems with OS/2?).
Come have a great Saturday morning with SCOUG.
