Official Announcement from OS/2VOICE
From the Office of the Secretary:
------------------
Warpicity Speakup
VOICE has arranged with Larry Finkelstein and the OS2
Central Forum to co-sponsor the Warpicity Speakup which
will take place on Compuserve. Compuserve doesn't use IRC
protocols, so please think of it going in along terms of
our continuing mission to boldly go where no Speakup has
gone before. :)
Warpicity itself is a thoughtful and interesting approach
to software development and distribution.. Lynn Maxson's
article in the June 1999 VOICE Newsletter can be found
here:

How to get there:
Compuserve conferencing functions are available to
nonmembers running either Netscape 2.02 or Communicator/2
provided Java 1.1.6 or higher is installed and correctly
configured.
From http://go.compuserve.com/os2central the server will
redirect your browser to a page that serves as the entrance
to the OS2Central Forum (The precise URL may vary depending
on your location and method of connection.) From, there,
click on the "Chat" button to load the Java applet. The
Warpicity Speak-up session will be held in conference room
20. To get there, select 20 Warpicity from the room list
and then click Enter to bring up a chat window that will
look reasonably familiar.
Users entering through the applet will show up as {Guests},
and will not be able to change their names. For Compuserve
members only, this limitation can be overcome by logging
into the conference via OS2-CIM, which is bundled in the
BonusPak of every edition of Warp 3 or higher. Compuserve
membership is not required to simply attend the conference.
This means that this Speakup will not take place on
Webbnet! However, VOICE members will be multitasking from
our usual Webbnet location to assist with help and realtime
instructions on how to access the Compuserve forum.
We recommend that users not familiar with the technology
visit the conference site ahead of time briefly to get
familiar with the medium.
OS/2 Warp System Requirements:
OS/2 Warp 3 with IAK or OS/2 Warp 4
Java 1.1.6 runtime correctly configured or higher. (The
Java version 1.0.2 provided with the base Warp 4
installation that installs by default into \JAVAOS2 will
definitely not work.)
Netscape Navigator 2.02 or Netscape Communicator 4.04
Minimum Fixpak 5 for Warp 4
Minimum Fixpak 37 for Warp 3
We hope everyone interested will attend. Not only would a
large attendance encourage Compuserve overall to take
greater notice of their OS/2 support efforts, but it also
builds stronger links between our community and our friends
and counterparts at OS2Central. We'll see you there.
The Speakup will be held on Monday, July 12, 1999 at
8:00PM Eastern (0:00GMT).
