As last year Warpstock Europe 2000 again offers a large variety of
sessions and workshops related to all kinds of topics:

o OS/2 in General
o OS/2 Applications
o The Internet and OS/2
o OS/2 in Local Area Networks
o OS/2 Development

Everyone, regardless of being enduser, developer or businessman, will
be able to find something interesting.

There are currently 23 sessions and workshops, all of which will be
held in the ENGLISH language. Further information on each session and
workshop, the speakers, and a timetable can be obtained from our home
page at:

Have a look at the following small selection from the program:

o OS/2 in Embedded Devices and where you would never expect it
    (by Achim Hasenmueller)

  OS/2 is proving its strengths not only on the corporate desktop and
  server machines. Embedded OS/2 is found on a broad variety of
  devices, ranging from control systems in nuclear power plants to
  multimedia set-top boxes. This presentation compares popular
  embedded operating systems and shows, how OS/2 competes with the
  market leaders. You will see a popular European set-top box running
  Embedded OS/2, incorporating some unique and amazing technologies.


o UpcdCd - applying OS/2 fixpaks in a different way (by Zsolt Kadar)

  UpdCD is a REXX program, which can be used to produce updated
  copies of the Warp 4 installation CD-ROM. The resulting CD-ROM
  integrates all the fixes and updates supported by UpdCD and can be
  used to easily install a Y2K compliant copy of OS/2 on large hard
  disks without applying any fixes to the system after installation.


o Connectivity around OS/2 (by Andreas Steinkopf)

  Mr. Steinkopf reports on Connectivity for OS/2 to set up I*-Nets,
  efficient Lotus Notes scenarios and solid Unified Messaging
  solutions.


o gPhoto for OS/2, porting from Linux to OS/2 by example (by Bart van
Leeuwen)

  This session shows by example how to port a linux application to
  OS/2. There is already a wide variety of ported Linux applications
  available for OS/2, showing very well the benefits, that the OS/2
  community can take from the success of the open source apporach of
  Linux and its applications. At the same time this eases the
  so-called "lack of applications" being available for OS/2. 

  Nevertheless porting a Linux application is still some kind of a
  mistery for those, who never dealt with portable code and the
  requirements, that program sources must meet in order to be easily
  portable. Bart van Leeuven will give you a detailed insight into
  what a developer has to take care for when porting a Linux
  application to OS/2, starting from the required tools over
  Linux/Unix-specific details up to encapsulating platform-specific
  code. The program gPhoto, being ported by him, is being taken as an
  example of how to port an existing Linux application and even to
  enhance it with OS/2 PM/WPS features.
