Mag: VOICE Newsletter 08/2004 cancelled!

02 Aug 2004 08:01:30 -0500


From: "Christian Hennecke"

We regret to inform you that we have to cancel the August issue of the
VOICE Newsletter due to lack of articles.

This has not been an easy decision, but if we had waited for more articles
instead, the result would have been a very belated and rushed August
issue. Moreover, this would also have had an impact on the September
issue. So instead of publishing two rushed issues, we would rather skip
one in favour of quality.

We would also like to remind the OS/2 community that the OS/2-related
online magazines are an effort that relies purely on voluntary work -
meaning also that YOU are the ones who have to volunteer for writing
articles. Please help keep the OS/2 information resources alive by
submitting articles, tips, and news. Then we can take care of the rest.

Article drafts or ideas can be sent to editor@os2voice.org
OS/2 and eComStation tips can be sent to tips@os2voice.org

There is a guideline for article submission at:
English: http://www.os2voice.org/newsletter_submission.html
German: http://de.os2voice.org/newsletter_submission.html

An FAQ on the newsletter can be found at:
English: http://www.os2voice.org/newsletter_faq.html

Event: SCOUG meeting July 17: Emperoar TV and more

15 Jul 2004 10:15:10 -0500


From: Gary Wong

The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) will
be this Saturday, July 17, at 10:00 AM PDT, at the Fountain Valley
Library, Community Room, 17635 Los Alamos, Fountain Valley, CA 92708.

Multimedia Continues

We ran out of time in June, so Jerry Rash (Mr. Media to SCOUGites) will
come in July to demo EmperoarTV (http://www.s-t.de/emperoar/), which
allows you to play TV and radio on your PC.

Jerry has some other things up his sleeve as well. It will be a rousing
multimedia meeting!

Take Note: Two things are different this month. First, we are meeting at
the Fountain Valley Library in July & August due to space constraints at
Eastside Christian School in Fullerton (we plan to return to the school in
September). Second, the meeting starts at 10 AM instead of 9:30.


Help Desk chats are on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PDT. If you've got a
problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask for help. Info
is at http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html.

OS/2 Live Help Desk, August 8, 2004, 2 PM PDT, Chapman University in
Orange:

At the live OS/2 Help Desk, volunteers will give you hands-on assistance
solving your hardware and software problems. It is usually held the first
Sunday of the month in cooperation with the OS/2 SIG of the North Orange
County Computer Club. However, in July and August, it will be the second
Sunday of the month.

Come to Hashinger Hall Science Building, room 203. It's on the second
floor, and there's an elevator to bring up your equipment. Bring your
system and all related hardware and software, along with a detailed
explanation of your problem.


Directions to SCOUG meetings and events:
For the Fountain Valley Library, there is a local map at
http://www.ocpl.org/25map.asp. From the San Diego (I-405) freeway, exit
at Brookhurst going north. Turn right (going east) on Slater, and then
another right (going south) on Los Alamos. The library and parking will
be on your right-hand side.

For the Help Desk and other meetings at Chapman University, go to
http://www.scoug.com/directions.html. There you will find various links
to maps/directions for Chapman University.

Please join us! Visit us at http://www.scoug.com/.
