Call for Warpstock 2004 bids
It has been about 4 months since we last sent out a notice looking to see
if there is any interest from any group to make a bid for hosting
Warpstock 2004. To date we have had a few questions about the hosting
process, but no one has actually stated an interest in submitting a bid.
The deadline for submitting an interest in making a bid is December 31,
2003. Actual completed bids are due by February 28, 2004. So if you are
thinking about doing so, now is the time to let us know.
Warpstock 2003 was a success, so we feel there is still sufficient
interest to keep the event going, but we can't do that without the help of
a dedicated local group of OS/2-eComStation users.
Every year some people complain that the location is too far or too
expensive for them to attend. Or people think we are doing the entire
event wrong and should do it more inexpensively (youth hostels/University
setting?) or more professionally, or just different. Here is your chance
to determine the location, the structure and the cost. So if you are
interested in making a bid please send a letter outlining your ideas to madodel@ptdprolog.net. See the
Bid Proposal page http://www.warpstock.org/about/bid_proposal.html for
more information.

LEDPanel 0.8.0 bitmap font
LEDPanel is an OS/2 bitmap font resembling the digits (and letters) of a
LED display. While there are Type 1 and TrueType fonts out there on the
net, they all suffer from the bad font rendering on OS/2.
The LEDPanel font comes for 96dpi and 120dpi system and 3 different faces:
Bold, Condensed and Normal.
Its primary purpose is to be used on digital clocks on the e/xCenter and
other kinds of panels, providing a sharp and neat display in different
styles..

Note on Thunderbird 0.4 re-released
There's a critical bug, as reported thru Bugzilla: Can't run T'Bird at the
same time as (I forgot which: Mozilla or Firebird). Just so OS/2 users
know, and aren't frustrated to otherwise waste time checking numerous
settings, dlls, etc.
NoteBook/2 announcement
Dated 2003/12/12, Dr. Martin Senftleben and os2warp.be reached an
agreement concerning the future of the outdated NoteBook/2 web site,
initially developped by Martin. The web site will be taken over by
os2warp.be and will be given a new home at www.os2warp.be/notebook2, with
the online publication during March 2004. The old web site will be updated
completely. os2warp.be intends to continue the NB/2 initialive and we hope
a lot of motivated OS/2 users report their feedback or write reviews about
particular notebooks and OS/2 or eCS. The old NB/2 web site will be put
offline soon and will then temporarily be hosted at os2warp.be until the
renewed one is finished.
