| mandie | ah, why can't they email them to me :(
|
| Sector | Maybe we should invite Steve Ballmer to one of our speakups,
Bill Gates II.
|
| Sector | I'd like to see Mr. Soyring in one of thses chat sessions ...
moderated of
|
| Sector | course.
|
| mandie | now I know why they didn't bother :)
|
| Sector | Don't ask me, I just live here
|
| mandie | lol
|
| Sector | Well, the first one at least could be usuable...
|
| mandie | ah, Adrian...yes
|
| mandie | You might have more pull with him than I do :)
|
| * | Sector gives mandie a ten mouse power engine to pull with
|
| mandie | hehe
|
| Sector | Ok, now where's that vice president to call this meeting to
orderù
|
| Sector | (besides being fashionably late as usuall)
|
| * | WarpHoss thinks Swanee may attempt a coup.
|
| Sector | Yeah, maybe he's busy planning that
|
| mandie | he's probably trying to find his bow tie...can't wear a tux
without a bow tie you know :)
|
| mandie | lol
|
| WarpHoss | lol
|
| WarpHoss | could be lookin for guido... or someone to help him with the
coup attempt.
|
| mandie | with Wayne....ANYTHING is possible :)
|
| * | WarpHoss abstains from agreement.
|
| Sector | Hi MADvirc
|
| mandie | hiya Mark
|
| MADvirc | Hello all
|
| MADvirc | Are we bothering with a meeting tonight?
|
| Sector | We've got one scheduled...
|
| Sector | Just not too many participants
|
| mandie | I think we should discuss WarpTech 2000
|
| WarpHoss | Amongst a few other things.
|
| MADvirc | OK then someone list an agenda
|
| mandie | oh yes...*those* too :)
|
| mandie | you are MAD! :)
|
| mandie | I didn't see any agenda posted....did I miss something?
|
| WarpHoss | WPTCH2000 , speakup ideas, WD and anything else that comes
up.
|
| WarpHoss | In the tradition of Dan and Swannee informal is best.
|
| MADvirc | Neither did I, but I haven't felt well all weekend, and I'd
like this to go smoother then meetings have been of late
|
| WarpHoss | I would too MADvirc.
|
| WarpHoss | Sorry to hear you been feelin bad.
|
| MADvirc | No big deal, just tthattime of year
|
| * | Sector thinks MAD needs a nurse
|
| * | WarpHoss thinks since Swanee is alone he'll be along shortly...
|
| mandie | 8:15 cutoff and then you start the mtg, plz :)
|
| WarpHoss | So Mandie... what about WarpTech2000 and the POSSI gang?
|
| WarpHoss | ^^^^^^ me just did start the meeting.
|
| Sector | Ok, we've got another 3 hours and 5 minutes then mandie...
|
| mandie | ok, from the WarpTech planning list..I'm not sure if it's
posted yet or not
|
| mandie | Exhibitor fees will be $350 until 2-29-99
|
| mandie | then $450 thereafter
|
| Rat-Salad | brb
|
| WarpHoss | Steep.
|
| mandie | each booth registered includes 3 lunches for one person
|
| mandie | additional lunches will be available for $25/ea
|
| mandie | I think so too...I wonder if it is worth our while
|
| WarpHoss | and a massueuse 2 of those 3 days?
|
| mandie | there should be :)
|
| Sector | Oh, WarpHoss want's to fund it out of his own pocket
|
| MADvirc | $25 for lunch?
|
| WarpHoss | !Not!
|
| MADvirc | or is that for 3 lunches?
|
| mandie | maybe the massage is during lunch?
|
| mandie | >Additional lunches will be available for our cost of $25
each.
|
| WarpHoss | hey now that could work! :)
|
| mandie | per W2K email list
|
| mandie | we need to do some financial analysis
|
| mandie | we have and will continue to support Warpstock..
|
| mandie | now there is WarpTech
|
| mandie | I don't know if there will be another WarpExpo West or not
|
| mandie | but that would be 3 annual events
|
| mandie | I don't think our budget can handle that
|
| Sector | Hey, WarpExpo West didn't cut into the budget...
|
| MADvirc | Were we ever officially invited to WT?
|
| mandie | no no...I'm not saying it did
|
| Sector | Nothing currently planned that I know of for another one
though
|
| mandie | BUT, we should be contributing to help SCOUG also
|
| mandie | that came completely out of the SCOUG budget
|
| mandie | on the other hand
|
| mandie | if they had the financial resources to pull it off...then we
shouldn't feel that we need to contribute
|
| MADvirc | Well if we could just get more people to join we could do a
lot more for the OS/2 community.
|
| Sector | That would be good
|
| * | WarpHoss thinks that our committment right now is to the members and our own projects. We should ask ourselves a few questions... before we decide.
|
| Sector | WarpStock helps with membership, WarpExpo West resulted in
zero new members, don't know about WarpTech
|
| mandie | WarpHoss: agreed....if WarpDoctor is going to start costing
us...then we need to get some figures
|
| WarpHoss | 1. What will WPTK2000 do for our existing members.
|
| mandie | zippo
|
| mandie | but then again...what did WS99 do for our members?
|
| WarpHoss | 2. Will WPTK2000 do to increase our membership?
|
| WarpHoss | what will oops.
|
| MADvirc | Did you mess your pants?
|
| mandie | I highly doubt we would see many new members from WT2000
|
| WarpHoss | 3. Will WPT2000 benefit or help us towards our goal of
educating the OS/2 Commununity?
|
| MADvirc | Well it should help there
although.....WT2000 is slated to be a technical
|
| mandie | conference...and we might get alot of play out of presenting
WarpDoctor
|
| MADvirc | Agreed on that
I agree, WT2000 will have a lot of POSSI members I would
|
| Sector | imagine, but how many would look to joining VOICE as wellù
WEW was SCOUG, and we didn't pick up any new members there...
|
| MADvirc | To present though do we need a booth?
|
| mandie | we wouldn't be educating the os2 community....it would be
WT2000...so it has nothing to do with our goal
|
| mandie | I wouldn't think so
|
| WarpHoss | WT2000 is OS/2 focused is it not?
|
| mandie | yes it is
|
| mandie | but WE are not putting it on...
|
| mandie | 3. Will WPT2000 benefit or help us towards our goal of
educating the
|
| mandie | OS/2 Commununity?
|
| WarpHoss | if we participate it's possible it could. //Iphrased that
question wrong.
|
| mandie | it almost sounds like we're under the umbrella...and that's
not the case
|
| mandie | do we have volunteers that are willing to man the booth for 3
days?
|
| WarpHoss | I'd volunteer but travel of that disatnace is out of the
question on those dates.
|
| MADvirc | I won't be there. Anyone else planning to be there?
|
| mandie | I won't be there
|
| Sector | Not me
|
| MADvirc | Do we have any members local to Phoenix?
|
| mandie | yep, POSSI's president :)
|
| WarpHoss | Well So far I haven't seen anything to justify the
expenditure.
|
| mandie | but, I don't think we could tie him up for 3 days :)
|
| Sector | Some SCOUG members are planning on attending, including Dave
Watson who is also a VOICE member
|
| MADvirc | Well we could ask our members
|
| WarpHoss | and if WD progresses to the point we need to announce it then
what's another 100 or so?
|
| MADvirc | I certainly wouldn't spend $350-450 without knowing someone
will be there
|
| WarpHoss | I vote to NO to booth at WT2000.
|
| mandie | presentation shouldn't cost us
|
| mandie | nay here also
|
| MADvirc | Lynn gonna be there?
|
| Sector | Hmmm, not sure
|
| Sector | Guess we could ask him when he gets back from the theatre
|
| Rat-Salad | back
|
| Sector | wb Rat-Salad
|
| MADvirc | I'd say no to wt2000 at this point. Maybe next year if we
have the funds.
|
| Sector | Hi Chrissy
|
| Chrissy | hey
|
| MADvirc | Has any1 heard from Wayne or the Peters?
|
| Sector | No on the booth, maybe a presentation though
|
| WarpHoss | What do you think about WT2000 mandie?
|
| mandie | I say nay
|
| mandie | I don't think that VOICE will benefit from it
|
| MADvirc | If Lynn is going he would handle the presentation I would
think.
|
| Sector | Wayne was in here last night...
|
| WarpHoss | and not completely can the presentation idea if the need
arises?
|
| mandie | unless...WarpDoctor needs some promoting and we have someone
available that knows what they are talking about to do so
|
| WarpHoss | ok agenda item one handled.
|
| MADvirc | item 2?
|
| WarpHoss | Suggestions for Speakups.
|
| mandie | I haven't heard from any members as yet
|
| * | WarpHoss wanted to make sure no one disagreed with item one bein handled.
|
| mandie | can we go back to 1
|
| mandie | just for a second
|
| WarpHoss | sure.
|
| WarpHoss | Robert left with his rules....
|
| mandie | I think we should present the idea to the members
|
| WarpHoss | ahh an ammendment.
|
| mandie | we should also tell them...that it will be based on
volunteers being available to man the booth
|
| MADvirc | Funny, I think someone else said that
|
| WarpHoss | ok. Not a bad idea.
|
| MADvirc | :-)
|
| mandie | Mad: ah, I must have missed it
|
| mandie | if they do vote to get a booth...and if we have the
volunteers to man it
|
| WarpHoss | We are gonna base our decision to get a booth on availability
of personnell to manage it?
|
| madodel | Well we could ask our members
|
| WarpHoss | hmmm....
|
| mandie | yep, I missed it :)
|
| WarpHoss | I did also.
|
| WarpHoss | :(
|
| mandie | well, atleast it's good to know that we're still on the same
wave length :)
|
| MADvirc | OK, WH want to draft a memo to the members?
|
| WarpHoss | I'll see what I can whip up.
|
| Sector | Creamù
|
| WarpHoss | Merengue.
|
| WarpHoss
|
| WarpHoss | Anyone have any other ideas for WT2000?
|
| * | WarpHoss going once....
|
| * | WarpHoss ..... going twice ......
|
| MADvirc | gone
|
| WarpHoss | kewl.
|
| WarpHoss | ok Suggestions for speakups.
|
| Sector | Sold to the gentleman in front with the VOICE t-shirt
Back to item 2. How about Jim Read of FileStar/2 fame? I had
|
| MADvirc | asked him a while back, but he was busy. Said he'd consider
doing one though.
|
| WarpHoss | Lynn requested the Netlabs guru as Sector brought up earlier.
|
| mandie | that would be good...they've just released an update
|
| MADvirc | He also handles Unimaint now that SoftTouch dropped all OS/2
products.
|
| mandie | UniMaint also has a recent CSD
|
| WarpHoss | I would suggest the guy from FreeOS.
|
| * | WarpHoss also thinks it would be acoup to get Daniela Engert for a special Saturday session.
|
| mandie | great idea!
|
| MADvirc | Any chance on the Odin guys?
|
| WarpHoss | that's the netalbs gut Adrian Geschwend.
|
| WarpHoss | isn't it?
|
| mandie | yes
|
| WarpHoss | I type too fast.
|
| WarpHoss | :)
|
| mandie | I believe he's busy with exams right now.....
|
| WarpHoss | but in month or soo....
|
| WarpHoss | maybe not as busy.
|
| mandie | right...I would just hold off emailing him for about a month
|
| mandie | I'd like to get a schedule setup for the entire year
|
| MADvirc | Dani would be a great speakup. She has a hand in a lot of
things going on
|
| mandie | or atleast 3 months in advance
|
| * | WarpHoss thought the liason was going to do that... contacting and arranging....
|
| mandie | WarpHOss: I will and do :)
|
| WarpHoss | danke.
|
| mandie | unless, someone has something going on the side with someone
:)
|
| WarpHoss | :) your good at it.
|
| madodel | KICK MADvirc :your dead
|
| mandie | well, that was very serious!
|
| madodel | Emtec FTP froze and eventually took everything else with it
|
| WarpHoss | hmm we should have taken him seriously when he said he didn't
feel good. :)
|
| mandie | lol
|
| Sector | Since he's still here I would guess it was one of his clones
that got sick and was killed off...
|
| madodel | or perhaps I'm the clone and killed the original?
|
| WarpHoss | so mandie how many do you have on your list?
|
| Sector | That could be too
|
| mandie | right now I have Jim Read, Adrian Geschwend and Daniela :)
|
| mandie | I think it's time to have Tim Sipples back and I'd like to
invite Mike Persell
|
| WarpHoss | Do you have a particular person in mind ... ?
|
| mandie | Mike has taken a new position in IBM, but I'm not sure what
it is
|
| Sector | Mike's in Austin at the moment for a week
|
| WarpHoss | hmm... pshychic mandie.
|
| mandie | hehe
|
| WarpHoss | Just to toss out an idea.....
|
| mandie | toss on
|
| Sector | The clone has come back for revengeð
|
| WarpHoss | as for something that would garner attention,
|
| WarpHoss | and get maximum bang for the time spent....
|
| madodel | yes?
|
| * | Sector is holding his breath...
|
| mandie | stop hemming and hawing....get to the point :)
what do you folks think about 2 special guests at once in a
|
| WarpHoss | discussion amongst themselves... moderated by one or two
others...
|
| Sector | Could be interesting, who do you have in mindù
|
| WarpHoss | Say on a saturday... ..
|
| MADvirc | How about Tim Martin and Dan Casey?
|
| mandie | yes, who....we don't want to put two developers up against
each other :)
|
| WarpHoss | ROFL
|
| mandie | LOL
|
| mandie | better yet...Tim and Esther!
|
| WarpHoss | Nooo I didn't mean two developers against each other...
|
| MADvirc | OK, Tim, Dan and Esther
|
| WarpHoss | Timur.
|
| mandie | do you plan on paying him!
|
| mandie | what would Timur discuss?
|
| WarpHoss | j/k.
|
| WarpHoss | no seriously...
|
| mandie | wonder if there's any news on the Netscape homefront
|
| WarpHoss | Say Persell and Kaply...
|
| WarpHoss | or maybe God forbid the presidents of scoug and possi,
|
| WarpHoss | or the guy from os2.org and scoug president.
|
| mandie | hey, SCOUG is taking an active part in WarpTech
|
| WarpHoss | any combo of those we have in line...
|
| MADvirc | mandie: did you ever ask WT if they would like to do a
speakup?
|
| WarpHoss | I'd like to get Dan Porter.
|
| mandie | I would need to know the topic and I wouldn't want any two
together that would cause problem
|
| WarpHoss | And the guy from Relish...
|
| mandie | MAD: sure did...right after we discussed it and Esther felt
it was too early
|
| mandie | I can extend another invite...they do have more info to
present now
|
| mandie | WarpHoss: why would you want Dan Porter?
|
| mandie | I can see alot of flaming due to him dropping the ball on
JStreet Mailer
|
| mandie | he's basically stopped supporting OS/2
|
| WarpHoss | Why not? I'd like to know the real reasons behind his
failures as a vendor for OS/2.
|
| MADvirc | Speaking of JSM, We could ask the PolarBar crew to do a
speakup
|
| mandie | well, I made a couple of requests for him to do a speakup and
never got a respons
|
| WarpHoss | yes we could MADvirc.
|
| mandie | and that's when he still supported os/2
|
| MADvirc | WH: Lack of customer support
|
| WarpHoss | I like the idea... of the dual speakup .. as long as we set
the topic and arrange the right two people.
|
| WarpHoss | gsahca : please forgive me for not greeting you earlier.
welcome to #voice.
|
| gsahca | Thank you and good evening
|
| WarpHoss | Redoaks. Long time no see.
|
| Redoaks | Hello Warphoss & all
|
| Redoaks | Did anyone elses GTIRC blow up?
|
| Redoaks | I'm back on EZirc
|
| mandie | Redoaks: do you have the latest ifx for GTIRC?
|
| mandie | ifx=fix :)
|
| Redoaks | Mandie ???
|
| mandie | just a sec
|
| Sector | Blow up in what wayù
|
| Redoaks | Locks the desktop to a 3-finger salute
|
| Sector | On startupù
|
| * | WarpHoss lets the channel drift...
|
| Redoaks | Sector-yes
|
| Sector | Ctrl-ESC twice will fix that
|
| Sector | Or the latest patch for 3.x also fixes the problem
|
| MADvirc | WH: we about done with item 2.?
|
| Redoaks | Tried it-no go
|
| Sector | Started with Fixpack 10 or 11
|
| MADvirc | 5
|
| mandie | Redoaks: go here and check out the CSD
http://www.gt-online.com/html/gt_irc.html
|
| Redoaks | OK Thanx Mandie
|
| WarpHoss | I think we are about done MADvirc.
|
| Sector | It sure wasn't fixpack five, I didn't have the problem till
either 10 or 11...
|
| MADvirc | Hmmm, maybe that's why I can't seem to use GTIRC 3 in W4 FP12
anymore. Works fine on WSeb though
|
| Sector | Get the latest patch, or hit Ctrl-Esc a couple of times after
starting
|
| mandie | the freeze became a problem with fp11
|
| mandie | a notice went out August 4, 1999
|
| Sector | Yeah, thought it was 11, but I never put 10 on this system I
use for IRC so I wasn't sure
|
| Redoaks | I went from FP8 to FP12
|
| mandie | It was due to a problem loading OS/2 multimedia modules
|
| mandie | I'd suggest the CSD :)
|
| Sector | That doesn't work for 2.07 though...
|
| mandie | no, it's for 3.0
|
| Sector | Uh huh...
|
| mandie | where are we with the agenda
|
| WarpHoss | we finished item one and item 2 is almost gone.
|
| WarpHoss | item 3 is anything we didn't cover in one and 2.
|
| mandie | that about covers it :)
|
| WarpHoss | lol.
|
| WarpHoss | for those who weren't here earlier :
|
| WarpHoss | !ask log
|
| VoiceBot | [log] http://abelmcc5.rbdc.com/cgi-bin/ghosthoss.cmd?
(Sector)
|
| WarpHoss | hello IronHead you snuck in when I was distracted. :)
|
| mandie | that's a pretty broad statement :)
|
| WarpHoss | lol
|
| Ironhead | hi WarpHoss Thats how I get things done!
|
| WarpHoss | ok so item 3 is general interest. Anything anoyone wants to
bring up or discuss?
|
| Redoaks | yeah-does anyone know how well Aurora replaces the Warp 4 on
a desktop?
|
| Rat-Salad | does great here
|
| MADvirc | Do you need SMP?
|
| WarpHoss | the beta or WSeB?
|
| Redoaks | I'm not sure, I really want an upgraded Warp
|
| Sector | Aurora was the beta of WSeB
|
| Redoaks | Will it run Win OS/2
|
| MADvirc | It certainly certainly isn't worth $1600 for a desktop
|
| mandie | Brianna is requesting a lullabye...brb
|
| Redoaks | Look what people pay for NT
|
| MADvirc | unless you really need SMP
|
| Redoaks | What is SMP?
|
| Sector | Symetrical Multi Processing
|
| MADvirc | Symetric Multi-Processing
|
| Sector | More then one processor in the same system...
|
| Redoaks | Thank you
|
| Redoaks | I don't need that, but who knows in the future
|
| Redoaks | Is there anything Warp4 does that WSeB cannot?
|
| Sector | What do you need upgraded in 4ù
|
| MADvirc | RIght now WSeb = W4+FP10 with the addition of SMP support,TCP/IP 4.2.1. Minus VTD and the bonus pak apps.
|
| Redoaks | IMHO 4 needs a kernal upgrade. Sooner or later something will come up Daniella cannot patch
|
| Redoaks | I don't like Linux and hate MS.
|
| MADvirc | Good night all
|
| Sector | You left out the server addons, not too usefull on the desktop though
|
| mandie | nytol :)
|
| Sector | Goodnight MADvirc
|
| MADvirc | I am using LAN Server, but not PSNS
|
| MADvirc | BTW, it seems WSeb(the Aurora GA) doesn't like Peer
|
| MADvirc | And changing anything in MMOS2 is a real PITA. there is no Selective Uninstall for MMOS2 as there is in W4
|
| Sector | Hello DSOMber1
|
| DSOMber1 | Hello all.
|
| MADvirc | But WSeb does have DOS+win-OS/2 support
|
