            Announcement: New UK OS/2 User group

In the last few months a growing number of OS/2 users in the British
Isles have decided to start a new OS/2 users group. We are mainly
individuals in the SOHO market, but we also have members who use Warp
in a larger environment.

The group is in its embryonic stages yet, so everyone can have an
input into how it is run and what its objectives are. Membership is
open to anyone with an interest in OS/2.

We have started a UK OS/2 mailing list. To subscribe, send a message
with 'subscribe os2uk' in the body to
majordomo@sross.anglianet.co.uk. If you have not got a confirmation
from the mailing list that you have subscribed within a few days,
please try again.

The web site is up and going the page:

  http://www.denzil71.demon.co.uk/os2ug.html 

will point you to it or it is at:

  http://www.denzil71.demon.co.uk/os2 

Archives of recent mailings are available.

Some ideas we are considering:
  1. Regular newsletters
  2. Meetings
  3. Mini-conferences
  4. Warp demonstrations
  5. A Web Page
  6. Promote OS/2 friendly retailers (???)
  7. Campaigns to promote OS/2, Freedom of Choice etc
  8. Ongoing recruitment
  9. Workshops
 10. Speaker meetings
 11. Encourage the setting up of local groups
 12. A UK Warpstock, if nobody else is organising it,
     but not to take away from a European Warpstock
 13. Educate local computer user groups
 14. Name for the group

Recent discussion on the List focused on:

Planning an Initial members meeting - picking the date and venue
Warpstock, UK anyone?

Designing a Web site - we have volunteers for contributing a site and
doing the graphics

Web site - brainstorming on the contents Identifying OS/2 software
retailers and promoting them in some way on the web site; adding
links with other OS/2 web sites and making them reciprical where
possible.
