Official Announcement from OS/2VOICE
From the Office of the Secretary:
------------------

Warpicity Speakup 

VOICE has arranged with Larry Finkelstein and the OS2 
Central Forum to co-sponsor the Warpicity Speakup which 
will take place on Compuserve. Compuserve doesn't use IRC 
protocols, so please think of it going in along terms of 
our continuing mission  to boldly go where no Speakup has 
gone before.  :) 

Warpicity itself is a thoughtful and interesting approach 
to software development and distribution.. Lynn Maxson's 
article in the June 1999 VOICE  Newsletter can be found 
here:

How to get there:  

Compuserve conferencing functions are available to 
nonmembers running either Netscape 2.02 or Communicator/2 
provided Java 1.1.6 or higher is installed and correctly 
configured. 

From  http://go.compuserve.com/os2central the server will 
redirect your browser to a page that serves as the entrance 
to the OS2Central Forum (The precise URL may vary depending 
on your location and method of connection.)  From, there, 
click on the "Chat" button to load the Java applet.  The
Warpicity Speak-up session will be held in conference room 
20. To get there, select 20  Warpicity from the room list 
and then click Enter to bring up a chat window that will 
look reasonably familiar. 

Users entering through the applet will show up as {Guests}, 
and will not be able to change their names.  For Compuserve 
members only, this limitation can be overcome by logging 
into the conference via OS2-CIM, which is bundled in the 
BonusPak of every edition of Warp 3 or higher. Compuserve 
membership is not required to simply attend the conference. 

This means that this Speakup will not take place on 
Webbnet!  However, VOICE members will be multitasking from 
our usual Webbnet location to assist with help and realtime 
instructions on how to access the Compuserve forum. 

We recommend that users not familiar with the technology 
visit the conference site ahead of time briefly to get 
familiar with the medium. 

OS/2 Warp System Requirements: 
        
OS/2 Warp 3 with IAK or OS/2 Warp 4 

Java 1.1.6 runtime correctly configured or higher.  (The 
Java version 1.0.2 provided with the base Warp 4 
installation that installs by default into \JAVAOS2 will 
definitely not work.) 

Netscape Navigator 2.02 or Netscape Communicator 4.04 

Minimum Fixpak 5 for Warp 4 
Minimum Fixpak 37 for Warp 3 
             
We hope everyone interested will attend.  Not only would a 
large attendance encourage Compuserve overall to take 
greater notice of their OS/2 support efforts, but it also 
builds stronger links between our community and our friends 
and counterparts at OS2Central.  We'll see you there. 

The Speakup will be held on  Monday, July 12, 1999 at 
8:00PM  Eastern (0:00GMT).
