CALL FOR PRESENTERS
 WarpTech: An OS/2 Warp Technical Conference
 May 26 - 28, 2000

The Phoenix OS/2 Society, Inc is creating a special three-day
technical event for OS/2 Warp users, developers, and vendors. The 
event will be held at the world-renowned Wigwam Resort in Litchfield
Park, Arizona, USA (near Phoenix) over Memorial Day weekend. You can
learn more about the event and its venue at:

  http://www.warptech.org 
 
We want technical sessions to cover the gamut from home to corporate
users and from novices to software developers. We're planning
presentation tracks as follows:
 
 * OS/2 software development
 * The Internet and e-business, using OS/2
 * Architecture: the guts of OS/2
 * Connectivity and cross-platform issues
 * The OS/2 marketplace
 * Tips and tricks
 
Several sessions are already booked, ranging from "The OS/2 fixpack
process" to "Take a Message, Maria: OS/2's message passing and the
Single Input Queue" to "A technical introduction to XML." We'll also
have sessions on OS/2 troubleshooting, working with IBM as a business
partner, and REXX programming. But there's still room for more.

If you're interested in exploring the idea of making a presentation
at WarpTech, please contact the program chair, Esther Schindler, at
esther@bitranch.com. (If you have a product you'd like to show --
whether specific for OS/2, friendly to OS/2, or OS-agnostic, contact
the exhibit chair, Marilyn Pizzo, at mpizzo@mindspring.com.)

Here's what I'd need to know, to begin with:
 
 * Your proposed session title. (such as "Building an e-commerce
 site in three days" or "Connecting OS/2 networks with Linux")

 * A paragraph or two describing the topic. (What would the session
 encompass? What will the attendees learn?)

 * Explain why *you're* the right person to give this session.
 (What's your background? Tell me a little about yourself. Why should
 you be the person at the front of the room, talking about this
 subject, rather than someone else?)
 
We can take it from there.

IBM is being quite helpful in supporting WarpTech. If you work for
IBM and we agree that you're the right person to give a 
presentations, IBM is willing to help you do so. Once we agree on the
scope of the session, I'll put you in touch with our IBM liaison,
who's working to streamline the process so that we don't walk on each
other's toes.

Every presentation will be get-your-hands-dirty useful -- no fluff,
no grandstanding, no wishful thinking. This isn't a marketing
conference; it's a *technical* conference, and we want you to go home
with a head full of ready-to-roll ideas about how to use your
computer more effectively. Dozens of OS/2 topics will be offered at
WarpTech 2000, covering everything you've ever needed to know about 
OS/2.

Interested? Contact me via email, and let's get the conversation
started.

--Esther
