Warpstock is an annual conference for the OS/2 and eComStation operating
systems and related technology. It is dedicated to information,
education, support, and exchange and addresses users, developers, and
software vendors. To achieve these goals, the event offers seminars and
workshops, exhibition areas, and room for personal exchange.
Warpstock conferences are held in different parts of the world. The
originating event is targeted at the users of the United States of
America and Canada, while the Warpstock Europe event obviously is its
European counterpart. Also, there is the Warpstock Czech Repuplic, which
dedicated to the community within the Czech Republic and countries of
Eastern Europe.
OS/2 and eComStation users from Europe--and anywhere else for that
matter--are invited to come to Germany this year to attend Warpstock
Europe 2008. The Event Team has many ideas on what to offer during this
three day OS/2-fest.
Warpstock Europe 2008 will be an excellent opportunity to attend
high-quality presentations about a variety of OS/2- and
eComStation-related subjects, exchange ideas with other developers, meet
the people behind projects, get support from user groups, and talk to
other users.
Located in the heart of Western Europe near the Dutch border, Düsseldorf
is at a convenient travelling distance for people coming from Germany,
the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France. Attendees flying in
from other countries will arrive at Düsseldorf International Airport,
which is only 10 km away from the event location. The distance to the
railway station Düsseldorf Main Station is 5 km. Public transport to the
event location is available.
Following a complete refurbishment, Düsseldorf now boasts the most
modern youth hostel in Europe. The City Hostel offers 96 sunny and
stylish rooms, all with ensuite shower and toilet facilites, and 386
beds. The innovatively designed building also houses a very popular
bistro and outdoor terrace--the perfect place to unwind after a busy day
in this exciting city! Four conference rooms will host sessions,
workshops, and the exhibition area, while a restaurant takes care of the
physical well-being. The hostel is located directly at the left bank of
the river Rhine opposite the famous historic city centre, making it a
perfect starting point for everybody who wants to extend his visit
beyond the duration of the event itself and avail themselves to the
opportunity of a broad range of cultural offerings.
Behind the organisation of Warpstock Europe 2008 is an international
group of OS/2 users, lead by Wolfgang Wilms, chairman of organiser Team
OS/2 Deutschland e.V., and Christian Langanke, chairman of the
supporting Team OS/2 Ruhr e.V. Both have vast experience in running such
events as they already created Warpstock Europe 1999 in Bochum and
Warpstock Europe 2000 in Karlsruhe, and provided support for other
events. This event will again benefit from the support of warpevents.eu,
an organisation with the goal of enabling others to create OS/2-related
events by providing information about event organisation, a
communication and coordination center, and the means for running event
web sites as well.
