The Warpstock conference is a gathering of OS/2 users, developers, and vendors from around the world for the purpose of education and advocacy.

<http://www.warpstock.org> We are now accepting papers for presentation at the 2004 event.

Presentations range from introductions to general computing topics (such as home networking, wireless networking, hardware support and installation issues) to advanced programming classes (such as programming in C/C++) and using cross-platform development tools (such as Java, PERL, XML, XUL, PHP and REXX). A sample of previous years' sessions included topics on OpenOffice.Org, Virtual Machine technology, OS/2 and Novell networking integration, and product demonstrations (including Stalker Software's CommuniGate Pro and Serenity System's eComStation (the newest OEM version of OS/2)).
