Warpstock Committee Is Accepting Bids for Warpstock 2002

With the recent announcement of the location of Warpstock 2001 (Toronto,
Canada), the Board of Directors of Warpstock, Inc. is currently soliciting
bids for the following conference, Warpstock 2002, which will be held
sometime around October, 2002.

By accepting bids so early (14 months in advance), the Warpstock Committee
is hoping to announce the location and date of Warpstock 2002 during the
Warpstock 2001 conference.  It is expected that such early announcements
will become the norm for all future Warpstock conferences and will have a
number of benefits.

The location of each Warpstock conference is chosen by the Warpstock
Committee.  The selection is made from bids that are submitted by
interested parties who want to host the next conference.

Groups wishing to host Warpstock 2002 should indiciate their intent  to
bid by sending an email to bidsatwarpstock.org by June 1, 2001.  The email
should include the location (i.e. which city), the names of the
individuals involved (they would then become the Event Team), and any
other information available at that time (e.g. possible locations for the
conference).

After submitting the bid intent, the group should work on submitting a
completed bid form by August 15, 2001.  The bid form, and all other
relevant information, can be found at
http://www.warpstock.org/2002/bid_form.html, in RTF, PDF, and WordPro
formats.  Any questions should also be directed to bidsatwarpstock.org.

Attendees and conference planners will have a full year to prepare for the
next conference.  For planners, this time frame could even allow them to
select otherwise unavailable sites that need significant advanced
reservation.  But most importantly, announcing at each conference the
dates and location of the following conference will demonstrate that the
annual Warpstock Conferences are a well-planned, ongoing tradition, and
not haphazard events that get cobbled together six months in advance.

The 5th annual Warpstock conference will be held October 6-8, 2001, in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and is produced by Warpstock, Inc., a North
Carolina non-profit corporation. The Warpstock annual conference is a
gathering of OS/2 users, developers, and vendors from around the world 
for the purpose of education and advocacy. More information is available
at the Warpstock 2001 web site: http://www.warpstock.org or its mirror
