Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 10:56:01 -0400 From: madodel Subject: [VOICENWS] Net: VOICE website "Best Site of the Year" in OS/2 World annual awards ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++ From: Mark Dodel As has been noted in a couple of the posts already sent today, OS/2 World has announced the results of their 2006 awards ( http://www.os2world.com/award/results.php ), and the VOICE website was voted "Best Site of the Year". VOICE has never been one to trumpet their own accomplishments, but I thought it was appropriate to take this time to point out the work of a few of the folks that have put a lot of their personal time into the project and helped make it one of the few remaining active on-line resources for the OS/2 and eComStation community. First off Ken Kirchner who is the VOICE server admin, web master and all around great guy. He has taken some suggestions from myself and others and implemented them on the web site to make it the useful, always up-to-date site it is today. His talent and knowledge is what has brought about those features which make the site so useful, like the new hobbes files listing, the archived article search feature ( http://www.os2voice.org/searchnl.html ) and the automatically updated news listings on the main page. He's also been a great help with the Warpstock web site (also hosted on the VOICE server) with things like mail and online polls. I'd like to personally thank all the people who over the many years have submitted announcements to the VOICE mailing list which helps keep OS/2 and eComStation users informed without having to spend a lot of time hunting down this information on their own. If you have news related to OS/2 and eComStation please email it to submit at os2voice.org or use the online submission form at http://www.os2voice.org/fSubNews.html Next Christian Hennecke who stepped in as the editor-in-chief of the VOICE Newsletter a couple years ago and has modernized it into a truly attractive and yet still useful information source despite some tough times getting new content and help translating in our ever shrinking community of users and developers. The newsletter has come a long way since it first appeared 9 years ago as a brief four pages of HTML (and that damn INF version ;-) with some news and information about VOICE and OS/2. Finally to the writers, translators and editors who continue to work on the newsletter so folks have something new to read every month or so. Without these people there would be no VOICE Newsletter. If you haven't done so yet please consider contributing an article for a future edition. There is a very well written guideline for submission of articles that you should definitely look over for hints on what to write about and how to present it: http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL0206H/guide.html Mark -- Warpstock 2006 - Windsor, Ontario, Canada, October 12-15th, http://www.warpstock.org Warpstock Europe - http://www.warpstock.net [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
