It gives the organizers of this years community event great pleasure to 
announce that the first speakers have signed up and we have settled the 
first couple of presentations.  Peter Koller, Christian Hennecke and Dave 
Saville were the first to knock at the doors, followed by Andreas 
Schnellbacher, Eugene Gorbunoff and fellows from the eCoSoft team. Adrian 
Gschwend (netlabs) will be onsite with at least one session and Chuck 
McKinnis will even cross the Atlantic to give us the pleasure of two 
presentations.  More details are available on the event website at 
www.warpstock.eu

Yesterday, Team OS/2 Germany also committed its presence at Cologne, 
coupled with sessions yet to be announced and - many thanks - various 
onsite helpers to ensure a smooth organisation of the event. Team Ruhr, 
Team Trier and Team Hamburg will have booths in the user groups room.

The overall "international" character of the event at this very early stage 
of planning is already impressive:
So far, we have people coming here from countries like Sweden, Spain, UK, 
France, Russia, Ukraina, USA, The Netherlands, Switzerland (and Germany of 
course).

We have updated the event website with information about the rooms at the 
Youth Hostel, registration information for visitors planning to stay the 
youth hostel and travellers by air plane (a minor update about train ticket 
machines at the Cologne airport).

Nevertheless, we are still open for suggestions and offerings for sessions. 
Use the website contacts page to tell us what you have to say or show to 
the community.

And if you ever wondered what certain people look like - the developers of 
your favorite piece of software - why not come to Cologne and have chat 
with them? Meet fellow warpers in person, get the latest news about the 
present and future of the operating systems of your choice, get onsite 
trobleshooting for your problems and see that everything is far from being 
so-called dead.

By the way:
If you're not tuned much into computers and just need to come to Cologne 
because your husband or wife is busy "warping" around at the Youth Hostel, 
Cologne offers great shopping, sightseeing and entertainment facilities.  :-)

Looking forward to see you in Cologne!
The Warpstock Europe 2006 organisation team
