Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2006 21:40:38 -0500 From: madodel Subject: [VOICENWS] ADMIIN: Happy New Year ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++ From: Mark Dodel Happy New Year to everyone. Its 2007 (At least for some of our readership) and we are still able to buy and use our favorite computer operating system thanks to Serenity Systems, if we choose to. :-) VOICE begins its 11th year of existence and the News list has been around since May 7,1997 as well. A lot has changed in that time, but it seems there are still a few people interested in using OS/2 and its latest incarnation eComStation. Hopefully 2007 continues to bring new items of interest. Just a reminder if you are posting to the VOICE News list, please either use the web form on http://www.os2voice.org/fSubNews.html or directly via email to submitDESPAM at DESPAMos2voice.org Sending a post directly to one of the moderators may result in it being delayed or lost. Any email sent to the feedback address only goes to the moderators, so if you have a question about a post please make sure you send a copy to the original poster. As always if you are submitting an announcement try to make it as brief as possible, but with basic information like a description of the item and a URL where more information can be found as well as a URL where it can be downloaded if it is software. Also if its an update please list what has been changed if you know it. Please also give complete identity of the sender as well as a contact address. We will do our best to obscure that, but readers may need to contact you. If you are a developer don't just upload your work to hobbes or your own web site and forget it. Write a short announcement and send it to VOICE so the OS/2-eComStation community can know what you have done and what the software is capable of doing. If so please send out an announcement so people know what you have worked on. I can only hunt down so much information on my own and it would be a really big help if people would send in announcements. A big thank you to Peter Koller, Paul Smedley, Jan van Wijk, and Marcus de Geus among others who have sent in frequent and complete announcements. Posting the announcement on comp.os.os2.announce would be helpful as well since some people still read the OS/2 Usenet groups even if they don't post because of all the attacks from the psycho-trolls (Though it seems at least some of these nutcases have moved on to other pastures to torture people). As to the list itself, we start the year with 665 subscribers. That is about 60 fewer than a year ago. Currently there are very few rejections and all are of a temporary nature. The VOICE News list is currently still mirrored on the OS/2 Info Yahoo list http://groups.yahoo.com/group/os2info/?yguid=835823 with another 146 subscribers, as well as the OS/2 News service - http://www.os2news.com which is used as a news feed for some other web sites. Hopefully we will see more from os2news.com in the future. Thanks for reading and I hope you continue to find our announcements of interest.
