Malmö, 1 December 2007: The board of the Swedish OS2 User Group 
http://www.os2ug.se/ has decided to change its name to OS2 World Foundation 
in order to formalise the organisation’s scope as well as become better 
positioned to support the international community, according to an 
announcement from Kim Haverblad, founder and webmaster of the Internet 
site, OS2 World.Com. http://www.os2world.com/

The Swedish OS2 User Group was registered as a society in November 1991. 
During the last 5 years, it has been active and financially supported the 
Internet site, OS2 World.Com. Therefore, its founders are convinced that it 
is most natural that these two communities should join and, furthermore, be 
able to better support the OS2 community by forming the new OS2 World 
Foundation.

The board said that it believes that national boundaries are obsolete due 
to the internationalization that has resulted from utilisation of the 
Internet. It has therefore chosen to place its entire efforts into online 
activities of OS2 World.Com, such such features as:

     * OS2 World.Com Award
     * OS2 World.Com Bounty System
     * OS2 World.Com Site Hosting

The statement from the board also emphasised that OS2 World Foundation will 
be an international community that openly welcomes members from all 
nationalities and languages.
