Newsletter #1
Although many OS/2 and eCS users worldwide know the existence of and the concept behind netlabs.org already for years. It still is surprising that a large group of people don't know what is going on or where to find things.

That is why some people, close to netlabs.org, decided to gather netlabs.org news and start to distribute that in a bi-weekly electronic newsletter. To share the news and make it easier for everybody to stay updated and always get the latest greatest open source OS/2 and eCS software!

This is the first newsletter, so please feel free to react and comment about it (see below). We are still in the phase of setting it up and are open for suggestions. Like we are not sure yet if people can subscribe to it themselves as well.

Netlabs.org relies on your support as well, we hire developers to have better progress on projects. For sure this costs money so any sponsoring is very welcome! You can support netlabs.org via netlabs.org sponsoring units: http://www.mensys.net/NETLABS/

The page states that VAT has to be paid as well, this is *not* the case for the sponsoring units, netlabs.org gets the full amount you donate!

Thanks for your support!
