It is well connected to the railway system in Switzerland and easy to reach from about everywhere.<br /> <br /> '''By train:'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> There are night trains to Basel, called [http://www.citynightline.ch CityNightLine], this is mainly interesting if you want to get to Biel from Germany, Holland or Austria (it works from Denmark as well some days). You reach Biel within one hour from Basel by train.<br /> <br /> For other train connections consult your local train office, if you have to travel to Biel from an airport check the homepage of [http://www.sbb.ch/ SBB], the railway company in Switzerland. For Geneva and Zurich you have to add ''Airport'' in the search field. For Basel and Bern Belp you need to take the local airport bus anyway.<br /> <br /> '''By plane:'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> There is no large airport close to Biel but in Switzerland almost everything is close anyway. So you can choose one of these airports if you want to get to Biel:<br /> <br /> * Zurich (ZRH) - The biggest airport in Switzerland, quite good connections to Biel (every 30 minutes). Takes about 1.5 hours by train.<br /> * Geneva (GVA) - good for Easyjet. There is just one train per hour to Biel, around 1.5 hours by train.<br /> * Basel (BSL) - also good for Easyjet. There are bus connections to Basel and from there it's one hour by train.<br /> * Berne Belp (BRN) - this is a small local airport, close to Bern but you still need to get to Biel and that's probably not much faster than Zurich because the Bus connections from this airport to Bern are not that great. From Bern it will take 30 minutes to Biel.<br /> <br /> The local airline in Switzerland is [http://www.swiss.ch Swiss], which offers quite good trips from bigger cities.<br /> <br /> '''By car:'''&lt;br/&gt;<br /> The address is Quellgasse 21, 2502 Biel, Switzerland. There are paring places in front of the building, ask at the registering desk about how to open the locks for the parking places. You can get a map [http://www.ti.bfh.ch/index.php?id=1740 here], it's number 2 on the map.<br /> <br /> ====Accomodation====<br /> There are several classes of hotels available in Biel:<br /> <br /> * [http://www.lagolodge.ch/ Lago Lodge] - nice backpacker hostel directly at the lake of Biel. University is quite easy to reach by bus and the walk is not that far either.<br /> * [http://www.continental-bienne.ch Hotel Continental] - 3-star hotel close to the lake as well. The road is quite busy, so make sure you get a room towards the lake.<br /> * [http://www.metropol-biel.ch Hotel Metropol] - 3-star hotel, 15-20 minutes walk to the University or bus.<br /> * [http://www.lindenegg.ch/ Villa Lindenegg] - a very special and cute hotel in an old villa, 2 minutes away from the University, you can't get closer than that :)<br /> * [http://www.accorhotels.com/accorhotels/fichehotel/gb/mer/6166/fiche_hotel.shtml Mercure Plaza] - 4-star hotel in the middle of the city<br /> * [http://www.hotelelite.ch Hotel Elite] - 4-star hotel close to the railway station. Takes less than 10 minutes to the University.<br /> <br /> If you can't afford a hotel we offer a room at the University where you can sleep with your sleeping bag and your mattress. The room is in the old manufacturing of Rolex and there are showers available too. It's probably not really comfortable but you don't have to pay anything for that :-) Please contact Adrian Gschwend if you want to do that, we have to know how many people do it like this.

Finally for wrap-up, on Sunday afternoon we summarize the outcome of the discussions to the whole audience.<br /> <br /> The topics we will talk about include things like semantic web, user interface abstraction and information description and liking.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> For sure we will again provide enough space, wired or wireless network connection and lots of bandwidth.<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Schedule====<br /> TBD<br /> <br /> ===Workshop Location===<br /> Beside famous watch companies like Rolex, Omega and Swatch the city of Biel in Switzerland is the home of one more cool company: netlabs.org! This means that the Developers Workshop 2009 will again take place in the city where netlabs.org was founded in 1997. I'm proud to do the hosting at the [http://www.hti.bfh.ch/ Berne University of Applied Sciences], the place where I did my studies and where I worked as a system administrator and teacher for several years.<br /> <br /> Biel is a small but cute city close to Bern, the capitol city. It's the boarder to the French speaking part of Switzerland so people in Biel speak German and French, at least most of them :-)<br /> If you have some more spare time I recommend you to do a walk in the beautiful surroundings of Biel, for example the Jura mountains or around the lake. There is plenty to discover and with a bit of luck we will have a nice spring time in april.<br /> <br /> Links:<br /> * [http://www.drei-seen-land.ch Drei-Seen-Land] - a nice page with a lot of information about our region.<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biel/Bienne Biel/Bienne] at Wikipedia.org. Available in many languages.<br /> * [http://ktk.netlabs.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=1719&amp;g2_page=2 Old town of Biel] - some pics from the old town in my gallery<br /> <br /> Hope to see you there!<br /> <br /> Adrian Gschwend&lt;br/&gt;<br /> founder of netlabs.org<br /> <br /> ====Getting to Biel/Bienne====<br /> Biel is the gate to the French speaking part of Switzerland, located in the western part of Switzerland. It is well connected to the railway system in Switzerland and easy to reach from about everywhere.<br /> <br /> '''By train:'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> There are night trains to Basel, called [http://www.citynightline.ch CityNightLine], this is mainly interesting if you want to get to Biel from Germany, Holland or Austria (it works from Denmark as well some days). You reach Biel within one hour from Basel by train.<br /> <br /> For other train connections consult your local train office, if you have to travel to Biel from an airport check the homepage of [http://www.sbb.ch/ SBB], the railway company in Switzerland. For Geneva and Zurich you have to add ''Airport'' in the search field. For Basel and Bern Belp you need to take the local airport bus anyway.<br /> <br /> '''By plane:'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> There is no large airport close to Biel but in Switzerland almost everything is close anyway. So you can choose one of these airports if you want to get to Biel:<br /> <br /> * Zurich (ZRH) - The biggest airport in Switzerland, quite good connections to Biel (every 30 minutes). Takes about 1.5 hours by train.<br /> * Geneva (GVA) - good for Easyjet. There is just one train per hour to Biel, around 1.5 hours by train.<br /> * Basel (BSL) - also good for Easyjet. There are bus connections to Basel and from there it's one hour by train.<br /> * Berne Belp (BRN) - this is a small local airport, close to Bern but you still need to get to Biel and that's probably not much faster than Zurich because the Bus connections from this airport to Bern are not that great. From Bern it will take 30 minutes to Biel.<br /> <br /> The local airline in Switzerland is [http://www.swiss.ch Swiss], which offers quite good trips from bigger cities.<br /> <br /> '''By car:'''&lt;br/&gt;<br /> The address is Quellgasse 21, 2502 Biel, Switzerland. There are paring places in front of the building, ask at the registering desk about how to open the locks for the parking places. You can get a map [http://www.ti.bfh.ch/index.php?id=1740 here], it's number 2 on the map.<br /> <br /> ====Accomodation====<br /> There are several classes of hotels available in Biel:<br /> <br /> * [http://www.lagolodge.ch/ Lago Lodge] - nice backpacker hostel directly at the lake of Biel. University is quite easy to reach by bus and the walk is not that far either.<br /> * [http://www.continental-bienne.ch Hotel Continental] - 3-star hotel close to the lake as well. The road is quite busy, so make sure you get a room towards the lake.<br /> * [http://www.metropol-biel.ch Hotel Metropol] - 3-star hotel, 15-20 minutes walk to the University or bus.<br /> * [http://www.lindenegg.ch/ Villa Lindenegg] - a very special and cute hotel in an old villa, 2 minutes away from the University, you can't get closer than that :)<br /> * [http://www.accorhotels.com/accorhotels/fichehotel/gb/mer/6166/fiche_hotel.shtml Mercure Plaza] - 4-star hotel in the middle of the city<br /> * [http://www.hotelelite.ch Hotel Elite] - 4-star hotel close to the railway station. Takes less than 10 minutes to the University.<br /> <br /> If you can't afford a hotel we offer a room at the University where you can sleep with your sleeping bag and your mattress. The room is in the old manufacturing of Rolex and there are showers available too. It's probably not really comfortable but you don't have to pay anything for that :-) Please contact Adrian Gschwend if you want to do that, we have to know how many people do it like this. Email: ktk [at] netlabs.org&lt;br/&gt;<br /> Update: I made some pictures about the location: http://ktk.netlabs.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=2636<br /> <br /> ===Contact===<br /> If you have comments or want further information about the workshop, you can always reach us by sending an eMail to:&lt;br&gt;<br /> DevelopersWorkshop [at] netlabs.org&lt;br&gt;<br /> Adrian Gschwend is mainly responsible for organizing the workshop.&lt;br&gt;</div>

This is important if system components are extended, and user and system language is not identical<br /> ** option XWP will return the language being active for XWorkplace (determined by setting in OS2.INI), so that NLS files matching this language can be installed. This is important if xCenter widgets are installed<br /> <br /> === add new package definition ===<br /> Requirement:<br /> * REXX code is able to add new package definitions, for cases where the offered packages depend on the hardware being found (like Genmac)<br /> Suggested Change:<br /> * implement WirexxAddPackage( packageinfo), where packageinfo contains the complete XML data for the added package<br /> Current Workaround:<br /> * add dummy package entries, related to dummy external filenames, so that they are not visible. When required, these entries are made visible.

However, the WPI cannot be aborted by REXX code<br /> Problem:<br /> * no idea yet how to define the message(s) being displayed on error, possibly &lt;ERRORMSG rc=n&gt;as counterpart to MSG, where &lt;ERRORMSG&gt; with no rc would be the default error msg.<br /> <br /> === add a requirement matching an exact package ===<br /> Requirement:<br /> * force to require an exact version of a dependent external package<br /> Suggested Change:<br /> * invent REQUIRESEXACT to match an exact version<br /> Comment:<br /> * this is for where the required packages are definitely not upwards compatible, but instead must exactly match the main package <br /> <br /> === auto-deinstall any older/other version of a PCK ===<br /> Requirement:<br /> * existing packages are to be deinstalled before a given package is to be installed<br /> Suggested Change:<br /> * implement DEINSTALL attribute, with option parameter<br /> ** no option specified will deinstall all packages of vendor\Application\package<br /> ** option NEWER will deinstall newer packages of vendor\Application\package<br /> ** option OLDER NEWER will deinstall older packages of vendor\Application\package<br /> <br /> === install/deinstall REXX hooks ===<br /> Requirement:<br /> * a REXX routine is defined to be called on several events<br /> Suggested Change:<br /> * implement HOOK atttribute for PCK and for HEAD tag, with the name of a REXX routine to be called (possibly with optional parameters)<br /> ** the hook on HEAD tag is called with parameters<br /> *** START on launch of the eWPI<br /> *** INSTALL when the install button is pressed on installation<br /> *** DEINSTALL when the install button is pressed on deinstallation<br /> *** INSTALLED on exit of the WPI<br /> *** ABORTED on abortion of the WPI<br /> *** CANCELLED if the user cancelled the WPI<br /> ** the hook on PCK tag is called with parameter<br /> *** INSTALL when the package is about to be installed<br /> *** DEINSTALL when the package is about to be deinstalled<br /> *** INSTALLED when the installation of the package has been completed<br /> *** DEINSTALLED when the deinstallation of the package has been completed<br /> *** ABORTED when the installation/deinstallation of a package has failed<br /> Current Workaround:<br /> * for a hook on start of the WPI, a REXX macro can be called in the TITLE value<br /> * for all other cases, REXX can't be called (AFAIK)<br /> <br /> === force a kill of a program without prompt ===<br /> <br /> === force unlock of an executable without prompt ===<br /> <br /> == Extended attributes for PCK tag ==<br /> <br /> === extend (DE)EXECUTE ===<br /> Requirement:<br /> * allow to execute a program in PM and FS mode without executing it via a visible OS/2 / eCS window.<br /> * allow to execute a VIO program invisible<br /> Suggested Change:<br /> * extend (DE)EXECUTE (and PREEXECUTE) with<br /> ** a progtype flag: PM, VIO, FS<br /> ** a visible flag: VISIBLE, INVISIBLE<br /> Comment:<br /> * If DosStartSession is used to launch the session, this would be a logical extension<br /> <br /> == New atributes for REXX tag ==<br /> <br /> === allow execution of REXX scripts packed within the archive ===<br /> Requirement:<br /> * allow to execute a REXX script that is not embedded in the WIS script<br /> Suggested Change:<br /> * add new attributes EXTRACTFROMPCK and FILENAME to let WarpIN to unpack a REXX file from a (hidden?) package for to execute it<br /> <br /> == New element for PAGE tag ==<br /> <br /> === element to display an INF ===<br /> Requirement:<br /> * launch the INF file of an application without requiring to install the package<br /> Suggested Change:<br /> * implement element INFBUTTON, requires atribute EXTRACTFROMPCK to use a INF ifle from the package<br /> Comment:<br /> * this change would relief from one of the most obvious disadvantages of WarpIN packages. A readme is often not sufficient in order to evaluate if an application is worth to install. However, to view an included INF, an end user would have to install it anyway...<br /> <br /> == New parameters to WARPIN.EXE ==<br /> <br /> === deinstall a PACKAGE, supporting wildcards ===<br /> Requirement:<br /> * allow to deinstall a package with the WarpIN GUI. This allows WPS object to deinstall a given program using the GUI<br /> Suggested Change:<br /> * implement parameter to deinstall the packages of one or more given package IDs. <br /> * The package and version information in the specified ID is to be optional, to deinstall more than one matching package.<br /> <br /> == New parameters to WIC.EXE ==<br /> <br /> === check if a given package is installed ===<br /> Requirement:<br /> * allow to check via batch if a package is installed<br /> Suggested Change:<br /> * implement parameter -Q to query for a specified package ID.

In 2008 the workshop is hosted and organized by [http://www.teamruhr.de Team OS/2 Ruhr e.V.].<br /> <br /> == When &amp; Where ==<br /> This years workshop will be held from '''May 17 to 18th, 2008''' in the new '''City Hostel of Düsseldorf, Germany'''. Please see the homepage of the City Hostel in the [http://www.jugendherberge.de/jh/rheinland/duesseldorf/index.shtml.en English] and [http://www.duesseldorf.jugendherberge.de German] language. <br /> <br /> This Hostel is located right to the Rhine, and opposite the famous old town of Düsseldorf. Be prepared for a spectacular sight onto the Rhine from our conference room !<br /> <br /> The hostel is brand new, so you can expect a fine location on a high level standard, both for the conference room and the rooms for overnight stay.<br /> <br /> == Getting there ==<br /> On the web site of the Youth Hostel you can find a route description in the [http://www.jugendherberge.de/jh/rheinland/duesseldorf/lage/index.shtml.en English] and [http://www.jugendherberge.de/jh/rheinland/duesseldorf/lage/index.shtml.de?m German] language.<br /> The section 'Next public transport facilities' on the English page is not completely translated at the moment, please translate 'Flughafen' to 'Airport' and 'Bahnhof' to 'Station'.<br /> <br /> Right in front of the Youth Hostel there is a bus stop - taking this you need to change the bus once to reach the city etc.. Approx. 1km away there is a subway station with a direct link to the city, old town and main train station. Tickets for both bus and subway are sold at the reception of the Youth Hostel.<br /> <br /> == Workshop Services ==<br /> <br /> The following Workshop services are provided at no charge<br /> <br /> * '''Internet Access / Wireless LAN''' <br /> **We will provide internet access over a secured Wireless LAN, so have your WLAN-equipped notebook ready.

See all the bells and whistles within the WarpIN package of the new GenMac V2.20, to accomplish the mission of maintaining GenMac installations. This session discusses also how WarpIN could be extended to match even more requirements.<br /> <br /> * Sat 12:30-14:30 Lunch<br /> <br /> * Sat 14:30-15:15 '''Don't try this at home! - Adventures in WPS programming'''<br /> **''Chris Wohlgemuth, netlabs.org''<br /> ** The Workplace Shell is a fascinating framework albeit with some rough edges. This presentation is not a HelloWorld-WPS-class-creation-in-10-easy-steps-hands-on-workshop. It features general hints, tips, tricks and workarounds for common problems. When traveling WPS land every developer may come to some obscure places where weird stuff is waiting for the innocent.

The &quot; meM-PIO &quot; Interface Box (by BMCM GmbH Munich) can make it possible to access 24 digital TTL I/O lines via USB. How to use Wim Brul's device driver and how to put USB dataframes together, in order to use &quot; meM-PIO &quot; successfully, will be shown as REXX examples in this presentation.<br /> <br /> * Sun 15:15-15:45 Coffee break<br /> <br /> * Sun 15:45-16:30 '''User Interface of eComStation applications'''<br /> ** ''Eugene Gorbunoff, eCo Software''<br /> ** This session contains a review of guidelines, standards, components, dialog windows, new PM controls and more.<br /> <br /> ===Live Stream of Presentations===<br /> We will stream the presentations via an Ogg Vorbis stream! You can listen to that stream on eCS as well:<br /> <br /> * The straight forward method is to use the ''Audio-Stream'' object class in eCS 1.2, it's in the ''Multimedia Templates'' subfolders of the ''Templates'' folder. Simply drag the object to your desktop and add the URL &lt;tt&gt;http://stream.netlabs.org:8000/dws.ogg&lt;/tt&gt; to it. To start playing simply double click on it.<br /> * If that doesn't work you either don't have Ogg Codecs installed or you have an old version of them. In this case the simplest solution is to get the [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/mmedia/oggvorbis-1.1.0-os2.zip Ogg Vorbis] package of [http://silk.apana.org.au/vorbis/ Brian Havard] and use ogg123 to play it: &lt;tt&gt;ogg123 http://stream.netlabs.org:8000/dws.ogg&lt;/tt&gt; (in a command line window).<br /> * Note that Z! doesn't want to play Ogg streams for some reason on my system, maybe it works on yours.<br /> * [http://r6.ca/MMAudioPak/stream.html Russell O’Connor] has some details as well about streaming on OS/2.<br /> * There is also a playlist available [http://stream.netlabs.org:8000 here].<br /> * If you are using Linux or Windows you should be able to listen to that stream as well for sure.<br /> <br /> The first presentation starts at 10:15 German time, which is GMT+1. If you need to know your local time zone you can check that here:<br /> <br /> http://www.timezoneconverter.com/index.shtml<br /> <br /> Note that during the breaks we will most probably play some music so you will hear anything anyway :)<br /> <br /> You can get a webcam picture as well at http://www.netlabs.org/dws08/. The quality is not too great unfortunately but it's better than nothing.<br /> <br /> You can also ask questions live during the presentations if you join the freenode.net IRC channel #netlabs, see http://freenode.net/ for more information.

Please see the homepage of the City Hostel in the [http://www.jugendherberge.de/jh/rheinland/duesseldorf/index.shtml.en English] and [http://www.duesseldorf.jugendherberge.de German] language. <br /> <br /> This Hostel is located right to the Rhine, and opposite the famous old town of Düsseldorf. Be prepared for a spectacular sight onto the Rhine from our conference room !<br /> <br /> The hostel is brand new, so you can expect a fine location on a high level standard, both for the conference room and the rooms for overnight stay.<br /> <br /> == Getting there ==<br /> On the web site of the Youth Hostel you can find a route description in the [http://www.jugendherberge.de/jh/rheinland/duesseldorf/lage/index.shtml.en English] and [http://www.jugendherberge.de/jh/rheinland/duesseldorf/lage/index.shtml.de?m German] language.<br /> The section 'Next public transport facilities' on the English page is not completely translated at the moment, please translate 'Flughafen' to 'Airport' and 'Bahnhof' to 'Station'.<br /> <br /> Right in front of the Youth Hostel there is a bus stop - taking this you need to change the bus once to reach the city etc.. Approx. 1km away there is a subway station with a direct link to the city, old town and main train station.

This session discusses also how WarpIN could be extended to match even more requirements.<br /> <br /> * Sat 12:30-14:30 Lunch<br /> <br /> * Sat 14:30-15:15 '''Don't try this at home! - Adventures in WPS programming'''<br /> **''Chris Wohlgemuth, netlabs.org''<br /> ** The Workplace Shell is a fascinating framework albeit with some rough edges. This presentation is not a HelloWorld-WPS-class-creation-in-10-easy-steps-hands-on-workshop. It features general hints, tips, tricks and workarounds for common problems. When traveling WPS land every developer may come to some obscure places where weird stuff is waiting for the innocent.

The &quot; meM-PIO &quot; Interface Box (by BMCM GmbH Munich) can make it possible to access 24 digital TTL I/O lines via USB. How to use Wim Brul's device driver and how to put USB dataframes together, in order to use &quot; meM-PIO &quot; successfully, will be shown as REXX examples in this presentation.<br /> <br /> * Sun 15:15-15:45 Coffee break<br /> <br /> * Sun 15:45-16:30 '''User Interface of eComStation applications'''<br /> ** ''Eugene Gorbunoff, eCo Software''<br /> ** This session contains a review of guidelines, standards, components, dialog windows, new PM controls and more.<br /> <br /> ===Live Stream of Presentations===<br /> We will stream the presentations via an Ogg Vorbis stream! You can listen to that stream on eCS as well:<br /> <br /> * The straight forward method is to use the ''Audio-Stream'' object class in eCS 1.2, it's in the ''Multimedia Templates'' subfolders of the ''Templates'' folder. Simply drag the object to your desktop and add the URL &lt;tt&gt;http://stream.netlabs.org:8000/dws.ogg&lt;/tt&gt; to it. To start playing simply double click on it.<br /> * If that doesn't work you either don't have Ogg Codecs installed or you have an old version of them. In this case the simplest solution is to get the [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/mmedia/oggvorbis-1.1.0-os2.zip Ogg Vorbis] package of [http://silk.apana.org.au/vorbis/ Brian Havard] and use ogg123 to play it: &lt;tt&gt;ogg123 http://stream.netlabs.org:8000/dws.ogg&lt;/tt&gt; (in a command line window).<br /> * Note that Z! doesn't want to play Ogg streams for some reason on my system, maybe it works on yours.<br /> * [http://r6.ca/MMAudioPak/stream.html Russell O’Connor] has some details as well about streaming on OS/2.<br /> * There is also a playlist available [http://stream.netlabs.org:8000 here].<br /> * If you are using Linux or Windows you should be able to listen to that stream as well for sure.<br /> <br /> The first presentation starts at 10:15 German time, which is GMT+1. If you need to know your local time zone you can check that here:<br /> <br /> http://www.timezoneconverter.com/index.shtml<br /> <br /> Note that during the breaks we will most probably play some music so you will hear anything anyway :)<br /> <br /> You can get a webcam picture as well at http://www.netlabs.org/dws08/. The quality is not too great unfortunately but it's better than nothing.<br /> <br /> You can also ask questions live during the presentations if you join the freenode.net IRC channel #netlabs, see http://freenode.net/ for more information. You can simply join the network on irc.freenode.net.<br /> <br /> == Presentation Download ==<br /> <br /> * Creating basic WarpIN packages [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/01_basinst.zip HTML in ZIP]<br /> * Advanced installation procedures [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/02_advinst.zip HML in ZIP]<br /> * Don't try this at home! - Adventures in WPS programming [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/03_advwps.zip HTML in ZIP]<br /> * Managing Open Source Projects: netlabs.org 2010 [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/04_netlabs2010.pdf PDF] [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/04_netlabs2010.zip ZIP]<br /> * The Voyager Project: Status &amp; next steps [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/05_voyagerstatus.pdf PDF] [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/05_voyagerstatus.zip ZIP]<br /> * The Voyager Project: Demo [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/06_dws08demo.pdf PDF] [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/06_dws08demo.zip ZIP]<br /> * eComStation Developer Connection [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/07_dws2008-devcon.pdf PDF] [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/07_dws2008-devcon.zip ZIP] <br /> * Digital I/O with eComStation via the USB Interface Box meM-PIO [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/08_defmc3.pdf PDF] [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/08_usbio.zip ZIP]<br /> * User Interface of eComStation applications [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/09_dws2008-ui-02.pdf PDF] [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/events/DWS2008/09_dws2008-ui-02.zip ZIP]<br /> <br /> <br /> == Costs ==<br /> <br /> This event is a great gathering and is being organized for the fourth time now, by volunteers.

You can listen to that stream on eCS as well:<br /> <br /> * The straight forward method is to use the ''Audio-Stream'' object class in eCS 1.2, it's in the ''Multimedia Templates'' subfolders of the ''Templates'' folder. Simply drag the object to your desktop and add the URL &lt;tt&gt;http://stream.netlabs.org:8000/dws.ogg&lt;/tt&gt; to it. To start playing simply double click on it.<br /> * If that doesn't work you either don't have Ogg Codecs installed or you have an old version of them. In this case the simplest solution is to get the [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/mmedia/oggvorbis-1.1.0-os2.zip Ogg Vorbis] package of [http://silk.apana.org.au/vorbis/ Brian Havard] and use ogg123 to play it: &lt;tt&gt;ogg123 http://stream.netlabs.org:8000/dws.ogg&lt;/tt&gt; (in a command line window).<br /> * Note that Z! doesn't want to play Ogg streams for some reason on my system, maybe it works on yours.<br /> * [http://r6.ca/MMAudioPak/stream.html Russell O’Connor] has some details as well about streaming on OS/2.<br /> * There is also a playlist available [http://stream.netlabs.org:8000 here].<br /> * If you are using Linux or Windows you should be able to listen to that stream as well for sure.<br /> <br /> The first presentation starts at 10:15 German time, which is GMT+1. If you need to know your local time zone you can check that here:<br /> <br /> http://www.timezoneconverter.com/index.shtml<br /> <br /> Note that during the breaks we will most probably play some music so you will hear anything anyway :)<br /> <br /> We will try to setup a webcam as well but we couldn't test that yet, news will be announced on that page.<br /> <br /> You can also ask questions live during the presentations if you join the freenode.net IRC channel #netlabs, see http://freenode.net/ for more information. You can simply join the network on irc.freenode.net.<br /> <br /> == Presentation Download ==<br /> Within this section we will offer the presentations online, shortly before they are being held during the workshop.<br /> <br /> == Costs ==<br /> <br /> This event is a great gathering and is being organized for the fourth time now, by volunteers. We try to keep costs as low as possible, but we can't make it for free, unless you are a student! Also speakers do not have to pay for attending the workshop.<br /> <br /> === Workshop Fee / Online Registration ===<br /> <br /> The online registation is closed.

You can listen to that stream on eCS as well:<br /> <br /> * The straight forward method is to use the ''Audio-Stream'' object class in eCS 1.2, it's in the ''Multimedia Templates'' subfolders of the ''Templates'' folder. Simply drag the object to your desktop and add the URL &lt;tt&gt;http://stream.netlabs.org:8000/dws.ogg&lt;/tt&gt; to it. To start playing simply double click on it.<br /> * If that doesn't work you either don't have Ogg Codecs installed or you have an old version of them. In this case the simplest solution is to get the [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/mmedia/oggvorbis-1.1.0-os2.zip Ogg Vorbis] package of [http://silk.apana.org.au/vorbis/ Brian Havard] and use ogg123 to play it: &lt;tt&gt;ogg123 http://stream.netlabs.org:8000/dws.ogg&lt;/tt&gt; (in a command line window).<br /> * Note that Z! doesn't want to play Ogg streams for some reason on my system, maybe it works on yours.<br /> * [http://r6.ca/MMAudioPak/stream.html Russell O’Connor] has some details as well about streaming on OS/2.<br /> * There is also a playlist available [http://stream.netlabs.org:8000 here].<br /> * If you are using Linux or Windows you should be able to listen to that stream as well for sure.<br /> <br /> The first presentation starts at 10:15 German time, which is GMT+1. If you need to know your local time zone you can check that here:<br /> <br /> http://www.timezoneconverter.com/index.shtml<br /> <br /> Note that during the breaks we will most probably play some music so you will hear anything anyway :)<br /> <br /> We will try to setup a webcam as well but we couldn't test that yet, news will be announced on that page.<br /> <br /> You can also ask questions live during the presentations if you join the freenode.net IRC channel #netlabs, see http://freenode.net/ for more information. You can simply join the network on irc.freenode.net.<br /> <br /> == Presentation Download ==<br /> Within this section we will offer the presentations online, shortly before they are being held during the workshop.<br /> <br /> == Costs ==<br /> <br /> This event is a great gathering and is being organized for the fourth time now, by volunteers. We try to keep costs as low as possible, but we can't make it for free, unless you are a student! Also speakers do not have to pay for attending the workshop.<br /> <br /> === Workshop Fee / Online Registration ===<br /> <br /> The online registation is closed.

This presentation is not a HelloWorld-WPS-class-creation-in-10-easy-steps-hands-on-workshop. It features general hints, tips, tricks and workarounds for common problems.

After that deadline it cannot be guaranteed that you can still book a room.<br /> * If you arrive on Friday, you have to book as soon as possible, as for the night to Saturday only 6 double-bed rooms could be reserved.
