- Dear Fellow OS/2 Users...
- My name is Lewis Rosenthal. Some of you may already be familiar with me as
- the maintainer of several OS/2 and eCS mailing lists, the web host for
- VOICE, and as the treasurer of Warpstock Corporation, the advocacy
- organization which holds the annual OS/2 and eCS conference in North America.
- Our community has been relatively quiet over the past year or so, in terms
- of new OS/2 products and eCS releases. Late last year, I began to think
- about the future of OS/2 as a platform, knowing that in the background, a
- considerable amount of work was being done to maintain, update, and support
- eCS, with little made available to the audience.
- I began actively seeking investors for a new company with a new vision for
- OS/2. To my delight, I have been able to assemble a group of such
- like-minded people, and as I write this, we are forming this new company.
- Part of the philosophy of the new entity will be to maintain strong ties to
- the user community through the remaining organizations we have, and to
- cultivate long term relationships with cooperative developers and vendors to
- provide what we think is a more unified and organized face for our platform
- of choice. Call this "branding and packaging" if you will.
- While the products offered by the new company as packaged will be fee-based,
- as far as we are able, code will be GPL (or GPL-compatible).
- In the coming weeks, look for further announcements, a new website, public
- forums and mailing lists, and soon after, a working web shop.
