Peter is continuing to work on configuring his new development environment which is going to need to support multiple toolchains. This month we are are going to discuss methods of handling this on eCS/OS2.

Some of you might have heard that a patched version of tcpip32.dll has been released. Steven is going to discuss why it was developed and what it does.

Steven has been working on a utility called clonekill. If there is time, he’s going to show us what the current incarnation can do.

After this, it’s going to yet another Q&A session for the rest of us. Bring your questions.

As almost always, there will be coffee and donuts.

Many thanks in advance in the name of the organizers of the past 2011 event!

It’s not available for download yet, but I have in my hand the eComStation 2.1 English media kit available for attendees. They are still making the German CDs. An ISO should be available for download tomorrow.  The Englishrelease will require an active eComStation Software Subscription. Since they never released a German 2.0 the German 2.1 will be available for free download to anyone entitled to a 2.0 German upgrade.  The installation will work with a valid eCS 2.0 key.  

The media kit includes a printed, 72 page Quick Install Manual, and 3 CDs. CD 1 Is the install CD. CD 2 contains Bonus applications and CD 3 is OpenOffice 3.2. I hope to try an install on my laptop here shortly. Bonus applications include Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2, ClamAV and GUI, Some QT apps, AMP (Apache/MySQL/PHP); the old IBM Bonus apps (Faxworks, IBMWorks, Videoin, IBM VoiceType and HyperAccess Lite); trial software from eCoSoft as well, Maul Publisher, and the Graham Utilities; and a TCPIP Configuration utility. There are also developer tools like OpenWatcom 1.9, GCC, WDSibyl, and Free Pascal Compiler Version 2.4.0 as well as the OS/2 Developer Toolkit.

eCS 2.1 was not released on Saturday as hoped for. There was a regression introduced into the build related to the new AHCI code which would cause some non-AHCI systems to have a problem so we hope to see it fixed by tomorrow. If not, then soon.

A lot of good sessions today.

Silvan Scherrer and Dmitriy Kuminov gave a session on Java6. It uses the Odin API, but is compiled, so this version of Java is not a wrapper version. This is a benefit in getting the work completed faster and also benefits the entire community as they are making fixes to the Odin code which benefits other projects like Flash 10. It will use the OpenJDK source code so we should have the latest versions when available. Several Java applications were demoed including JEdit, and JAlbum. After the GA version is released they will work on an enhanced version that will include a Mozilla browser plugin and Java Webstart. They still need some funding to complete the project, which has already been 2/3rds funded by Mensys. For more on this project see http://class='extlink'http://svn.netlabs.org/java

Another important session was Steven Levine’s on how the eCS project is being managed. Primary goals are to release a stable version that runs on modern hardware, and supports as many NLVs as possible. He listed a number of successes like Uniaud fixes, updates to the Daniela driver for AHCI, progress with Java. and bootable JFS, They need enduser help with QA testing, so if you find any problems or have suggestions for enhancements please be sure to submit a ticket on the eComStation bug tracker.

At lunch I was interviewed by Eugene Gorbonoff of eCo Software fame and his beautiful camera person, Olga. No idea why anyone would find anything I have to say of interest since I don’t do any development, but someone really needs to interview Eugene. This guy is full of great ideas.

Ben Rietbroek gave a really good presentation on Air-Boot, the replacement for the IBM Boot Manager that is coming with eCS 2.1. The major advantages over IBM BM, is they will have the source code, it doesn’t take a primary partition, it is compatible with Windows 7, has support for booting huge drives (over 502GB), as well as a number of other benefits. It also is configured without having to boot to an operating system.

One of the main reasons for my coming to Haarlem, besides seeing the beauty of the Netherlands, was to meet a number of OS/2-eCS developers and fellow users I only get to communicate with on the mailing lists and Usenet. One guy I was happy to finally meet was David Azarewicz. His session on the Uniaud sound driver was great and he got a lot of positive feedback from the attendees. People really appreciate all that he has done along with others to bring support for modern sound chipsets to the eCS world. He discussed all the work he has done to date fixing the code. Like Steve Levine he stressed the importance of filing proper problem tickets on the bug tracker (this is a netlabs project http://class='extlink'http://svn.netlabs.org/uniaud ) so that any problems can be tracked and fixed.

Finally sorry for the late post tonight, but I just got in from an extremely nice evening social event with many of the attendees. It was a fun cruise along the canals of Haarlem. Keith Merrington (developer of EasySync who gave a presentation yesterday) is a lot of fun with endless good humour. I had dinner with him and Bruce Rossi (who flew in from Australia for this event) as well as several of the Dutch guys who are helping to put on this years Warpstock. After the cruise it was fun to sit in a cafe with Joachim Benjamins and Gerrit Schoenmaker of Mensys, and my longtime online friends who I had never had a chance to meet in person before, Thomas Klein and Peter Koller. Honestly this is the reason I love going to these events.

Only one more day of fun and back home. This long weekend is going fast. Time to grab a little sleep before day 3 starts.

Just a short report from Haarlem in the Netherlands where Warpstock 2011 started today. A lot of folks I haven’t seen in a long time as well as a few I have never met. The main news is that eComStation 2.1 will be released here on Saturday, with an ISO available for download shortly there after. This will be both an English and a German version. Dutch and Italian are still being translated. This release will have all the updates since 2.0, and specifically the following new features:

Airboot to replace the IBM Boot Manager (though if BM is installed it can be used). This will save a primary partition.
New Graphical disk checker for install.
A brand new AHCI driver based on Daniella’s driver.
Firefox 4.0 will now be included.
The new File Open Container will be available for install but not default.
The new MultiMac network driver will be available for supported network devices.
A new CPU throttling utility that I’m told will provide significantly better battery use times for laptops.
ACPI will be at the 3.18 level.

eComStation 3.0 was discussed. This will include an updated version of the Panorama video driver. an update to the USB stack, updated ACPI driver, the eCUPs printer driver, more new MultiMac network driver support (including Intel wireless chipsets), Flash 10 and Java plugins for Firefox (I also heard today that there is a fixed version of Odin32 being tested that stops the SMP system hangs). Compatibility with the newer EFI boot standard was discussed as well. IPv6 is being investigated, butit’s felt that backward compatibility with IPv4 will remain widespread for some time to come.

To me probably the biggest news was that Mensys has recently renewed their OEM contract with IBM through 2014 (this was the 3rd contract renewal), and they seemed reasonably assure that further renewals will continue. This is because 2010 saw a 3 fold over 2009 (which had been the best year for sales to date) increase of new eCS licenses being sold and this trend is continuing into 2011. More and more companies are coming to Mensys for eCS to run on replacement hardware for mission critical OS/2 installs. Several major companies were mentioned including the US Postal Service and Iridium Phone Communicatipons. There is also some new expanded commercial use which is also helping to fund new eComStation development projects. I think the entire event is much more upbeat this year then it has been in years.

More news over the next 2 days. I am also looking forward to the next Warpstock event, this October in Raleigh/Durham North Carolina, in North America.

Uwe Hinz made a smart effort to provide the organizers with posters for doing self-study sessions about the USB board K8055. We’ve put them up in A3 format at the Festzaal.

If you have a moment at WSE2011 come by and see how to esily make use of Wim Brul’s USB driver and the K8055 USB board in eCS or OS/2.

If you like the idea, leave a comment by mail and we’ll forward this to Uwe.

On May 5th the Netherlands celebrates Liberation day. In Haarlem, a few hundred meters away from La Place restauraunt, the location where Warpstock Europe is organized, a large open air concert will be organized. This has possible effect on reaching La Place on Friday and possibly also Saturday the 7th May.

The website of the open air concert event was only recently updated! Its not realy clear what it has on effect for public transport on what date.

What are you going to do at the conference?

Do you have interest to interview eComStation evangelists and developers?

Are you going write a report about the conference and make photos?

Only 5 weeks to go before kick off on May 6th in the city of Haarlem, The Netherlands and hereby are 5 excellent reasons why you should not miss this event:

1. Meet great names in eComstation’s history and listen to what they have to tell you. Never in the history of Warpstock Europe so many people from abroad (USA, Japan, France, UK, Germany, Italy, Russia, Ukraine, Switzerland, The Netherlands) do a presentation. The sessions schedule is already overbooked. Have a look for yourself at http://www.warpstock.eu en/agenda.html as the list of speakers is filling up steady.

2. The Warpstock Europe 2011 event location

(http://www.locaties.nl/congres-en-vergadercentra/la-place-haarlem-dreefzicht.html) is situated in a beautiful environment and is an excellent place to

relax. So, enjoy Warpstock Europe 2011 and at the same time have a short vacation in the heart of Holland. You are close to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, the sandy beaches of the dutch seashore and see spring

in all its splendour in the "Keukenhof". And of course the Dutch offer you excellent public transport wherever you want to go.

3. This is what you always have wanted to do, a pilgrimage to the city where it all happens: "the making of eComStation". So, you might play the spy and take a sneaky picture of the Mensys HQ (www.mensys.nl).

4. As a WSE2011 visitor you can enjoy the very special social event on the evening of the second Warpstock day, for free. Mensys and the organization board offer you a lovely canalboat ride through the canals

of the city of Haarlem and the river "Het Spaarne" and "after sailes" a drink in one of the old tavernes in the cosy and ancient city center.

5. Warpstock Europe 2011 gives you an excellent opportunity to learn about the upcoming features of eComStation 3.0 from the guys close to the fire, be a participant and line up for the great Q and A session

with all the session presenters. Sign up for the event at http://shop.mensys.nl/uk/catalogue/mns_WarpstockEurope2011.html and return home afterwards with the feeling, yes, this is it: Warpstock and eComStation forever!

The beautiful event location has a fully equiped "pick your own" restaurant on board, where you can create your own choice of breakfast, lunch and dinner at a very reasonable charge (as of EUR 10,00 and up). At every time of the day you can go there to get some refreshments.

The city of Haarlem, the capital of the province Noord Holland, is a beautiful city with very old typical dutch buildings and located very close to Amsterdam Airport "Schiphol". The city is from a historical point of view very famous as the place were book printing was invented by the Dutchman Laurens Janszoon Coster. The WSE2011 logo was designed keeping history in mind and therefor it carries several different font types in CMYK printing colors.

Saturday, December 18th
9:30 AM - 1 PM

Greg is going to show us the latest results his experiments running eCS under Virtual Machines. Some of you might recall that the last time we tried this the results were not all that good. This time perhaps with updated versions of the various VMs the results will be better this time.

Bob has a system that insists on booting slow, although it runs fine once booted. This month we are going to spend some time with pmdf and the kernel debugger to see if we can track down the reason and make it go away.

After this, it’s going to yet another Q&A session. Bring your questions.

As almost always, there will be coffee and donuts.
