I've got a lot of mails by people asking why the webpages at OS/2 Netlabs are still out of date. I'm really sorry about this, actually my studies consume much more time than I thought and because of this I can't invest as much time into OS/2 Netlabs as I would like to. Beside this I will move to a new appartement at the end of February so it will take a while until I've set up all my stuff again. I hope you understand this. The update *will* come, it's just a question of time.

• Through Lotus iNotes, Domino users have access to a broader range of Domino services through a web browser than ever before. E-mail, calendaring, scheduling, personal contacts, and other facilities are accessible using Netscape Communicator for OS/2 Warp (or any other web browser).
• Lotus has announced its plans to release Domino Off-Line Services for OS/2 Warp users. This plug-in will provide offline e-mail, calendaring, scheduling, personal contacts, and other Domino services, all from within the familiar Netscape Communicator for OS/2 Warp common interface for web applications.

Other previously announced improvements include:

• Availability of the new Lotus Smartsuite Version 1.5 for OS/2 Warp, with improved capabilities for exchanging documents with other office suite users. See http://www.lotus.com/smartsuite/os2 for details.
• Availability of Lotus Domino Server (for Warp Server for e-business), with features such as SMP exploitation and support for web-based clients. See http://www.lotus.com/domino for more information.
• Continued availability of regular service updates for the Lotus Notes 4.5x series of OS/2 Warp clients (still supported with Domino 5). Updates can be obtained at http://notes.net on the Web.

The past few month a lot of companies released sourcecode to the public. Apple Computers for example released the source to the Darwin Streaming Server which allows you to stream video over the internet. Until now there are almost no OS/2 ports of this applications available. OS/2 Netlabs got contacted by people which want to start working on this new applications but to to this we need more developers.

CVS Servers for the projects will be created as soon as there is code available. A webpage and ftp stuff will follow.

So, we are going to start the production of the "streaming server of Darwin/2"... Darwin is a Quick Time Streaming Server (that means that is capable of produce realtime video for the internet), the code is free, but there's no port for OS/2. People that want to join the project should know (hopefully) something of the following capabilities:

• Multimedia programing expertise ISP products programming
• Server programing expertise
• Composite video knowdlege
• Linux programming expertise and EverBlue programming can be a must.

If you are interested to join us write to charlymati.net.mx (please do NOT contact Adrian Gschwend, I'm busy with my exams actually ;-)

We'll start as soon as possible.

Links to stuff which could be of interest regarding this project:

IBM Global Services bietet nun seinen Geschäftskunden die Möglichkeit, die von Warp Server for e-business bekannte Umgebung, auf Basis von Warp 4.5 auch auf Ihren Clients einzusetzen. Der Kunde erhält als Service eine für ihn zugeschnittene Installationsmethode zur Migration von Warp 3 oder Warp 4 auf das neue Umfeld. Alternativ ist natürlich auch eine Erst- oder Neu-Installation möglich.
...
IBM Global Services bietet dies als Dienstleistung an. Dies stellt KEIN vorgefertiges Produkt off-the-shelf dar, dennoch ist die Lizensierung klar geregelt. In Zusammenarbeit mit IBM wird mit dem Kunden ein Lizenzvertrag erarbeitet, der die Nutzung des durch Warp Server for e-business bereitstehenden Codes auch auf der Client-Plattform zuläßt. IBM Global Services übernimmt dabei die Projekleitung von den Vorgesprächen bis hin zur Umsetzung vor Ort beim Kunden.

January 10, 2000 - Sundial Systems is proud to announce the availability of Junk Spy, the first product that really tackles the problem of junk email. As previously announced, Junk Spy is available effective today at a suggested price of $49. This includes one year of automatic updates to Junk Spy's junk detection database - a $24 value. Junk Spy is unique. It does its job based on a combination of techniques that provide automatic identification and optional deletion of spam as it is retrieved from your mail server by your email program. And it does so without your intervention.
"Frustrated users no longer have to waste time sifting through junk email," said Rollin White, Junk Spy Product Manager. "This is truly a hands-off approach. Junk Spy examines your incoming mail to eliminate the junk messages before you see them." Junk Spy's initial junk detection database has been culled from thousands of junk messages and literally tens of thousands of
non-junk messages since a primary goal of the product is to not inadvertently misclassify "real" mail as junk. On-going analysis of new junk mail by Sundial will keep your copy of Junk Spy current as encrypted updates are automatically sent to and incorporated into Junk Spy as necessary.

I don't think that there is much discussion needed to come to the conclusion that Netlabs is important for OS/2. Projects like Everblue or ODIN are great. All the work is done by volunteers, but there are still things that need to be paid for.

Sponsoring Netlabs is now easy!

Netlabs is doing important work for the OS/2 community. Through Mensys you can sponsor Netlabs by purchasing one or more Sponsoring units of 10 Euro each. 100% of your donation will go to the Netlabs organization.

At the time of this message 10 Euro is about 10.37 U.S. dollars.

I've been invited to evaluate the upcoming Pre-Beta OS/2 guest client software from VMware on a Linux host machine. According to VMware's web site, from a Linux or nt host machine you can have multiple virtual machines running at the same time on your desktop. No rebooting is necessary to switch between Linux, win??, or soon OS/2. They did not have a specific time frame for release of the OS/2 guest, but I'm sure that any interest in their product expressed by members of the OS/2 community would help spur them onward. If you are interested, you can register for evaluation software and product information.

Massimo Sangriso reports that KRFTech has a product line 'which automates and simplifies writing PCI / cPCI / USB / ISA / EISA device drivers for Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, CE, Linux Solaris and OS/2.' It looks like their OS/2 version is in beta, and you must contact them for more info.

The following has been created for you:
1FNJDFR: EMSRV:OS2 - Would like EMSRV to work on OS/2 4.5 (Aurora)
This is a known problem and plans are that this will be fixed in the next release of EMSRV 6.24. The current plan is to have EMSRV 6.24 sometime during the first of 2000 (January).

Dear Warpstockers, As chair of Warpstock, Inc. I wanted to inform everyone of the progress being made on Warpstock 2000. Originally, the Warpstock Board wanted to announce the location of Warpstock 2000 on January 1, 2000. Due to the fact we did not receive any satisfactory bids, this announcement will be delayed until January 31, 2000. The current plans for Warpstock 2000 have the board soliciting volunteers for the event team and being the actual sponsoring group. So if you're in the mood to make a difference for Warpstock 2000, please contact me (pethmon@hethmon.com). In the meantime, the board has narrowed down the location to three choices: Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia, Orlando, Florida and Los Angeles, California. We would like to ask you for your input in making this decision. Please visit the Warpstock website and choose your favorite. Your input will be one of the factors in deciding where Warpstock 2000 will be held.
Thanks,
Paul Hethmon
Chair
Warpstock, Inc.
