Warpstock Europe 2020 presentation schedule
Below is the presentation schedule for Warpstock Europe 2020 for Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th of May 2020.
Due to the corona virus Warpstock Europe 2020 is a virtual event. You can follow the presentations live via the following Warpstock Europe Youtube channel. YouTube should work with Firefox 45 running on ArcaOS.
Compared to previous years we have not that many presentations on the schedule. This is because I (Roderick Klein) probably had COVID-19, although I have not been very sick. But it did prevent me from working on Warpstock Europe 2020.
Some presentations are pre-recorded, however the presenters will be online to answer your questions live. If you want to ask questions you should join the #WSE2020 IRC channel on the freenode IRC network. Either use a web client (go to https://webchat.freenode.net/, Firefox 45 required due to Google CAPTCHA) or use a native IRC client, server: irc.freenode.org, port 6667, channel #WSE2020.

Warpstock 2020 goes virtual
Due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis, the board of the VOICE Foundation had to make the difficult decision to cancel the reservation at the hostel in Frankfurt. We do not think it is wise to gather our visitors, some of which are at risk should they contract the virus, for a few days in a closed room in the middle of a city. In addition, many countries have implemented travel restrictions, curfews or even total lockdowns and we don't know when these restrictions will be lifted. So even if we wanted to, it is possible many visitors or presenters cannot be there at all.
We will instead organize a virtual conference (a.k.a. webinar) for Warpstock 2020. We know it is not the same, watching a presentation from a computer screen, but we are dedicated to bringing you updates and news about OS/2 nonetheless. It will most likely be a YouTube stream since we already know how to do that. More details about the schedule and presenters will follow later.
