Well it was a matter of time before it would happen. That we would have one year without Warpstock Europe. Working at Mensys I see plenty of interest in eComStation. But as times change, so does the amount of time people have to volenteer for something. Two people volenteered to help out BTW for Warpstock Europe 2012 I would like to thank these people for the generous offer.

In 2012 there will be *no* Warpstock Europe. In 2011 I organized Warpstock Europe with Gerrit Schoenmaker and volenteers from the Dutch OS/2 user group. This year however things have been REAL busy as Mensys has moved to a new and bigger office. The Warpstock Europe steering group did put out a call in 2012 asking if anybody would like to organize Warpstock Europe. We never received any reply. For years I mostly have been the pushing engine behind Warpstock Europe getting started or working with other people to make it happen. I tried to find time in my agenda to work on Warpstock Europe 2012 but had to little.

I was planning on making Warpstock Europe happen in 2012. The first attempt I planned I had to move forward and was planning on making the event happen in November of this year. In the end I decided to move the event to next year.

I can still get the event organized. But since its now that late in the year most people have to little time to get time time off from work. This is however not the deadth of Warpstock Europe! Its going to go for a wintersleep and it will wake up in the spring of next year. May 2012 we will have a Warpstock Europe again! To make certain it happens it will once again be helt in La Place restaurant. Exact date will be set later this month.

Hope to see a lot of people next year!
