Warpstock Europe 2002 statistics & T-shirt

2002-12-17 21:47:39 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [VOICENWS, Gerrit Schoenmaker]

Now we've read various articles about the Warpstock event in Arnhem, the Netherlands, there's only one final conclusion to draw: the event was successful.

According to the opinion of some guys from Netlabs (e.g. Bart van Leeuwen and Adrian Gschwend), this year's Warpstock Europe gave a tremendous push forward to the open source development of OS/2 software.

Besides that, as a Warpstock Europe visitor you might become curious about some figures of the event. Well, here you go:

• The total amount of visitors was 248
• An average of 163 attendees each day
• Up to 19 nationalities
• Almost 450 lunches have been served
• About 40 attendees stayed overnight at the hostel for 2 or more nights.
• 18 speakers
• About 16 people were involved at the organization
• There were 3 captains on the ship, Bart van Leeuwen, Gerrit Schoenmaker & Christian Langanke
• Warpstock Europe was sponsored by the huge Dutch computerorganization HCC with 3000 Euro
• 4 commercial exhibitors were present
• The total cost of this Warpstock was as little as 6500 Euro

If you see all this, you should like to have a reminder on Warpstock Europe in the Netherlands. So, the organization team has decided that its possible for you to buy that famous Warpstock T-shirt as yet until the end of january 2003 for the special price of 25 Euro all in. If you want to do so, please send an email with the SHIRT SIZE and your POSTADDRESS to g.s.schoenmaker@kader.hobby.nl with the subject entitled: WSE2002 T-shirt. You will get a mail in return with the bankaccount where you can transfer the money to. The shirt will be sent to you as soon as the payment has arrived!

add-on from Eugene Gorbunoff: You can read my report from Warpstock using on-line translator: Warpstock 2002 - here is our bridge.
