Subject:	SCOUG-General: (What A Week We've Had)

Content Type: text/plain

Note from Peter Skye:

This is a copy of the press release we distributed today to the news
media.

If you've been watching closely, you saw that our press release style
changed dramatically a couple of weeks ago.

The first month was a more standard format press release, with lots of
quotes and a big push on getting the name "Warp Expo West" in front of
people (go count how many times we managed to squeeze it into each
release ).

This second month has been a "chatty" style, targeted at a slightly
different demographic and intended to give the show a more intimate
feel. We also did a lot of marketing to the vendors, and that material
wasn't posted here.

In about a week we'll switch again, to the "third month" format.

(What A Week We've Had)

What a week we've had! We've signed up so many more OS/2 vendors for
Warp Expo West that, at the rate we're going, we'll have to ask for more
rooms again.

We have a major new player (we'll let you know who in a few days) that
is going to bring in equipment and give us an entire network for our
Vendor100 tables. We have several new international software developers
who want us to show their products. And we're going over the
submissions for additional lectures and seminars right now.

Will you join us? We're doing this show for you. Warp Expo West is
free, no admission charge, no exhibit table charge, we're doing this for
OS/2 and the wonderful people who know a great operating system when
they try it.

Click over to

and see our growing, growing, growing list of Vendor100s. Then click to

http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest/exhibitors.html

and see the exhibitors who will join us.

Go ahead. Count 'em, add 'em up. Warp Expo West will be big -- we'll
have more OS/2 products for you to see than any show before us. And
we're still signing up new vendors, so these numbers will grow and grow.

We're a little behind in updating our presentation page because we've
been so busy with the products and vendors! We have a long list of
seminars, lectures and demonstrations, and we're going to fill our
session rooms with the finest schedule of OS/2 material that a Warp show
has ever seen. (Don't miss it!)

If you're coming from out of town, we have a travel page to help you.
We've posted pictures of our conference facilities so you can see how
nice they are. We made sure there's plenty of free parking outside.

Here's our web page. Give it a click.

Warp Expo West will be held on September 18 near Disneyland in sunny
Southern California. The show is free - it's being sponsored by The
Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) - and we want to see you
there. We have a registration form on our site so you can sign up and
get our weekly newsletter with the show updates, and we have a couple of
maps there too so you can see exactly where we are.

Make sure you're with us - on September 18 - for Warp Expo West! :)

Sponsored by The Southern California OS/2 User Group.
