Serenity Systems International (SSI) has pubished a roadmap with important information for eComStation users. The roadmap includes information about two upcoming releases of the product, as well as two important applications for eComStation and OS/2 users. Those are the OpenOffice.org/2 and Serenity Virtual Station (SVISTA).
A joint project between SSI and InnoTek, a respected German ISV and services organization, has provided a version of SUN Microsystems OpenOffice.org which can support OS/2 and eComStation users. The package being offered by SSI includes prequisite software from InnoTek and the InnoTek Web Pack for OS/2. This software provides OS/2 and eComStation users with the best office suite features and Internet experience available, today.
The Roadmap also points to the Serenity Virtual Station, a joint effort between SSI and Parallels, Ltd of Moscow. This week the Early Support Program open to eComStation users will allow testing of SVISTA products written for Windows, Linux, and OS/2 as both guest and host platforms. A public beta of these products is planned for end of April, 2004.
The Roadmap describes a repackaging of the Application Pack, moving HOBLink X/11 Server to the Entry product and including SVISTA and OpenOffice.org in a new Application Pack, along with Lotus Smart Suite.
Other information includes a rather detailed description of the eComStation 1.2 Entry product and a general description of a major release planned for the end of the year.

Several weeks ago Serenity Systems International (SSI) began an Early Support Program (ESP) for the Serenity Virtual Station (SVISTA). The results of the ESP have been extremely positive. In fact, 80% of the respondents to a survey indicated that the products are nearly ready for commercial release. SSI is now prepared to move forward with this program.
The ESP is still restricted to registered eComStation users. To participate, users should log on to the site. At which time they will be at this page and can follow the steps to participate in the ESP (see Serenity Virtual Station Early Support Program: Sign up for the Early Support Program)
This week, (April 4), Serenity Systems is adding the first drop of the OS/2 - eComStation host version of this product, SVISTA/2 (note, this is early release, time limited software). Later this week we will also be updating the Linux host. The Windows host is still available. Later this week we may add the FreeBSD host, as well.
By the end of the month it is likely we will move this program to a public beta. Depending of the performance of the beta program, we look forward to delivering product this summer.

It seems that big eCS costumers do not want to disclose that they are using the system. This happens not only with russian but with european companies.
Of course, it's necessary support the system and publish more succesful stories of eComStation usage..
That's why we are ready to publish success stories in our Solutions based on eCS section without mention of company's name.

The Rexx Language Association is excited to announce that the 2004 International Rexx Symposium will celebrate the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the Rexx Language in the beautiful Swabian region of Germany during 2 - 6 May, 2004. In recognition of this significant milestone, the fifteenth annual Rexx Symposium has been extended to four days for the first time.
The Symposium is the only technical conference dedicated to the Rexx family of programming languages, drawing speakers and attendees from around the world. It is the best place to learn valuable Rexx programming techniques, keep up with the latest developments in the Rexx community, and confer with your colleagues, many of whom are luminaries in the field. The Program will feature a wide variety of presentations ranging from tutorial introductions, to real-world practical applications, to research papers describing techniques and features you will be using in the future.
The program schedule represents the best of an overwhelming number of quality presentations offered by the best Rexx practitioners in the world. IBM Fellow and Rexx pater Mike Cowlishaw will give the keynote address on "Twenty-five Years of Rexx -- a Personal View". It promises to offer a unique insight into the conception, development, and behind-the-scenes life of the Rexx language.
As usual, the Sunday before the Symposium will feature free tutorials and a welcome reception. The full Symposium registration, including the banquet, gift, and RexxLA membership is $295 before April 19, and $345 afterwards. Daily registration for only the sessions is $50 and $60 respectively. You may register from the Symposium Registration webpage using credit card, check, or PayPal.
The IBM Rexx Development Team has generously offered to host the Symposium at the luxurious IBM Executive Briefing Center at their BЖblingen Research Labs on Tuesday and Wednesday. To ease travel considerations, the first and last days of the Symposium will be held at the Symposium hotel.
An excellent room rate of 87 Euro has been negotiated with the Stuttgart Marriott Hotel Sindelfingen. Please see the Symposium Announcement for booking information.
Come and join us in celebrating the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the Rexx programming language!

Netlabs is proud to announce the first public beta version of SAMBA Client for OS/2 and eCS. It is available as a plugin for NetDrive Filesystem and it allows you to mount SMB or CIFS shares on OS/2 without the need of NetBIOS (IBM LAN Manager or IBM Peer).
The plugin is available free of charge with full sourcecode. However, we kindly ask you to support netlabs.org with sponoring units for further development of this product.
Samba is a SMB/CIFS protocols file and print sharing server/client set originaly made for UNIX world to cooperate with corresponding Windows and OS/2 servers or clients. OS/2 has native implementation of SMB/CIFS server/client set - IBM LAN Manager and IBM Peer. These products haven't been updated for a long time and have some compatibility problems with modern Windows SMB/CIFS implementations.

Eclipse for OS/2 is a transitional project on porting the Eclipse platform, an open extensible Java IDE, to the OS/2 operating system. The project has the "transitional" status because we are planning to join the main stream of the Eclipse development when we complete the greater part of this work and get a functioning OS/2 version.
What's new: Font support is fully implemented. This means that the org.eclipse.swt.graphics.GC class is completely done and all "low level" SWT functionality is now available (i.e., graphic primitives, colors, images and fonts), which is definitely more than 2/3 of the whole work. I guess that's good news.
However, it seems that we will not get through in a month with all the other stuff (widgets). So, the project finish date will be moved again -- we hope not so far.

Walter Metcalf (president of VOICE) invites active russian developers and users participate in creation of russian edition of VOICE Newsletter.
Such collaboration will increase quantity of articles on russian language and quantity of articles on english (and german) languages. This may lift the OS/2 community on the next level of interaction!
The pipeline of Newsletter creation is well organized and efficient, so translators don't lose time.
