[Ql-Users] QLis30 another presentation ready...

2014-10-07 Thread Urs Koenig (QL)
Hi all,

I took 2 days off from work to complete the update of "QL is 30 2014 The
Distribution". I'm ready to demo the current state (RC2) at the workshop in
Edinburgh.
http://www.qlis30.org.uk/#TheDistribution

I will take my notebook computer with me. Best would be to present with a
beamer. Length of the presentation can vary from 10 minutes to an hour. 

See you in Edinburgh this coming weekend.

Cheers,
Urs

Hi Peter,

thank you for your comments.

This is, and has been for some time, QUANTA's sentiments exactly!! :-)

Hence our two-day workshops/AGMs with dinner the night before the first 
day for setting up as required in Manchester.


We (Sarah & I) are looking forward to meeting you all at the dinner in 
Edinburgh.


Kind Regards,

John Gilpin.

As for presentations... is it possible to do some setup work inside
the hall on Friday already?

That would make things more relaxed and productive on Saturday, as
there are usually some problems to solve. A one day event might turn
out very short anyway ;-)

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 pledge...

2014-10-07 Thread Petri Pellinen
Good evening,

I just sent 50% (£ 25.00) of my £50 pledge. Will follow up with the
rest of the amount if necessary.

Looking forward to meeting fellow QLers in Edinburgh.

Kind regards,
Petri

Thanks Mark! I sent £75 (which turned out to be $125)... The funds 
reported

they will be available tomorrow.

As a quick aside, if you choose "send money to friends or family" instead
of a purchase, the event and you will pay much lower transaction fees -
this leaves more of the money available to the organizers!

Thanks Mark! I sent £75 (which turned out to be $125)... The funds reported
they will be available tomorrow.

As a quick aside, if you choose "send money to friends or family" instead
of a purchase, the event and you will pay much lower transaction fees -
this leaves more of the money available to the organizers!

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 pledge...

2014-10-07 Thread Dave Park
Hello all!

The QL is 30 event is upon us and it is time for us to meet our pledge
commitments. The good news is that the event was organized a lot more
economically than was originally thought. For that reason, and allowing for
the QUANTA match on donated funds, it is expected that we only need to
raise HALF the amount we originally pledged.

Here is a reminder of the pledges that were made:

Sandy Electronics / Dave Park£150
Mark Martin  £ 30
Petri Pellinen   £ 50
Doug L   £150
Jiří Doležal £ 50
Kenn Van Hauen   £ 70
 
TOTAL£500
Quanta Match £500

Available: £1,000

I have forwarded £75 (50%) now, and if the 50% pledges fall short, I'll
make an additional top up donation immediately after the event, when the
donations have been tallied.

Your donations need to be submitted to the following PayPal address:
*treasu...@quanta.org.uk
*

If anyone has an objection to using PayPal, you can email
treasu...@quanta.org.uk and make an alternative arrangement.

Thank you everyone for pledging!

Dave

Re: [Ql-Users] QL is 30 presentations priority

2014-10-07 Thread Ralf Reköndt
Well, I have tried "QLPUI" and I can say it is a Brainsmasher. I know, that 
TT had a similar one in mind for the QL in the first place but that was 
abandoned and after all the FLRUN and DP and whatsoever software it had been 
a problem. There had never been an ICE and GIGAmouse and PE, if his ideas 
had been implimented.


So now we have the chance, to get a new and real GUI.

Ok, we have PE, but "QLPUI" would be a lot better.

Cheers...Ralf

Hi,

I hope to offer three presentations, two of my software projects and
one hardware:

* QLPUI: GUI with modern look & feel, themes, proportional fonts,
and other features not yet available on the QL. Runs completely
without Pointer Environment.

* QLwIP: Native ethernet and TCP/IP: Ethernet connectivity,
webserver, email, browser and file transfer without emulation.

* Q68: Compact and modern QL compatible mainboard, running QDOS
Classic and Minerva

While each of the projects might in some way be of fundamental
interest, the QLis30 website rightfully asks to keep presentations
short.

Any input where I should set the priorities?

All the best

It has been suggested that we should have name badges at QLis30. These
are not compulsory, but they will be available at both the dinner and at
the workshop.

The badges are plain plastic pin on types 7.5cm x 4cm.  You will have to
provide your own content on a piece of paper that can be slipped inside
the badge. You may wish to do this in advance.

It has been suggested that it would be useful to have your country
included and possibly your QL forum name. The QL forum will be present
at the workshop,

Best Wishes,


Geoff

Hello Tobias,


I will have a Windows laptop with me that has both wired Ethernet and
WiFi - We'd need a cross-over Ethernet cable to demonstrate.


I don't have a crossover cable, but many modern ethernet PHYs can do the
equivalent internally. E.g. my netbook connects to my Q60 with a patch
cable.


Bridging should be pretty much an easy thing to configure.


Not for me, at least not under Windows. But good that you can do it.

Thanks, Peter
