Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 report
Hi Geoff, thanks for the nice report. By the way, the QLwIP demonstration went well, just that the TCP/IP connection was only local, as long as the WiFi in the hall was down. I could show file upload/download and the webserver under QDOS. Later on, when WiFi came up, I also showed web and email access with connection to the world. Thanks again to Derek for setting up the ethernet to WiFi bridge. All the best Peter ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

These things can easily happen. I hope this is the case, because I would like to have these specs back. They are a prescription and tinted pair, and I have had them for many years.

But now it's getting closer I try to find the details ;-) Kind regards Paul Thanks for the help - when Paul sent his message I was between Derby and Chesterfield on my way to Edinburgh and was totally out of contact. Also thanks to everyone who made QLis30 such a successful event. I hope to write an account before the end of the week, but I have only just had time in the last few minutes to download the photos. We had 26 people at the event which is slightly lower than we would have liked. We thought we would have about 30. The hall proved to be perfect for the number. As so often happens with this type of event it does not go exactly to plan. At one point we abandoned most of the planned program because everyone was so busy working at their machines and deep in discussion in small groups. This was the whole point of the event and we felt that presentations would only interrupt it. At that stage the projector was already set up for a presentation which eventually took place two hours later at the end of the afternoon, so there was no possibility to set up a public Skype link. I later discovered it would have been impossible anyway as the wifi had crashed. Two special words of thanks. At the Friday dinner Valerie Taylor, wife of John former treasurer of Quanta, declared that catering was something that men were incapable of and immediately offered her services for the Saturday,. She did a magnificent job for lunch assisted by Sarah Gilpin. Second word of thanks to Quanta. For all the faults they made some months ago when we were first discussing QLis30, they fully redeemed themselves in their help with this event. In particular the support with collecting payments for the dinner. Incidentally the cost of the workshop was about £300. Worth thinking about for the future, Best Wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30 Dinner
Evening Darren, Speaking as a Jock, can I just say that whisky does indeed taste like floor cleaner! I hate the taste of the stuff and beer as well. I like a nice glass of wine personally especially the fine fruit wines from Perth shire, Cairn O'Mhor. (Care no more!) Try them. The Bramble is like a fine port. The raspberry is divine. Avoid the strawberry unless you like sweeet wine. We have a bottle of 2000 Banana in the wine rack. Whiskey I cannot comment on as I would never bring myself to even taste anything whisky like. And finally, I hope everyone enjoys the evening and the food. It's neeps by the way! Neaps are tides. ;-) Cheers, Norm. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Already underway :) I am a whiskey drinker thanks to both my grandad and dad. But only the really good stuff - typically Bushmills malt (the 10 year old one at a minimum) and Jameson crested ten. But I have to say some of the aged Scottish stuff is pretty good too. Dimple and Glenfiddich being favourites. Darren.

I am really glad no one is spoiling MacAllen on you! Or Bowmore, Lagavulin, Bruichladdich, Port Ellen or Ardbeg! Greetings from Germany where single cask malts from Scotland are very welcome.

But only the really good stuff - typically Bushmills malt (the 10 year old one at a minimum) and Jameson crested ten. But I have to say some of the aged Scottish stuff is pretty good too.

As far as the program is concerned I am now at the stage when I am twisting a few arms. What I am suggesting to people is that we keep the presentations relatively short in the hope that we can then have a good discussion with lots of ideas flying around. I still intend to stick to the three main themes of hardware. software and (electronic) communications. Another thing I would like to do is profile some of the classical software that has been preserved or re-released. I would be interested in hearing from a gamer who would like to demonstrate either in a formal presentation or informally at a table. I have already opened a Skype account for the workshop, although I still have to do final tests that my laptop can cope. As I am new to Skype I may need someone to sit beside me and hold my hand (metaphorically, of course). I hope to have at least one presentation via Skype.

Many thanks to Quanta for this facility. We would have been in a difficult situation without them. The Holiday Inn have indicated that if we want they would make the main course the quintessential Scottish meal of Haggis, Tatties and Neaps often accompanied by a wee dram.

Update from my side: Flights (easyjet from Basel), Car and Hotel are booked now. Arriving on Wednesday with my family, the trip will have 3 major topics Scotland, Edinburgh and the QLis30 workshop. I prefer a QLers dinner on Friday. Other family members should be allowed/welcomed ;-), but I think my folks will enjoy this evening on their own (let Daddy talk on his QL things) ;-). @Geoff: When running the QLis25 show in 2009 I had great success using Doddle to manage attendance for both the show and dinner, including preferences.

I was actively involved in organising the programmes for QL2004 and QLis21 and am happy to help SQLUG with this expertise. It is for SQLUG to decide what involvement Quanta has in the event. However, given Quanta's insistence that all committee members have to have their expenses paid they would seem to have excluded themselves from the event. For all that I think Quanta has an important role to play especially in the field of electronic communication. It is a paradox that an organisation that has shown itself unable to run a website, is nevertheless a pioneer in electronic participation. There is a lot we can learn from them.

Re: [Ql-Users] QLis30
Depending on when the event is held, I have two things to contribute: The first is money! I ran a pledge drive a couple of months ago, and $1000 has been pledged by various people to support a dedicated QLis30 show. If you book the hall and advertise the event, you'll receive my pledge at least a month before the event is due to happen. I'll also email the other people who made pledges to remind them of their pledge, and when their promise becomes due. You might need to outlay a bit of money for a while, but you can be reasonably confident of getting a good proportion of it back well before the show - you certainly shouldn't be running the show with cashflow problems. The second is new and returning products. In returning products, I have Minerva MK II with and without I2C, and the MPlane. The battery adapters are shipping this week. In new products that will be ready before your proposed date, there's the Sandy SuperMem, an 896K memory expansion that is highly configurable, very fast, and that has a through connector. I'll also be about ready to release UltimIDE by then, hopefully. There'll be more details and photos in next month's QUANTA magazine. I'll also be able to show progress on other projects, including showing prototypes and other inside info. Will this be a QUANTA event or independently organised?

An interesting argument worthy of discussion. HARDWARE Recently hardware is where most progress has been made and should have a prominent place at the event. Peter Graf would like to attend and Dave Park hopes to participate online. I think they will have much to contribute. GAMES I wrote my account of the last 5 QL years (www.gwicks.net/justwords.htm) with QLis30 in mind. One of the things that surprised me was that games have been an area of great progress. Rich Mellor has put a huge amount of effort into preserving and re-releasing vintage software and it also relevant is that many of the recent additions to Dilwyn's website have been software re-releases. I think this is worthy of a slot at QLis30. I would welcome ideas on how to build on this theme. SOFTWARE This is a difficult area as most of the recent software progress have been the emulators rather than new applications. Again I would be interested in suggestions on how to profile software at the event. Have there been any benefits from the loosening of the SMSQ-E licence restrictions? ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS I would like to have an internet facility at the event, but thought this might not be possible. However John Sadler has indicated that 2 of the possible 4 venues have WIFI. We may need some technical help. I think we could do far more electronically. As far as I know there has only been one online presentation at a QL show in Italy a few years ago. Quanta did set up a WIFI network at their 2012 AGM, but I don't think much use was made of it. I think, if they are interested, Quanta could have a valuable contribution to make following the constitutional change to permit electronic participation in all meetings. There has already been individual participation electronically at committee meetings and the AGM. At this years AGM there is a choice of participating personally; via Skype; or via telephone conferencing. An even more interesting development is that Quanta will soon have its first overseas committee member. In short if Quanta is interested in describing their electronic participation experiences then we should give them a slot. So far there have been few suggestions about the content of a QLis30 event. I hope this will provide a starter for more ideas.

GAMES I wrote my account of the last 5 QL years (www.gwicks.net/justwords.htm) with QLis30 in mind. One of the things that surprised me was that games have been an area of great progress. Rich Mellor has put a huge amount of effort into preserving and re-releasing vintage software and it also relevant is that many of the recent additions to Dilwyn's website have been software re-releases. I think this is worthy of a slot at QLis30. I would welcome ideas on how to build on this theme. SOFTWARE This is a difficult area as most of the recent software progress have been the emulators rather than new applications. Again I would be interested in suggestions on how to profile software at the event. Have there been any benefits from the loosening of the SMSQ-E licence restrictions? ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS I would like to have an internet facility at the event, but thought this might not be possible. However John Sadler has indicated that 2 of the possible 4 venues have WIFI. We may need some technical help. I think we could do far more electronically. As far as I know there has only been one online presentation at a QL show in Italy a few years ago. Quanta did set up a WIFI network at their 2012 AGM, but I don't think much use was made of it. I think, if they are interested, Quanta could have a valuable contribution to make following the constitutional change to permit electronic participation in all meetings. There has already been individual participation electronically at committee meetings and the AGM. At this years AGM there is a choice of participating personally; via Skype; or via telephone conferencing. An even more interesting development is that Quanta will soon have its first overseas committee member. In short if Quanta is interested in describing their electronic participation experiences then we should give them a slot. So far there have been few suggestions about the content of a QLis30 event. I hope this will provide a starter for more ideas. So your feedback, please, Best Wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List

At the moment we are looking at the possibility of an event in Edinburgh, although the discussions are provisional. We are thinking of a late Autumn one day event, preferably on a Saturday, at a venue near the airport. A one day event is easier to get off the ground than a two day event for both financial and practical reasons with a greater choice of venues. One venue being considered is a church hall unavailable Sunday a.m. It would be possible to have some activity such as a meal on the Friday. Some of you will remember the last show held in Portslade in 2007. The hall was booked for one day but we had a very successful dinner the night before at an unusual Belgian restaurant. When the possibility of an event in Edinburgh was first raised some weeks ago several German QL-ers, very active in the QL-community, expressed an interest. We would like to get a group of developers and other highly active QL-ers together for both formal and informal contacts. We want a good cross fertilisation of ideas to hopefully give the QL a push forward. I have agreed to work on the theme, programme and content, but will need quite a bit of feedback.

Further to your emails Re: [QL-Users] QLis30 pledge..., I have great pleasure in advising you as follows: At a meeting of the QUANTA Committee on Sunday 02/02/2014, the topic of a Workshop to celebrate QLis30 was discussed and it was decided that if, due to Rich Mellor's ill health, we (QUANTA) will not be able to support his venture in Cambridge, then we would like to add our name to the QLis30 pledge such that we will match the fund up to a maximum of £500. It was also decided that QUANTA may offer further support by attending the event to show a QUANTA presence. This came about after much discussion regarding QUANTA's willingness to support such an event and how much we should be prepared to spend in order to differentiate between over-spending and not wanting to support both of which have received some criticism of late on this list.

Dave Sandy Electronics Good, a Skype link is a good idea, although we have had this idea in the past but nothing happened in practice. However, several years and Quanta's recent Skype experience on, there is more hope on this occasion. We now have four possible topics. Any more?

If others would like to chip in a little, it could make a Kickstarter-style fund. *Conditions:* Event must be held between March 2014 and December 2014, in a generally accessible location to QL users. This includes any traditional location like a scout hut, Eindhoven, etc. The Outer Hebrides or rural Romania probably won't count. The event must be properly open to the public, properly advertised, and what the members of this list consider 'properly organised'. Event can be organised by an individual or a company. In the event of an individual or company combining with Quanta to run the event, the fund will be divided equally between them. The pledge will be paid towards costs of running the show, and will be sent to the organiser(s) by paypal four weeks before the organized event. In the circumstance the event is cancelled for *any* reason, the pledge(s) must be returned *immediately*. *List of pledges:* *Sandy Electronics / Dave Park£150* Mark Martin£30 ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Being stranded here in the European version of the Outer Hebrides I feel awkward not being able to contribute something concrete (such as actual work) but I do hope that these pledges would function as a motivation for some group of people to organize an event because I would love to attend. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
