TEAM OS/2 RELATIONS AND PC USER GROUP SUPPORT
April 16, 1996
Hi. We are pleased to report that IBM will continue its
support of Team OS/2 activity in North America for 1996.
IBM will also support PC user groups and OS/2 special
interest groups in 1996.
IBM has a long history of supporting PC User Group
activity, and we are committed to supporting this user
community. IBM will continue to request invitations to
present IBM software to user group members, and provide
evaluation software for user group newsletters. We will
sponsor user group officer events such as APCUG/Spring
Comdex in Chicago June 1-5, and Intergalactic June 15. Our
team looks forward to meeting many of you at these events,
and welcomes e-mail from all user group members who seek
IBM information.
IBM appreciates the grassroots marketing and support
efforts of Team OS/2. IBM appreciates what Team OS/2 has
accomplished for OS/2, and would very much like to see that
enthusiastic support for the product continue. Teamers who
hold OS/2 demonstrations will continue to receive materials
for events from IBM. The support staff will do more to
communicate information from IBM to Team OS/2, using mailing
lists and echoes to publish this information. We'll take
Teamer requests and concerns back to IBM. And we'll encourage
Teamers to help fellow Teamers in promoting and supporting
OS/2. With the upcoming beta of Merlin, we want to have
Teamers help make the new version of Warp as successful as
possible.
A four person team will be responsible for this activity:
Anita Venable, Arylnn Poczynek, Richard Woolsey, and Terry
Hamilton will act as the support group for both Team OS/2
and PC User Groups.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be putting up a set of Web
pages with more information. We'll start collecting
information on Merlin and let you know where and when to
obtain it. And we'll keep sending support packages out
when requested.
To contact us, you can start by sending e-mail:
Team OS/2: teamers@ibm.net
PC User Groups: ibmpcug@ibm.net
We will monitor newsgroups such as comp.org.user-groups.* and
alt.org.team-os2. We are creating a mailing list for Team OS/2
Relations, at the following address:
teamplans-L@teamos2.org
Our Internet web pages:
Team OS/2: http://www.teamos2.org/ibm
PC User Group: http://www.austin.ibm.com/pspinfo/ibmpcug.html
We'll post information here on a regular basis over the next
few weeks, directing you to more resources as they come on-line.
Grassroots marketing - successful grassroots marketing - will be
critical to IBM's success with OS/2 Warp. It's our hope that user
groups and Team OS/2 will find new ways to help users of OS/2, and
encourage others to try OS/2 Warp.
Keep in touch,
Team OS/2 Relations at IBM
