[comp.windows.x] WINTERP B.O.F. at 5th Annual Tech. Conf. on the X Window System

mayer@HPLNPM.HPL.HP.COM (Niels P. Mayer) (12/21/90)

I'm posting this note to announce that there will be an informal "birds of
a feather" session on the WINTERP OSF/Motif Widget INTERPreter at the
upcoming 5th Annual Tech. Conf. on the X Window System.  The conference is
happening at the Boston Marriott Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts,
14-16 January 1991. I figured that since I'm attending this conference, I
might as well get together with any current or prospective WINTERP users.

The BOF will be held on Tuesday, January 15 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM. For
details, see the schedules posted at the conference.

I'd like to use this session as an informal information exchange:
	* For interested folks to find out more about WINTERP.
	* To get input on desired features and improvements.
	* Discuss upcoming plans for WINTERP (e.g. the real soon now
	  WINTERP 1.1 // Motif 1.1 release)
	* Exchange ideas on how people are using WINTERP for application 
	  prototyping.
	* Find out how people are using WINTERP as a platform for building
	  customizable/extensible applications.
	* Discuss issues: WINTERP vs. UIL, WCL, Tcl, Builders, UIMSs, etc.
	* etc.

If you are planning on attending, please reply by e-mail to
mayer@hplabs.hp.com (or {decwrl,sun,etc}hplabs!mayer). If you want, you may
also suggest further topics for discussion, etc.

PS: Since HP is shutting down over the Xmas holidays, I will not be able to
answer any e-mail from 12/21/90 thru 1/3/91...
