Probably because of the lack of frequency (and OS9 content) of the
Rainbowfests, and the infrequency of the Microware OS9 Seminars, there
is a movement afoot to get an OS9 Convention going. Current support is
high, and it looks as if the first of these will be in the Dallas/Fort
Worth Texas area. Here's a preliminary blurb on the topic:

" A group of folks are exploring the idea of holding a convention for OS-9
users sometime in the February or March time frame, this winter. The
convention, which would be held in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex at a site to
be determined, would combine an exhibitor's show area with special attention to
inexpensive booths where budding enterpreneurs can display their wares,
lectures on both OS-9 and OS-9/68000, as well as the fellowship of meeting your
fellow OS-9 Users Group members, if the U-G can be convinced to participate in
the convention, officially.
"So far, the reactions from both the user community and from industry folks has
been positive."
" So, now, the search for a suitable site for the convention is beginning. Once
a suitable site has been selected, the dates for the convention, tenatively
scheduled for a Saturday (all day) and Sunday (morning and early afternoon)
will be known. From that point, the costs can be determined, etc.
If you would be interested in attending the convention, either as a participant
or as an exhibitor or lecturer, please drop a note or postcard to:
Wayne Day
Golden Triangle Corporation
6029-A Plum Street
Watauga, TX 76148
and let him know.
