@djomre,

Any pilots here?   Thinking of flying my Piper Cherokee to Amiwest.  Leave from St. Louis area and split fuel.  Probably 220 bucks each.  Cherokee cruises 125-135mph.

Aww man!!! Now you got me dreaming of a Velocity XL.

I'm still looking for anyone willing to share a room with me saturday night. I will of course pay for the room. I wont be able to come if I dont have a place I know I can ahead of time.

terrific news from amiga on the lake this past week. apparently they'll be handing out 10%-off discounts for amiwest attendees -- so, for example, that's nearly $200 off the X5000 base system. and if you make your purchase during amiwest itself, you get another 7% discount for any additional purchases through the end of the month.

apparently amiga on the lake is continuing with their efforts to support amiga software development, and jaime kreuger will be talking about his joint projects with them at the show, too. and he'll dish on some sales information to give everyone an idea of how things are going at the only next-generation amiga dealer in the americas. yet another reason to join us in sunny sacramento later this month. i hope to see some of you there!

I'm at the Motel 6 a few miles away.  I had booked for a single bed, but when I found out your situation, I tried to change to two beds.  Too late!  All the other rooms were reserved already.

If you bring a sleeping bag and air matress, you could use the floor of my room.

just wanted to update everyone on a few things.... the devcon has progressed nicely with several developers here. we've had the opportunity to play around with a bunch of stuff, including the source code to the original 'juggler' demo from the early days of the amiga launch (see here). jaime krueger, mark ritter, steve solie, hans de ruiter have been presenting, and there's plenty to come once the show starts tonight.

bill bosari, a.k.a, tekmage, is arriving later today, and should have a good streaming solution for those who have been unable to attend. and both A-EON and hyperion are presenting tomorrow morning with news, so be sure to tune in. steven solie has graciously offered to do a Q&A with amiga.org members after the show for those interested. we'll do that in a separate thread next week.

and lastly, a big thanks to goody and trevor for all of the booze so far. many a devcon attendee has had at least one headache since wednesday. well done!

Sounds fun.
It should be a very interesting year for AmiWest.
Looking forward to the video coverage as (once again) I can't make it there.
Oh well, there is always next year, after all, for a 'dead' platform things seem pretty lively, no doubt there will be an AmiWest 2018 (barring a natural disaster or any other act of God, God forbid).
Hoping all attending (including a few of my friends) have a good time.

What is the URL for the Live feed?  The Broadcast link on the AmiWest page is broken.

@All

I've have updated the broadcast page on Amiwest.net.  Here is what it says:

Latest status: Expect the streams to start at 10 am PT.


Be warned that the internet connection at the hotel is extremely unreliable. We could see issues with the stream dropping or cutting out. I have a backup plan so bear with us if the stream becomes to

This year we will be broadcasting with youTube here. Due to some technical issues the live stream from youTube does not work on the Amiga anymore. Can't have that! So we will be running a second stream, from the same source. This is using the older shoutcast technology that worked for us well in the past. I have tested this with both Emotion and mplayer. If you are on a PC, Mac, phone, or Linux I'd stick with youTube. If you are on an Amiga use the shoutcast stream.

Note to Emotion users, if the stream drops the play might not notify you, please reconnect if it appears to have stopped.

Shoutcast stream: http://54.147.139.76:8000/stream

YouTube Link:

The video's will be on youTube after the event on this channel

We will be monitoring the feedback on the streams on the AmigaWorld IRC server on the channel #amiwest2017. Connection details can be found here

This might not make it into the video coverage, but Paul "Acill" Rezendes will be demoing MorphOS 3.10 on his X5000 at a table rented be David "AmigaDave" Morris today and tomorrow.

Just thought I'd post a notice of this for anyone interested.
