Hello again folks!

Next month the Adelaide Amiga User Group is hosting an event which aims to celebrate the contribution that South Australia has made to the Amiga on both hardware and software fronts.

Our special guest for this event is Jonathan Potter, who many of you know as the programmer and creator of Directory Opus, a premier file-management program for the Amiga and Windows operating system.

Event Details
 
Date: Monday 7 September 2015, 7:30pm start

Location:
Clarence Park Community Centre
72-74 East Ave
Black Forest, SA

Please note this is the office building adjacent to the hall and not the hall itself.

There is car park spacing available around the back of this building and you can enter it on the left hand side.

Procedure: Attendees are encouraged to bring their Amiga rigs (or other relevant systems) along and set them up in the large conference room. This will hopefully create some topics of discussion and/or demonstration amongst everyone.

While there are ample power-points available in the room, you may wish to bring any power-boards or other connectors to make sure that your systems are appropriately connected.

Internet access is available via Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection

A new initiative:

We are going to allocate a time slot or schedule which will allow for persons who wish to make a presentation in front of the audience about a particular Amiga-related topic or idea.  We will try and keep these between 15-20 minutes long each.

Please e-mail me at (gfmakis@gmail.com) if you wish to participate in presenting a topic or lead a discussion.

*We will also provide coffee/tea and other refreshments to the attendees. [FONT="]

We hope to see you all there!

@Pyromania - Hi there, at this stage we can confirm probably between 25-30.  However we may have more this time given that our numbers have increased per event so far.

@AmmoJammo - I probably should clarify that it is not compulsory to bring any Amiga related item along.  Only if you wish to then the option is there of course.

Just a big friendly reminder to all that our event is being held in roughly two weeks from now! :)

Thank you to those who have already informed us of their attendance as it gives us a rough idea of catering proportions.

Hope to see some new faces there for what will be an exciting event!

Regards to all,

George

@Haranguer - Great! Nice to hear Ian! Looking forward to seeing your set-up if you decide to bring one along.  That Chameleon 64 you brought last time was a great breath of fresh air!

Some replies to previous comments:

eliyahu - Thank you for your kind comments! :)  I'm sure one of us will ask Jonathan about that!

gertsy - Thanks also for your comment regarding Adelaide - I'm sure there were also some great things that came from Melbourne too!  Should also mention that we also had the the 8Meg Board for the 1000 & 500, a custom made AM560 system for the 500 that fitted underneath as well as the Input/Output Board :)  All these designed by Andrew Wilson here in Adelaide under Phoenix.

dschallock - Yes we are very fortunate to have Jonathan attending.  He is traveling from Melbourne for this event!

Just a final reminder to all on here who are contemplating the idea of attending - next Monday is the day!

We have had an overwhelming response of those who are attending.  We are expecting this to be the largest event we've had so far this year.

Look forward to seeing you all there!

- George
