Our IRC channel will contain a fileserver (fserve), which can be used to download interesting
files (see below: Journalism). Expect more guests in the next few days.




Webcam

The webcam will be available on:

Saturday 24th July 1999: 9.30 - 17.40h
Sunday 25th July 1999: 9.30 - 16.00h

We will change the direction of our webcam from time to time. So don't worry, you won't need to
look at the same ugly face every time :))






Journalism

The UGN team at WoA 99 will collect news items, do interviews, make some pictures,... all those
files will be uploaded during and after the show on

an Amiga on the UGN stand at WoA 99
this page of our UGN website
our IRC fileserver

The project is meant to inform everyone as well as possible, so one can get a good view on the
show.





Our sponsors

Without our sponsors it would have been very difficult to give you all the above:

Active Technologies for AmIRC 3 and 1 internal ISDN card
AMIGA for their support and a lot of ware
Haage und Partner GmbH for 2 PCMCIA Ethernet cards



Our team

21 people (some of them full time) will work together to achieve the above and much more, which
will be announced soon. Most of them are (official) members of the UGN, but a few will just help
us for this one time. Thanks to everyone who has helped and/or will help us.
