From [email protected] Wed Jan 20 22:59:35 1993 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Mike Levis) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.os.os2.misc,comp.os.os2.programmer,comp.os.os2.networking,comp.os.ms-windows.misc,comp.os.msdos.misc,comp.os.msdos.desqview Subject: RFD: comp.os.os2.{announce,ver1x,beta} Followup-To: news.groups Date: 20 Jan 1993 19:20:40 -0500 Organization: University of Texas at San Antonio Lines: 73 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:3158 news.groups:64753 comp.os.os2.misc:47292 comp.os.os2.programmer:9431 comp.os.os2.networking:2838 comp.os.ms-windows.misc:6455 comp.os.msdos.misc:10871 comp.os.msdos.desqview:5111  Introduction:  	This is a Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of three OS/2 	newsgroups: 	(1)  comp.os.os2.ver1x      (unmoderated) 	(2)  comp.os.os2.beta       (unmoderated) 	(3)  comp.os.os2.announce   (moderated)   Background:  	OS/2 1.x (that is, versions of OS/2 up to 1.3) is a 16-bit operating 	system designed for the Intel 286 processor.  It supports running 	one DOS application, and multiple OS/2 1.x applications simultaneously 	(IBM is still supporting OS/2 1.x).  	OS/2 2.x (that is, versions of OS/2 since 2.0) is a 32-bit operating 	system designed for the Intel 386SX and higher processors.  It 	supports running multiple DOS, Windows, OS/2 1.x, and OS/2 2.x 	applications simultaneously.  	IBM has allowed testers of various OS/2 2.x betas to discuss their 	opinions and feature requests for the betas in public, with no "non- 	disclosure agreements."  In addition, IBM has and is giving out betas 	of OS/2 2.1 for free (either on CD-ROM for a US$15 shipping fee, or 	from ftp sites such as ftp-os2.nmsu.edu and software.watson.ibm.com 	with no charge, read comp.os.os2.misc for details) to anyone who wants 	it.  	In addition, IBM will start beta testing of OS/2 3.0 Mach in late 	1993 or 1994.  This operating system is based on the Mach microkernel, 	will support multiple processors, and will run on a variety of 	hardware architectures.  It will also run DOS, Windows, 32-bit OS/2, 	and AIX (IBM's version of UNIX) applications.  	So, in effect, there are 3 distinct classes of OS/2 now available: 	OS/2 1.x, OS/2 2.x, and various betas of upcoming versions.   Proposed Charters:  	comp.os.os2.ver1x (unmoderated) will allow users of OS/2 1.x to 	discuss all types of issues regarding OS/2 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3.  	comp.os.os2.beta (unmoderated) will allow beta testers to discuss 	bugs, features, suggestions, and availability of beta versions of 	OS/2, including both OS/2 2.x and OS/2 3.x Mach.  In addition, this 	newsgroup will also be used for discussing desired features for 	future beta releases, especially when a beta version is not an active 	topic of discussion.  	comp.os.os2.announce (moderated by Dave Tholen, e-mail address of 	[email protected]) will carry news and announcements 	related to OS/2: 	(1)  FAQ Lists 	(2)  new applications 	(3)  new releases of OS/2 and accessories, including beta 	(4)  CSD announcements 	(5)  summaries of APARs opened 	(6)  OS/2 Worldwide BBS List 	(7)  Miscellaneous material   Schedule:  	This RFD was issued on January 19, and will last for 30 days.  If 	this RFD is approved, a CFV will be issued on February 19, and 	the voting period will end at 11:59 pm (CST), March 12. --  --:--~  (OS|  Mike Levis S/2)  .--:-|  [email protected] --:--(OS/2)|  (OS/2)--~ |  Unofficial OS/2 Spokesmodel  From [email protected] Tue Feb 23 23:39:33 1993 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Mike Levis) Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups,comp.os.os2.misc,comp.os.os2.programmer,comp.os.os2.networking,comp.os.ms-windows.misc,comp.os.msdos.misc,comp.os.msdos.desqview Subject: CFV: comp.os.os2.{announce,ver1x,beta} Followup-To: poster Date: 23 Feb 1993 14:33:58 -0500 Organization: University of Texas at San Antonio Lines: 174 Sender: [email protected] Approved: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> NNTP-Posting-Host: rodan.uu.net Xref: uunet news.announce.newgroups:3271 news.groups:67294 comp.os.os2.misc:51941 comp.os.os2.programmer:10538 comp.os.os2.networking:3483 comp.os.ms-windows.misc:7587 comp.os.msdos.misc:11576 comp.os.msdos.desqview:5471  Introduction:  	This is a Call For Votes (CFV) for the creation of three OS/2 	newsgroups: 	(1)  comp.os.os2.ver1x      (unmoderated) 	(2)  comp.os.os2.beta       (unmoderated) 	(3)  comp.os.os2.announce   (moderated)  	This document contains: 	*  the background showing the need for these newsgroups 	*  the proposed charters for these newsgroups 	*  voting instructions 	*  a voting ballot 	*  some example ballots 	*  the voting rules 	*  the voting schedule   Background:  	OS/2 1.x (that is, versions of OS/2 up to 1.3) is a 16-bit operating 	system designed for the Intel 286 processor.

It supports running 	one DOS application, and multiple OS/2 1.x applications simultaneously 	(IBM is still supporting OS/2 1.x).  	OS/2 2.x (that is, versions of OS/2 since 2.0) is a 32-bit operating 	system designed for the Intel 386SX and higher processors.  It 	supports running multiple DOS, Windows, OS/2 1.x, and OS/2 2.x 	applications simultaneously.  	IBM has allowed testers of various OS/2 2.x betas to discuss their 	opinions and feature requests for the betas in public, with no "non- 	disclosure agreements."  In addition, IBM has and is giving out betas 	of OS/2 2.1 for free (either on CD-ROM for a US$15 shipping fee, or 	from ftp sites such as ftp-os2.nmsu.edu and software.watson.ibm.com 	with no charge, read comp.os.os2.misc for details) to anyone who wants 	it.  	In addition, IBM will start beta testing of OS/2 3.0 Mach in late 	1993 or 1994.  This operating system is based on the Mach microkernel, 	will support multiple processors, and will run on a variety of 	hardware architectures.  It will also run DOS, Windows, 32-bit OS/2, 	and AIX (IBM's version of UNIX) applications.  	So, in effect, there are 3 distinct classes of OS/2 now available: 	OS/2 1.x, OS/2 2.x, and various betas of upcoming versions.   Proposed Charters:  	comp.os.os2.ver1x (unmoderated) will allow users of OS/2 1.x to 	discuss all types of issues regarding OS/2 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3.  	comp.os.os2.beta (unmoderated) will allow beta testers to discuss 	bugs, features, suggestions, and availability of beta versions of 	OS/2, including both OS/2 2.x and OS/2 3.x Mach.  In addition, this 	newsgroup will also be used for discussing desired features for 	future beta releases, especially when a beta version is not an active 	topic of discussion.  	comp.os.os2.announce (moderated by Dave Tholen, e-mail address of 	[email protected]) will carry news and announcements 	related to OS/2: 	(1)  FAQ Lists 	(2)  new applications 	(3)  new releases of OS/2 and accessories, including beta 	(4)  CSD announcements 	(5)  summaries of APARs opened 	(6)  OS/2 Worldwide BBS List 	(7)  Miscellaneous material   How to Vote:  	To cast your vote, fill out the ballot below and email it to me.

Example Ballot #2:  	a)         comp.os.os2.ver1x: yes 	b)          comp.os.os2.beta: yes 	c)      comp.os.os2.announce: yes  	d)  voter's last, first name: Doe, Jane  	In this example, Jane Doe favors the creation of all the proposed 	newsgroup charters.   Voting Rules:  	* One vote per person.  If you vote more than once, only the most 	  recent vote will be counted.  	* Votes must be mailed to me by the person voting.  Proxy voting, 	  forwarding, posting votes to a newsgroup, etc. will not be counted.  	* Do not ask how the votes are going.  The status of the votings 	  will be revealed only after the poll closes.  	* I will acknowledge votes by Mass Acknowlegement (ACK).  I will 	  post this document twice (see Schedule below).  	* If you need help for using your editor, using e-mail, how 	  voting works in general, etc. then ask an expert at your site. 	  Also see the ``How To Create a New Newsgroup'' article which is 	  posted to news.answers on a regular basis.  	* If you need any clarifications on voting procedures for this 	  CFV, send me e-mail at [email protected]   Schedule:  	The voting period began when the news.announce.newgroups moderator 	posted this CFV.

I will post the voting 	results and tally shortly after that date.

(b)  the number of YES votes must be at least twice the number 	     of NO votes (i.e. YES >= 2 * NO, or YES - NO >= NO).  	In other words, a newsgroup passes if the following formula is true: 	YES - NO >= max (100, NO), where max() returns the highest number 	given to it.  	(1)  comp.os.os2.ver1x worksheet: 		YES - NO >= max (100, NO) 	        311 - 74 >= max (100, 74) 	        237      >= 100 	     therefore comp.os.os2.ver1x passes  	(2)  comp.os.os2.beta worksheet: 		YES - NO >= max (100, NO) 	        408 - 29 >= max (100, 29) 	        379      >= 100 	     therefore comp.os.os2.beta passes  	(3)  comp.os.os2.announce worksheet: 		YES - NO >= max (100, NO) 	        428 - 18 >= max (100, 18) 	        410      >= 100 	     therefore comp.os.os2.announce passes    Proposed Charters:  	comp.os.os2.ver1x (unmoderated) will allow users of OS/2 1.x to 	discuss all types of issues regarding OS/2 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3.  	comp.os.os2.beta (unmoderated) will allow beta testers to discuss 	bugs, features, suggestions, and availability of beta versions of 	OS/2, including both OS/2 2.x and OS/2 3.x Mach.  In addition, this 	newsgroup will also be used for discussing desired features for 	future beta releases, especially when a beta version is not an active 	topic of discussion.  	comp.os.os2.announce (moderated by Dave Tholen, e-mail address of 	[email protected]) will carry news and announcements 	related to OS/2: 	(1)  FAQ Lists 	(2)  new applications 	(3)  new releases of OS/2 and accessories, including beta 	(4)  CSD announcements 	(5)  summaries of APARs opened 	(6)  OS/2 Worldwide BBS List 	(7)  Miscellaneous material    Schedule:  	The voting period began when the news.announce.newgroups moderator 	posted the CFV.  It ended at 11:59:59pm (CST), on March 20, 1993. 	Votes received since then are not to be counted.  	As soon as this RESULTS document is posted by David C. Lawrence 	(the news.announce.newgroups moderator), there will be a five day 	waiting period for the net to correct any errors in the voter 	list or the voting procedure.
