FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Finnish Amiga Users Group's Meeting Showed AmigaOne and Pegasos
OULU, FINLAND - October 7th, 2002 - Finnish Amiga Users Group's annual meeting was held in Oulu, Finland on September 28th, 2002. The meeting was visited by some 60 people and this well exceeded last years visitor count. This didn't come as a surprise, even though the location was a bit remote for people living in the more populated south of Finland. After all, the users group had a lot more to show this year.
Travelling all the way from Holland, Sharwin and Rakesh Raghoebardayal of Coyote Flux/Thendic France, were there to demonstrate MorphOS on the Pegasos. This was the first public demonstration of Pegasos in Finland. Sharwin and Rakesh spent the entire afternoon showing off the speed and capabilities of their machine. Impressive demonstrations included J Miner, a photogrammetry software that created 3D images out of 2D photographs, and various features of MorphOS and emulation software.
Also on hand to discuss their work on MorphOS were the Finnish developers and long-time Amiga enthusiasts Teemu Suikki and Harry Sintonen. They travelled quite a distance as well, paid by Thendic France. Tomi Ollila of the original AmiTCP group was also present at the venue. Discussions about computer technology, operating systems and life in general were rampant throughout the day. Finnish Amiga Users Group offered free refreshments to all visitors, and some of the people went on to continue the discussions at a dinner later that night.
Gentle Eye Ky, the only active Amiga dealer in Finland, was also present with some of their inventory and two interesting pieces of new technology. The AmigaOneG3-SE and a prototype AmigaOne-XE motherboards were on display. Unfortunately the AmigaOneG3-SE had no working BIOS and the AmigaOne-XE, which was all ready to go and hooked up, didn't boot Linux all the way. This may be due to a configuration error or the fact that it was only a prototype. It was interesting to see AmigaOne there anyway.
Finnish Amiga Users Group also held their official annual meeting and the club is moving ahead with the help of new people and new ideas - although more input and involvement is always welcome. The event was covered on the Internet via IRC, a Shoutcast audio connection, digital photography and a webcam. Unfortunately technical problems delayed these services quite a bit. More photographs and notes from the meeting will be made available via the users group website (http://saku.amigafin.org) and the Saku e-zine.
Finnish Amiga Users Group is interested in showcasing all progress made in the extended Amiga community. In addition to the above-mentioned people, Amiga Inc. was also invited to participate. We were frequently asked about this by our members and visitors, but unfortunately Amiga Inc. did not respond to emails from group officials this time. We hope to display AmigaDE and other products from Amiga in the future, like we did last year with our demonstartions of the Party Pack and the AmigaDE Player.
If you or your company are interested in getting in touch with Finnish Amiga users, please contact the chairman of the Finnish Amiga Users Group, Anu Seilonen, at thoriel@sci.fi to organize something. You do not have to come here in person, we are happy to demonstrate products for you at our meetings. Finnish Amiga Users Group is operated by volunteers interested in supporting a common hobby, so our services are usually free of charge.
The Finnish Amiga Users Group would like to extend its warmest thank you to those who supported our meeting and made it a truly memorable event. We look forward to bringing together like-minded computer hobbyists in the future as well.
