Amiga Inc. To Host Official Developers Conference at MAE
We are very pleased to announce that South Dakota-based Amiga Inc., will be
hosting its first-ever official Developers Conference at the The 1997 Midwest
Amiga Exposition (MAE) which will be held in Columbus, Ohio on November 1 and
2. The show is produced by the Amiga Central Ohio Network (AMICON) user group
and will be attended by many Amiga software and hardware companies, Amiga
industry luminaries and promises to be a very positive shot in the arm for 
he
entire Amiga community.
Darreck Lisle, Amiga Inc.'s Public Relations and Events Coordinator told
CUCUG, "The Developers Conference at the MAE show is actually just the first
of a series of international conferences Amiga Inc. will be sponsoring. We
recognize the importance of effective communication and cooperation between
software and hardware makers and the new Amiga development team here at Amiga
Inc. and we are putting together an ambitious program to facilitate an
effective exchange of ideas and information."
Additional conferences are now planned for Cologne Germany, Milan Italy, St.
Louis Missouri, and London, according to Lisle.
Amiga Developers Network Planned
CU Amiga Magazine announced today that it was contacted by Amiga Inc. and
asked to assist in building a database of Amiga developers. Serious Amiga
developers are being encouraged to register at the CU Amiga web site
(http://www.cu-amiga.co.uk/news/devreg.html) for possible, later contact by
Amiga Inc. A Registered Developers Network will at some point be put together
by Amiga Inc., according to Lisle who also went on to say, "The Industry
Council Open Amiga (ICOA) will play a big part in the future of the 
evelopers
Conferences, and the Developers Network."
Epson Supports the Amiga
In another bit of promising Amiga news, Lisle told CUCUG, "The people at 
pson
have agreed to work with us and to supply us with everything needed to 
evelop
software and drivers to support their full line of printers and scanners."
This unexpected announcement will come as a relief to the many Amiga users 
ho
have been frustrated by the lack of Amiga driver support for popular
peripherals in the past.
