Neowindex 2007 - EU / US


Recommended Posts

Bad news folks. I won't be able to make the meet-up. Another priority event has come up that I must attend to (I'll announce it later). I will still be helping to organize though, so if you're coming, feel free to contact me.

Again, sorry I won't be able to make it out :(

All of the flights for Neowin staffers have been booked. There is no turning back now ;)

If you're going to be attending the US meetup, please PM me and we can work on coordinating a place to meetup. Chris Allen was doing this but work has got in the way of him attending.

Just a quick update on what i'm currently planning for the european event:

Were going to try to organize a sky/podcast with all the staff and members that are there, this is your chance to give your opinions on the topics of the day on the front page of Neowin during NeowIndex

I will be giving a signed photo (dont forget to bring your cameras ;)) of the european team & a 1 year subscription to the most original/funny question during the skycast.

The chance to see how Neowin is run and become a Neowin newsposter for an evening. An indepth look at what happens behind the scenes including:

-Demo of the Neowin CMS and forums

-Ability for members to post there own news to the live site and event blog*

-View how moderating the forums really works and an overview of the policies and procdures that all Neowin staff have to abide by before being let loose on the membership

-Talk to the real brains behind the design and coding of the site including Neobond (Steve), Redmak (Marcel), Dave Legg, and Rob (Rob Wright)

A Team Darts torni, with Teams of Admins, Newsposters, Coders vs members & invited guests from OSSN and Bink.nu

Im also bringing Microsoft branded freebies to give away to members that come along including:

Windows XP Epertzone community t-shirts (XL only)

XP Plus! Digial Media Edition (2 CD inc licence)

Windows XP branded Retractable headphones

Windows XP branded CD Cases holders

We will also be on hand to answer and chat about anything else you have in mind, or just relax have a few beers and laugh your socks of at how something badly-funny always happens to me while im in haarlem (last year was like an episode of The Simpsons - with yours truly being a right Homer

*must be real stories formated and edited to Neowin's usual front page stories

If there is Beer involved. Im so there

As a long time Neowin member, I'm still waiting for my PM for ticket reservations and hotel bookings. I think you guys need a keynote speaker. I am ill-prepared as the next guy would be expected to be. But you should be prepared to be amazed! I can do at least a 2-5 minute keynote about Neowin. I will promote myself for the remaining hour. So how about it?

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
