- September 1st sees the launch of AmigaSoc UK's web site
- (http://uk.amigasoc.org). Apart from in-depth reviews and features, we
- will also be offering the opportunity to help people out with any
- Amiga-related problems they may have, as well as other services which
- are due to be implemented within the next few weeks. We are also
- looking to provide a comprehensive listing of all UK Amiga groups, so
- if you represent one of them, please get in contact with us at
- webmaster@uk.amigasoc.org.
-
- AmigaSoc was founded from the Queen Mary and Westfield College,
- University of London Amiga Society (http://www.qmw.ac.uk), with which
- we still maintain strong links, to create a UK-wide centre for users
- and developers alike to join together. The aim of this union is to
- provide a starting point for developers to work together in order to
- avoid replication of effort, to provide the products that users really
- want, and most importantly to re-establish the Amiga's foothold in the
- computer industry. We are pleased to be affiliated to The Jay Miner
- Society for the advancement of Personal Computing in our efforts to
- achieve these goals.
-
- AmigaSoc is a non profit making organisation.
-
- AmigaSoc UK was founded in June 1997 by Glenn Clarke
- (g.a.clarke@qmw.ac.uk), Andrew Elia (odin@dcs.qmw.ac.uk), Chris
- Livermore (chrisl@cursci.co.uk), Julian Sadotti, and Dan Winfield
- (dan@immstudios.com).
