Roman Stangl

Roman Stangl is 30 years old and has worked for IBM Austria since 1994. He has been a member of a C/C++ OS/2 project. He is currently involved in check processing outsourced to IBM by an Austrian bank. He got his first PC in 1982 and quickly made the transition from DOS to OS/2. Besides OS/2 programming, he uses his LAN at home to try out emerging technologies like multimedia and WWW applications. Additionally he has some hardware experience and doesn't hesitate to use a soldering iron. Besides being interested in everything related to PCs, he is interested in high-tech from A to Z. He is a single and lives in a household with his parents and loves to care for the peach trees he has grown from the cores. He now has his own car, but prefers public transportation utilities.

Hi Yuri!

>May be you know about relaunch of EDM/2 magazine. 

That's great news, I remember to wait each month for the latest release 
and was disappointed that it stopped suddenly, though I understood that 
the demand for OS/2 in general became too low. I'm curious how the 
relaunch will work in the future, and if there are signs that it is 
accepted I may invest some time to write a few things I did want when the 
old magazine died ;-).

>I want to ask you about republish of your articles under FDL license so 
other ppls can fix & >extend your articles. You can read more on 
www.edm2.com site. Thank you for you help.

Hmm, I have to admit that I justed google'd what FDL is *gg*. From flying 
over it it seems that it just says more or less 'it's free just do with it 
what you want' (ok, I admit that I'm absolutely desinterested in studying 
legal stuff, thus didn't read it exactly).

But, and you can take that as my written permission, I agree that my 
articles can be republished under the FDL license, and I agree that you 
can add the claim my articles are under the FDL license (I personally 
currently do not have the time, nor do I use OS/2 frequently, nor do I 
know where I still have the stuff at home). If I need to add the FDL 
license myself it surely will take a while, if you want to do it, you're 
warmly welcome!

Warm regards/Mit besten Gruessen! Roman

Hi again,

>I'm very sorry for my mistake, but license not FDL (FDL was pointed as
>'default' license in wiki system), but www.edm2.com/index.php/License.
Please,
>confirm you agree republish under this license. And thank you very much.

The new license is ok for me (short and easy to read too). Thus I grant you
and Netlabs to
republish my articles from the old EDM/2 under that license
(Attribution-Share 2.0 License).

Warm regards/Mit besten Gruessen! Roman
