AmigaSoc UK announces web site
------------------------------
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@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).

Our CV

* AmigaSoc organised the Developers Conference which was
held at the World of Amiga show in May 1997 with assistance from Ben
Vost of Amiga Format magazine (ben@subway.demon.co.uk), Kermit Woodall
of Nova Design Inc. (kermit@novadesign.com), and the Jay Miner Society
for the Advancement of Personal Computing (http://www.jms.org).

* AmigaSoc was approached by the producer of "Chips with Everything"
as shown on The Computer Channel (http://www.computerchannel.co.uk) in
order to assist with production of an Amiga feature. AmigaSoc member
Dan Winfield has since appeared on this show several times.

* AmigaSoc founders Chris Livermore and Dan Winfield have written
articles for Amiga Format
