Some videos and a report on the Amiga Meeting in Bad Bramstedt
The organisers of the Amiga Meeting Nord recorded some videos with a webcam, showing all presentations and lectures respectively. Those videos can be downloaded at meeting2006.morphosi.net. The organisers thank Robin Hueskes, who provides the webspace on this web page. The users are asked to use the torrents if possible instead of downloading the videos directly, to keep the the load for the Hueskes webserver within bearable limits.

When it comes to a conclusion Thorsten Mampel of the Amiga Club Hamburg says: "It was great fun for everybody. We thank all the participants and especially the developers of the amazing presentations. We especially thank Nobbie for the great service and the barrel of free beer ;-)"

Guido Mersmann has published a report on the Amiga Meeting. However, according to him the report was not complete, but simply reports on the way the meeting went from his point of view. The author hopes you enjoy your reading. (cg) (Translation: iw)
