   Hi Everyone, Just a reminder there's only two weeks left to register for GORF!   
      
   GORF (The Great Oz Retro-Fest or Gathering of Retro-Fanatics) is a multi-day   
   event celebrating the enduring resilience of the personal computing platforms   
   of the 1970s, 80s and 90s including the Apple ][, Commodore 64, Atari,   
   Sinclair and other 8- and 16-   
   bit computer lines, as well as computerised entertainment hardware from that   
   era such as video-game consoles and arcade cabinets   
      
   Modelled on the US KansasFest and Australian OzKFest events, GORF is an   
   immersive experience where attendees stay at the venue, hacking and talking   
   into the wee hours with other participants, or sleeping if that is preferred.   
   GORF 2019 is going to be    
   held at Urban Camp, Royal Park, Melbourne, a facility that has camp-style   
   accomodation.   
       
   I've been organising some Skype calls for GORF to go along with our two   
   keynotes (the Microbee's Owen Hill and retro-gaming researcher Dr Melanie   
   Slalwell) and assorted attendee presentations; so far we have:   
      
   Atari 2600 game designer and Imagic co-founder Rob Fulop   
   Commodore 64 music composer Jeroen Tel   
   Softdisk and Commander Keen developer Lane Roathe   
   Disk-cracker extraordinaire qkumba and   
   Applesauce hardware developer John Morris   
      
   Some of the attendee presentations proposed so far include sessions about the   
   ZX Spectrum, Apple II and Commodore 64
