========================
The fourth quarter is the most strenuous. Seems that we survived it. Large
projects were debugged, new utilities created. We presented our solutions

Warpstock Europe 2006
The presentations were prepared by large group of developers and
consultants from other teams.
* Developers of native eComStation software vote for
evolutionary way of the operating system development.
The main idea of the Evolutionary Sprint (aka ES-Way):
"Let's create more original software for eCS users,
then promote it on other markets to attract new users".
