Oz KFest 2017 with Nick Marentes
10September 1st, 2017, CoCoTALK! foreign correspondent Nick Marentes was our eyes and ears to the Australian KFest 2017.
About Oz KFest:
In 2009, some Australian Apple II enthusiasts gathered in Wollongong for Mt Keira Fest to coincide with Kansasfest.
In 2013, we gathered in Brisbane for Kurilpa-Fest, and again in 2015 in Melbourne for Keysborough-fest.
It is time for another gathering. This time, we have found a location closer to the dormitory-style accomodation of KFest. It is situated at Woorim Beach on the Moreton Bay island of Bribie. The island is linked to the mainland by bridge and about 45 minutes drive north of Brisbane.
The goal of the event is to provide a user group style environment to exchange ideas and discuss new developments in retro computing hardware, software, preservation, emulation and other related topics.
The facilities are available for our use from 30 August through 3 September 2017. The formal schedule will commence from 31 August.
This sneak peek was recorded live and the aired Saturday September 2nd during Episode 24 of CoCoTALK! live!
This version has been enhanced to show a zoomed in version of Nick's reaction to a new OS-9 commercial we were planning on airing, so we wanted everyone to see, best as they could the joy in his eyes!
