Hi list,
the 17th edition of VCF Europe[0] is coming soon! It will take place on
April 30th and May 1st in Munich, Germany. Please be aware that the
information on the English version of the website might be outdated or
less detailed than on the German page, but Google Translate will help.
Also the registration for VCF Berlin[1] in October is open now. We are
looking for speakers, workshop instructors and exhibitors, both for the
regular exhibition and this year's special exhibition on computers and
languages. It will be open for visitors on Sunday, 2nd and Monday, 3rd
of October, as the 3rd October is a public holiday in Germany, but we
are thinking about inviting people to build up on Friday already and
using Saturday, 1st of October as a day just for the participants and
the community. This way there would be more time to talk and see the
other exhibitions. Maybe we could even offer advanced workshops on
Saturday. Come and visit us! Ping me if you need a place to stay.
Regards, Anke

it's just a general rule we use to explain to people that their old
Windows PC isn't considered vintage. Of course there are exceptions to
this rule, like building enhancements for or replicas of vintage
hardware. For example last year Oscar Vermeulen exhibited his PiDP-8 and
KIM Uno. In case you are unsure whether your exhibition would fit you
can always contact us at info at vcfb.de.
If anybody has a nicer definition of "vintage" or would like to help
with the translation of the website, we appreciate any help!

I want to be clear... I was not saying Anke shouldn't have posted about VCF
here. His post was 100% fine and appreciated.
I just didn't want to get into a "what is classic/vintage" thread again ;)

That's pretty nearly what it says. I'd tweak it as follows.

...to show the hobby and the fun to be had.
...not only historic computers, but for example also historic operating systems ...
