The Haiku Project has been making significant strides lately, IsComputerOn have reported on two great new developments. First off, DaaT reports that the Haiku version of Be’s venerable MediaPlayer application is nearing completion; at this point, it is able to run under Haiku and playback most common media formats. Secondly, some good news for BeOS gaming fans – the recent work on OpenGL for Haiku (reported on in the last Weekly Haiku summary) has paid off, it’s now possible to run beautiful sight.

There’s also a piece over on HaikuNews about Haiku Podcast part deux (now available). Sikosis, the star and producer, put out a call for members of the community to record and upload soundbites for inclusion in the podcast. The deadline for submissions has already passed, but perhaps Jason and I will record something for the next episode. Not many people know this about Jason, but in addition to being a BeOS humourist, he is also an accomplished rapper and death metaller… uh, death metallurgist?
