There has been a lot of activity on the Haiku project website this Easter weekend. Let’s start with the news that Bruno will be giving a presentation titled ‘Introducing the Haiku Operating System’ in Brazil. The presentation will be held on Friday the thirteenth at the International Free Software Forum (FISL 8.0) in Porto Alegre.

Quoted from Haiku-os.org
FISL is a major open software event in both the Brazilian and International FOSS event’s calendar. This, the 8th edition of FISL, is expected to attract a big crowd, making it a great venue to introduce Haiku to many open source enthusiasts. Additionally, if you happen to be in the neighborhood, this would also be a great chance to meet with one of the lead Haiku developers in person and chat with him about the current status and future of the project.

Also in the news is an update on the Haiku GSoC adventure. Google has assigned 7 (preliminary) student slots to the project, the exact number of people the team intended to have. The students have been selected out of 42 (!) applications and on April 12 the final list of projects will be posted on code.google.com. Although the students will work on the projects during summer some of them can’t wait, look here!

Update: I just came across this very interesting thread on the Haiku forums: Donation, Funding – organized campaign. Initiatives like these can make a difference, I’d love to own an original Haiku T-Shirt, and with buying it make a contribution to the project.
