Archive for 2008 haikupodcast.com announced today the availability of the 13th episode of the Haiku Podcast. Listen to the episode here and go visit haikupodcast.com to get more information about what to expect from this edition. Thank you Sikosis for this great community initiative !
Today on OSnews there is a post stating that 2008 Google Summer of Code as officially started. I did not know that was such such a huge project:
My post also as a reminder to you all that you may give a hand to Haiku on this matter. Jorge G. Mare, aka Koki, prepared a flyer to advertise participation to our GSoC 2008 project. If you know a place where advertising this could be of interested to get in touch with some students-programmers, please go print the flyer (use the PDF or ODT format) and stick it on a wall :-)
Follow the path of Sikosis The Haiku-Podcast Guy :-)
Hey, remember I told you about Zebuntu one month ago ? From that time, a sadly thing happened: Bernd and the Zebuntu Team decided to go different ways. Hmm, déjà vu ? Anyway Leszek continues the development of the “forked” project and seems to have decided to change the name of it (hence the [newnamehere] in the title). Several days ago he reported he began development of a One-Click installer (following the good old BeOS/Haiku simplicity is power motto). Five days ago he told us that One Click Installer has reached Beta status at version number 0.5.
At this time four Install Packs seems to be present ( Gamer, Developer, Education and Security Pack). Looking at the screenshot maybe [newnamehere] == zeVenOS :-) ?
Good news is that Haiku boots fine with that much RAM even it doesn’t take more than 33228 MB into consideration. Read why here.
Two days ago (Hmm, still late on this one) Ic0 posted a news telling us Haiku now have a brilliant shinny new graphical boot loader a-la-BeOS ! Nice job ! This is the result of the work of Artur Wyszynski (aljen) and Stephan Asmuss (stippi). Here is how it looks like:
More information on the Ic0 post. From Ultrabill of BeOSFrance we also learn that this boot screen is available since build 24449 of the code (http://www.haiku-files.org/)
Buenos dias. Some days ago I saw an URL on one Haiku mailing-list: Haiku-OS Colombia. Glad to know about a new Haiku related web site, welcome aboard! Information is provided in Spanish for those who can read it. There I found another interesting piece of information (and no, I don’t speak Spanish ;-). There is an effort ongoing to translate Haiku-OS in Spanish. A SourceForge project has been launched for this and can be found here: http://haiku-es.sourceforge.net/.
For all you Spanish speaking Haiku supporters there is a dedicated mailing list you can subscribe to here http://www.freelists.org/list/haiku-es. And last but not least, here is a site from Argentina: http://www.haiku-os.com.ar/ (still in Spanish). To complete your South America Haiku Links Collection(tm), here is BUG-Brazil http://www.bug-br.org.br/ a long time known BeOS / Haiku blog (AFAIK this one is not in Spanish, please correct me…)
Ok, I’m late on this one, shame on me. Also, looking at the posts I wrote today it seems to me like I do the thing time-reversed today :-) Anyway, as seen almost everywhere, Frank Paul Silye did manage to get the ownership of the Jabber for BeOS source code. With the help of Andrea Anzani they make it work on the Haiku platform. Wanna give a try ? Head over OSdrawer.net ! A more detailed information can be found here and The Nice Picture(tm) is to be found here below :-)
