BeGeistert 018
Manette.be - January 14th, 2008

BG018 is just over. This edition brought us more than 220 CVS committed changes (including the results of the Code-a-thon week).

On haiku-os.it and ICO there are some details about what progress have been made:

• USB 1.1 keyboards and mouses will now work when connected to an usb 2.0 hub;
• Hidden multi user support as it was implemented in BeOS;
• Good achievements on the cpu 68k port;
• On the kernel front work was done on the Virtual Memory, the File System and to the debugging possibilities (debug tracing);
• Although I don’t know how far it gets there were also commits about theme-ability of Haiku (look here or here for instance);
• Some work also on the SATA/PATA components;

This year there was a presentation of Syllabe and, lucky us, they also made plenty pictures of the event :-).There is a news post about it on the main page of the www.syllabe.org but for those who wanna get directly to the hot stuff, just click here: tm.kaldience.com/BG018/index.html.

Also Giuseppe from haiku-os.it got some pictures from Düsseldorf where the event took place. They can be found here: picasaweb.google.it/giuseppe.gargaro/Dusseldorf.

I think we’ll get some more news in the next days to come.

[UPDATEs]:

Have a look at stippi’s blog entry on haiku-os.  Oh yeah, this post is reported at OSnews !
