Heise: Hackermeeting hacked?
From the Heise article about the Chaos Communication Camp by the CCC:
The ports of the camp systems connected to the network have been scanned far and wide
since Friday evening, to find the weak spot in the "enemy" system. The organisers had
warned all "green" users to do Telnet sessions with encryption only, to make life not
too easy for the password sniffers. But about 6:30 PM, the catastrophy happened: the
systems suddenly denied any exchange of data with each other or internet. The Network
Operation Center (NOC) at the campsite surrendered and issued a "Red Alert". Even in
the early morning of Saturday, the NOC was still offline.

Mandrake was at Amiga
Mandrake, co-developer of the Window Manager for X (Enlightenment) was invited to a
meeting at Amiga. Here his statement from his website:
Today I, raster, nettwerk, kainx, and chris dibona went over to amiga to have a little chat with Allen
Havemose (VP of Engineering) and Richard Lipes (Director, Multimedia Services) of Amiga. We talked about
a few interesting things. I promised I wouldn't say too much about what they told me on my web site, but
they might be holding a couple of tricks up their sleeve yet. I also got to leave with a bunch of Amiga
paraphanalia - which in and of itself is kinda cool. I don't know what all I can talk about q uite yet,
but I'll find out. They were pretty impressed with enlightenment, which is cool - but we did make sure
they realized it IS only beta (at best) code and we're not anywhere near done with it yet. We'll see
where this goes from here. But I'm pretty excited about maybe working with them on a few things.
This is a repost, the original message had the links screwed up.

Amiga Advisory Council Press Release
»August 6, 1999
San Diego, CA - The Amiga Advisory Council is officially launched today
August 6th, 1999.
The community submitted hundreds of Nominations, and based upon your input
we are pleased to welcome the following members of the Amiga Advisory
Council:
Andrew Elia Ben Vost Bill Panagouleas Cade Hannan
Carsten Schroeder Chris Heereman Christian Kemp Christoph Dietz
Conor Kerr Craig DeLahoy Dave Law Don Hicks
Gary Peake Gunter Horbach Heinz Wrobel Holger Kruse
Ian Greenaway Jeff Rose Juergen Haage Kermit Woodall
Luca Denelon Malte Mundt Randhir Jesrani Thomas Frieden
Thomas Raukamp Thomas Svenson Tom Lively Trish Zlotek
Wayne Hunt Wayne Martin
The objective of the AAC is to help us better plan the future of Amiga
through close communications with people who are viewed as leaders in the
Amiga community. The members of the AAC have all executed non-disclosure
agreements (NDAs), with Amiga and will have access to confidential
information regarding future products and plans. This allows Amiga to share
sensitive information with respected members of the Amiga community without
having to disclose our plans publicly.
The members of the AAC were selected to represent their different areas of
affiliation within the Amiga community - the Press, Developers,
Dealers/Distributors, and the User Group organizations. The AAC is
designed to provide a flow of information from the Community to the Amiga
management team and from Amiga back to the community. Each of the members
of the AAC will act as a conduit to the community and the areas that they
represent.
We held our first official meetings with the AAC in London and in Sacramento
with over 20 AAC members participate in these first official meetings. The
AAC was able to share with Amiga many of the desires, and needs of the
community. As we work towards the launch of the Next Generation Amiga the
input received by the AAC will help guide those decisions.
"We are excited to welcome the members of the AAC as active representatives
of the Amiga community and look forward to implementing many of the programs
suggested in the near future, stated Jim Collas, "together we will make a
difference in computing forever."
