AROS Status UpdateDate: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 12:00:20 +0200 To: AROS Announce mailto:aros-announce@aros.org Reply-To: aros-announce@lists.hepe.com Subject: [AROS-Announce] Status update BGUI has been completely ported to AROS, now. This means that the library can be compiled and that all demos run. Cudos go to Stefan Berger. Michael Schulz is working on making mice work on AROS Native/i386. This includes work on a PCI.HIDD, an IRQ.HIDD, the VGA.HIDD and the Serial.HIDD plus an IDE driver. Trackdisk is there, too, so the next thing is to find a filesystem to use. We try to get SFS because it seems one of the best filesystems for the Amiga at this time. The SFS developers seem to be very positive to this, we'll see what comes from it. As for the Sowatec AG hiring developers for AROS, all I can say at this time is that we had several job interviews and things look quite good. The only thing that might break it at this time (as I see it) is that we get not enough people. We figured that we need four developers and last I looked, we had three and one interview still open. Don't hold your breath but press your thumbs :-) Nils Henrik Lorentzen has begun to write a framebuffer.HIDD which uses Linux' framebuffer for rendering. Right now, it's mostly for debugging (it's a synchronous interface instead of X11s' asynchronous one) but maybe, there will be a AROS Native/linux-i386, ie. a version of AROS that will boot with the help of a Linux kernel but without the need to install a complete Linux system. We'll see what can be done here. And I'm diving into the depths of Ami, the SDK for the next Amiga by Amiga Inc.. As it looks, the SDK is a bit disappointing because it's very rough and has lots of holes but on the positive side, Amiga's crew is very helpful and the developer support is just great. *sigh* Had we just had such a support in the old C= days. Many thanks for their effort go to Ray A. Akey and Gary Peake and all the members of the Tao and Amiga support staff that I'm bombing with EMails ;-) If they can keep this attitude, then I have no doubt that in five or ten years, people will name Ami in the same breath as Windows, EPOC and Linux. Something really to look forward to. As for stats, I'm proud that we made 40k hits on our web page and this year has also been very productive from the EMail side: Last year, there were about 300KB mails/month in the developer list. This year, we have 1MB mails/month ! Thanks go to all those members of the development team that have not been mentioned here but who do important stuff, nonetheless (in no order): Henning Kiel and Lars Bischoff for reporting bugs, Georg Steger for cleaning up after the other developers have raged through the code and calling me back to earth when necessary, Jaime Dias for asking "stupid" questions that make us think what we're doing, Manuel Lemos for trusting us with BGUI, Requin Frederic for helping Michael Schulz, Tobias Seiler for continuing the NetBSD port, Bernardo Innocenti for bugging people to allow us to port their software to AROS and last but not least all those people who I forgot :-) Thanks to you all; it's your work that makes this possible. And at the end, a short note to all those people who started own ports of the AmigaOS: Good luck to you all. I think you will find out soon enough why AROS took soo long. The AROS team is still willing to share their knowledge and code with everyone out there. And we can do this because of the MPL, the only true Open Source license :-) ----------------------------------------------------------- ============================================== Sowatec AG, CH-8330 Pfäffikon (ZH) Witzbergstr. 7, http://www.sowatec.com Tel: +41-(0)1-952 55 55 Fax: +41-(0)1-952 55 66 ---------------------------------------------- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla, digulla@sowatec.com ============================================== _______________________________________________ AROS-Announce mailing list AROS-Announce@lists.hepe.com http://www.aros.org/mailman/listinfo/aros-announce [News message: 01.

"Publius" - The Web against Internet Censorship beeing Tested «"Share and rule" - the classic formula to ensure one's power now apparently is turning against the governing people. Initiated by computer scientists from AT&T and the New York University a two month lastig experiment of a "censorship resident" publication system starts. On Tuesday 02. August 2000 the distribution of the proxy server shall start up, on 7. August 2000 the testing of the client software will begin. The Publius named system ensures the promulgation of web releases similar to FreeNet by putting them on numerous servers using the peer-to-peer technique, and under some circumstances this will be done by splitting the files. Hence it becomes harder for potential or existing censorship offices to close documents in this system by carrier liabilities. More over that Publius relies on multible endcoding: It is only possible to decode the pages after all the splitted framents has been put together again. For the carrier of a server those pages are unreadble. For this reason the carrier cannot be hold responsible for content he/she is not able to know.» The entire article at the titlelink.

Mojo Nation: Another new System for File Sharing «While Napster and Scour (after music the movies) are fighting for their future and one of the atlernative share servers, CuteMX, had closed for the time beeing waiting for the smoke to disapear, which came from the injunction against Napster, which was suspended again in the meantime, Mojo Nation started their test run and touts for users with an amount of features most of the competitors could not offer, yet. E.g. the software even supports it's own micropayment feature, as no other does by now.» «Those seven cypherpunks believe that they have created the next "killer application" for the internet whith their sophisticated system. "We are a mixture of Napster and eBay", blew Jim McCoy, CEO of Autnomous Zone Industries, his big role models to Wired News.» Entire article at the titlelink. (German) [News message: 01.
