Heise: Sun Officially gives StarOffice to Open Source under GPL
During the last days there was the rumour Sun was going to release their Office-packet source-code under the
GNU General Public License (GPL). Even in-house this was called nonsense. But today Sun will be
announcing the release of the source-code officially.
The release of the source code Sun will be announcing at the O`Reilly Open Source Convention in Monterey.
As the coordinator for the further development of the Office packet the organization OpenOffice.org is to be
founded in which are participating Tim O'Reilly, Miguel de Icaza of the Gnome projekt, Brian Behlendorf of the
Apache Software Foundation and Andy Hertzfeld, and others. More members Sun will name during the day to which well-known
companies belong. Besides the coordination of the sources Open Office is to be responsible for the definition
of XML basing file formats, as well as for the programming of intersections.
Full report at the titlelink.

#AmigaQuake has Moved to QuakeNet
Because of the increasing popularity of Quake on the Amiga we want to point out the movement of our channel.
Our small channel still exits since Quake of ClickBoom, but only on the IrcNet.This channel we have
left, cause continuous NetSplits, Lags and user-restrictions. For more than one week you can now contact us on the
QuakeNet.
Adresses of servers you can find at www.quakenet.eu.org.
So, interested users should come there quickly. Newcomers are very welcome. We'll try to help everybody!
Addtionally there are three bigger Quake Clans of TeamFortress in which numerous Amiga users take part. One
of those Clans was founded by me...:) Hope to see you in the new #AmigaQuake.

Furthermore a games forum was established in which you can publish your own ideas of games. So, maybe
there will be a developer to become busy to make your dreams come true.

APUS, LinuxPPC and GeekGadgets - Mirror online
At http://www.ironbyte.de ir ftp://ftp.ironbyte.de/pub/ironbyte I installed my own mirrorserver for LinuxPPC, LinuxAPUS
and GeekGadgets/Amiga. Due to some requests about HiSoftBasic for AmigaOS I also publish the includes there. The server
is connectet to the internet through a 100Mbit-connection. I will update the pages nearly every week. The download-area
actually contains 6.4GB of datas. An easy searchfunction helps you to find the file you are looking for. So, have fun.

opens the way for a new kind of dealing with offers
of the internet. Soon these flatrates will cause a fundamental change of
the users behaviour. Some hours or megabytes more or less
are no longer important if you use a flatrate. you can left the
establishing and canceling of the internetconnection to your computer.
Especially if you have an ISDN-connection, where the
establishing-procedure just takes a few seconds, the borders between of-
or online
are vanishing.»
