New, open source Gotek firmware: FlashFloppy
FlashFloppy is a alternative firmware for the floppy emulator Gotek, which original firmware meanwhile is not developed further. Additional to the proprietary alternative HxC, now an open source option is available. A first alpha version has been released. Currently FlashFloppy only works if no other (external) disk drives are connected.
Besides, the open source FlashFloppy File Selector also is available, which can be used to choose the currently used disk image under AmigaOS.

AmigaOS 4: Video of latest development status of "Tower 57"
The arcade shooter "Tower 57" which was financed in summer 2015 by crowdfunding has not been finished yet. But Daniel Müßener updates his Amiga port of the game which is also in development. Recently the JSON-library had to be completely rewritten because the library used by the original version didn't build with Müßener's compiler. Now Müßener has published a video at Youtube which demonstrates the latest devlopment status of the AmigaOS version. The author explicitly has pointed out that this a unfinished preversion of the game.

Cloanto: Transcripts of speeches on events (2014-2017)
In the forum of Amigaworld.net, 'Tripos' transcribed three videos in English, in which Mike Battilana gives an insight into the work of Cloanto from now up to 1986.
'Tripos' was inspired by A Discourse on Possible Futures, recently published on cloanto.org, discussing "discuss possible futures involving open source, a nonprofit and/or foundation, and other long-term preservation scenarios for the legacy which we worked so passionately to keep alive". Similar considerations about a network for possible releases of Amiga components also had Olaf Barthel.
