Hi folks,
I've moved the site over to a new location. The website is really broken right now (broken links), and most, probably all files won't be available for download for a while until I repair the database. One of the main reasons for moving was more processing power, the other is unmetered bandwidth ;)
Shouldn't take too long until I have things back to normal!
*Update - most things are fixed, just a couple minor things to repair.

A very close poll decided that the February Thank You Award winners are the Begeistert Organizers!
Congratulations :)
I will forward the money to one of the organizers, hopefully they'll hang on to it until next year, and perhaps they can use the money to buy a Pizza lunch or something similar.
This month's TYA saw a lot of comments. We try our best to accomodate everyone's request and make things run as smooth as possible. Unfortunately, there was some disagreement with the way the award is organized and who the nominees should be. In order to alleviate these problems, for our next award on April 1st, we'll send an email to the OpenBeOS mailing list for suggestions and comments on nominees.

Just went over to look at gobe.com for an update to their site and maybe some news, and noticed in my web browser's activity/status bar, that some information was being referred from gobe.in...
So, I checked it out. Seems they have a nice website, with some product information ;)

There may be some interruptions in the next couple of days as we're upgrading the server.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

A lot of people have been asking how well Haiku runs on modern hardware. Unfortunately, it's hard to say. Our hardware database isn't very resourceful (yet), maybe because Haiku isn't easy to install, and hasn't reached R1 yet.
So in case you missed it, vercu posted a link in our forum to an excellent article by Cyan about running BeOS on modern hardware. Although for BeOS, some of the information may relate to Haiku.
Here it is .

More Haiku revisions = more Haiku application compatibility with BeOS R5...
It has been known, for a while, that Mozilla browsers worked (somewhat) on Haiku. Besides slow drawing, the mouse was almost unusable, and one had to rely on keyboard controls to navigate through the browser. This has changed! You can now use Mozilla browsers with your mouse. See ticket #1714: this was actually a bug in BWindow, and probably enabled many more applications to run under Haiku, i.e, perhaps Blender? (which wouldn't previously execute). Blender now opens, but the program doesn't accept keyboard or mouse input, so it's basically useless, but it runs!
Another great game works in Haiku now... 'Roll 'em Up '. A classic pinball-like game.
Ingo has been laying out the API for disk management, and Stippi has been hard at work at bringing us Drive Setup (now included on the Haiku image). Still many unimplemented features, but it looks great! I guess the bounty for this is now redundant, but it will be closed within the week anyways.
Finally, the USB stack has beeen seeing some heavy commits by mmlr, and sbenedetto. I don't understand what they all mean, but it's good to see all the action.
The applications talked about in this article are included in the super pack . Grab it, test it, test some applications, and file some bugs so that we can help the Haiku devs crush some bugs, and get closer to R1!

As you may be aware, every two months we try to pick out some candidates for our Thank You Award (read more about it in the bounties section). The following people were recently recognized to contribute to Haiku in one way or another. As such, we ask the public to vote who they feel should receive the award; the winner receives a $50 USD prize. Here are the nominees:
1. Begeistert Organizers:
The organizers of the BeGeistert meetings, Charlie Clark, Eric Tiggemann, André
Meissner, Ralf Schülke (I'm not sure these are all the people involved...)
For roughly 10 years they work hard to arrange successful events where developers and
users exchange knowledge and opinions. Even in the hard times, when Be Inc. was gone,
YellowTab were critically watched and Haiku wasn't quite on the map yet, the BeGeistert
Orga-Team persevered and continued their work.
2. Nils Reedijk:
As Team Leader of the documentation team, he devised a procedure to enable any number of
volunteers to contribute to documenting the Haiku API whilst assuring a level of quality.
Besides, he's still the most active writer, recently focussing on BMessage and
BLooper/BHandler. Documentation becomes increasingly important as new developers join the
project (or start creating new applications) and have to rely on correct descriptions of
the system.
Furthermore, he's on the team that's restructuring Haiku Inc. after Michael Phipps left
and gives excellent demonstrations at tech fairs like T-Dose. Right now he's in the
process of updating and better integrating the bug-database Trac into the website.
3. Steffen Friedle
He's cross-financing Haiku work by having Stephan, Axel and Ingo employed in his company
Mindwork, where they work on a Java/BeOS/Haiku based media content system. The Haiku
project probably wouldn't be where it is today, if these three core developers had to earn
their money with non-Haiku work and only had a few hours in the evening to code for Haiku.
Several drivers, thousands of lines of code and fewer bugs are a direct result of this
arrangement.
Please go on ahead now and,
VOTE!
Special thanks to those who donated to make the awards possible, as well as to Humdinger for compiling this award's nominees. Our fund for this award is running low, if you can spare some cash to this worthy cause, please donate on our bounty page.
