Haiku has a couple of busy weekends, one of them happening as I write this. Starting today and ongoing till Sunday the 4th, Alchimie 7 is being help at Espace Rochegude, in Tain l'hermitage, France. During the weekend there will be a coding party, presentations, conferences and more. And, 15mns ago (if there were no delays), François Revol (aka mmu_man) started his presentation on "Porting OSS 4 to BeOS and Haiku", covering the planning, the porting, difficulties, etc of said port. But that's not all, oh no. Tomorrow, at 17h00 local time (16h00 GMT) both François and BeOSFrance's Rémi will do a presentation on Haiku, so if you're the area, plenty of time to attend it.

Now travel forward in time one week, and a few thousand Kms in space, going East, till you reach Japan. More specifically Osaka. On the 9th and 10th it'll take place this year's Kansai Open Source Forum. Koki will travel there, and together with Momoziro-san and also JPBe.net members, will handle the Haiku booth there. It's really great to see the community rally together and present Haiku to as many people as they can. If you're in the area (and in this case you really have to be in the area), drop by and say hello to them.
