Dane Scott let me know a few days ago, that a touchscreen system for TuneTracker is currently in development. It should be available, if all goes well, by the end of Q1 2007. Here's part of the announcement:
"Designed to work with TouchEasy monitors, our touchscreen systems will allow the DJ to start audio events by simply touching the large square buttons on the TuneTracker Command Center interface. The user will be able to flip through pages of configurable hotbuttons to play audio events, fire switcher events, and display scripts. Volumes will be adjustable using a finger-slide.You will also be able to rearrange audio events by dragging them up and down within the visible program log list view."
Another advancement for TuneTracker Systems, probably the most successfull story in BeOS/ZETA world of commercial apps. Keep it up!

As we first reported here a couple of weeks ago, Michael Lotz has been working (among other projects) on a Gnash port. Yesterday I wrote him, asking if he could give a status update on his
work. Being the nice guy that he his, not long after I had his reply, which I'm sharing with you now. Click below to read it (and see the screenshots), in the first person.

As I'm sure you're all aware, on the weekend of December 9 and 10, BeGeistert 017 was held in Milan, taken outside of Germany for the first time. Community member Giuseppe Gargaro was present and wrote a report for you all to read. You can read the original Italian version here, or click below for his English (with some editing by me) translated version. Enjoy.

In February 2007, on the 10th and 11th, Haiku will make its debut at SCaLE 5x, a Linux Expo, particularly the Fifth Annual Southern California Linux Expo. The venue, Westin LAX.
There aren't specifics on Haiku's exhibit yet, they're still being discussed internally, and will be announced asap. If you're in the area, or if not, plan on going there to show your support, you could actually take part of it and help Haiku, so drop them a line (under Category select "Marketing") and who knows, you could end up telling your grandkids "I was there...". Ok, too much I know, but you could be part of the Haiku exhibit! Very cool indeed.

BeSly wrote the second part of their yab beginners tutorial. In this part, after first covering the basics, they walk through the process of creation an application, in this example, an app to create a bfs image. They cover the planning stage, creation of the program window and interface, among others.
If you haven't read the first part, you should, it'll give you the basics of this programming language. You can download yab's source as well using CVS and BeSly also offers a Help page for coding using yab. BeSly also offers others tutorials on their page, both in German and English, so be sure to check them out.

Thanks to the donation of developer Anthony Lee, who donated the input server add-on BeCJK code to the project, Haiku users will, in the future, be able to write using Chinese characters. For Haiku to be able to not only allow writing but also to display the characters, and also with the help of Anthony, a search has begun for a good set of Chinese fonts to be used.
Thanks to Anthony for his donation and help on this matter, making Haiku available to even more users. Read the full announcement, written by Koki, on the Haiku site.

Bernd Korz, with the help of Ramshankar (aka Teknomancer) and Matthias, picked together a large number of ZETA screenshots and put together a ZETA Gallery, with several albums, from Media, to Office, passing by System and Graphics among others. In the Media album, you can see some screenshots of the new CD/DVD burning app named Mediafire (already tested it a couple of days ago and it's working nicely, although still incomplete of course).
Another album of interest is MultiUser, which we here at ICO showed you before. In it you can see how the user creation process is done, its several steps, what needs to be filled out, etc. A fast, easy, painless process. Finally, in the Internet and Network album, you can take a peek look at the new application WilmaCon (from Windows, Linux and MacOS Connections, it reminds me of the Flinstones), a front for the recently ported SAMBA. That I haven't had the chance to test unfortunately, no other computer on my network.
It's a large collection of screenshots, so head over and enjoy.

Nice surprise in the mail today thanks to Karl. He's been experimenting with Haiku, under VMWare's Fusion on OS X, tinkering with the network stack. He managed to make it work using vlance, the VMWare NIC driver available at Bebits. As you can see from the screenshot below, network is a go! Good work Karl.
By the way, he mentions that Haiku's much faster under VMWare than under Paralells, it just doesn't shut down correctly. One more note, I just downloaded revision 19447 and it's not booting, using VMWare Player under Win XP, any thoughts on this out there?

Spotted this just now over at the Haiku site, posted by Koki. Tucked away in his basement, with enough provisions to last him till Christmas, Axel has been, as usual, a busy bee, and he's been working mostly on the Network Stack, building here, changing there, improving yonder (I knew I would use that word oneday).
Thanks to (but not exclusively of course) a recent commit, himself and other devs/testers, have been able to get the stack up and running and able as well to use the IRC client (which I love) Vision, as can be seen in the screenshot below (taken from the Haiku site for bandwidth purposes). Instructions on how to get the stack going were also posted by Axel. I've said before, but great work as usual Axel. I for one will be tossing a teddy bear down the basement stairs on Christmas Eve for this. Awesome.

No its not Bill Gates, but rather the developer of the OSBOS Cosmoe.
For those who do not know what Cosmoe is, the following introduction is for you.
Cosmoe was one of the first OSBOS announced at beunited and was also the first OSBOS to successfully run the OpenTracker. It is, to this day, developed by a man called Bill Hayden. The big difference between Haiku and Cosmoe is that it runs on the Linux kernel and that it's using GPL as its license.
Click below for a short Q&A with Bill and more...
