Frank "frankps" Silye and Eddy "Eddyspeeder" Groen both will write about the events on BeGeistert and perform interviews with some of the attendants, so that at least everyone will know about what has all happened during this semi-annual event. Too bad the great atmosphere of BeGeistert can't be captured in words, though
It isn't certain if there is a chance to come online during the weekend. If this is possible there will be an item on what's happening, but no guarantees can be made.
In addition, Frank is also going to report from SYSTEMS 2003, which is starting directly after BeGeistert.

Second, I received a mail about a new site, dedicated to BeOS newcomers, called TechStorm's BeOS Page. It's still in it's early stages, providing only the user with several relevant links, from BeOS distributions, to software and news sites, but I'm sure they'll keep improving it. This just comes to show that general interest in BeOS is on an uphill ride.

This comes after the decision by the Israeli Antitrust Authority, which acknowledged that Microsoft is indeed a monopoly [Ed. note: *gasp* *shock* *holding onto chair*]. This all started after users claimed they were tired of having little or no Hebrew support both in applications and OS. You can read about it in more detail over at The Register.

This time he reports on Adi's work on the redraw and clipping code for the server, which is probably the toughest part of the server.
Work has also been done on the messaging system and on the Appearance and Cursos preferences apps. You can also see a screenshot of the latter. For the full monty, check his site. We'll keep you up to date on their progress here at ICO.

Next, yellowTab reports on their Java and C# Zeta support. They're porting Java 1.4.2 and Mono, and to accomplish that had to add some functionality that BeOS never had. Read it all by following the link above.
Last but not least, Bernd Korz updated his column, this issue being called A time for reflection. He covers various aspects of Zeta, the new ports, the much debated kernel sources and others points. It is definitely an interesting read, so what are you waiting for?

It seems the Abiword port is no longer on "life support" as was mentioned in a previous Abiword weekly news. In their latest issue they mention that the BeOS is back on track, they had a few offers to maintain it. However, no code has been commited yet. I'm sure they'll get busy soon.
Good news indeed. I wonder if a certain gentleman is involved in this... you know who you are.
