It's been nearly a month since the creation of the Haiku port in the OpenJDK project.

In that time, not much has happened. Sadly.

Every single weekend thus far, I've been committed to doing something other than Haiku -- and I don't like it.

That said there has been some progress made.

* OpenJDK is readying support for our Mercurial access.
* Andrew recovered the data from his failed hard disk. This was his work toward merging some of the previous 1.4.2 port's work into early source releases of the OpenJDK.
* I've been drafting proposals to the OpenJDK Innovators' Challenge.

We'll see where this gets us.

Stay tuned. More to come in the next week.

* And the Haiku port got mentionned on the slides of a conference at FOSDEM (can't find the pdf back).

Hi - Sorry if this isn't the right place, but wanted to get the word out that I've resurrected the BeOS Tip Server. Re-gained control of the domain, re-published everything in WordPress, now accepting comments on tips, and am actively seeking contributors to the site who are interested in cleaning up the old data and in writing new Haiku-specific content.

Notes on the conversion

Please spread the word!

Best,
Scot Hacker

Hrm. I subscribed to the list, but the welcome message doesn't tell you what address to send to, and I don't really want to be on the list anyway. Can someone forward my message to the list address please? Many thanks.

Thanks!
