Back from GSoC mentor summit

Hi there! This week-end was the Google Summer of Code mentor summit. This event gathers mentors from all organizations participating in GSoC and GCI for an event hosted by Google. Usually the summit happens at the same time as BeGeistert, and as a result I never made it there before. But with no BeGeistert happening this year, I could finally make it. Normally each organization is allowed to send 2 mentors, but we managed to get 6 people from Haiku to attend this year (by a combination of an extra mentor allowed because we do GCI, putting people on the waiting list and taking the slots freed by other orgs sending only one (or 0) mentor), having some Haiku people working at Google and helping run the event, and an hand-crafted badge to get into the event without registering)

Where is Haiku R1?

Blog post by kallisti5 on Mon, 2017-10-09 10:48

Haiku released R1 Alpha 4.1 on November 14th, 2012. (5 years ago next month). Since our last release, we have seen a huge number of groundbreaking new features slip into the nightly code including package management. Along with the addition of Package Management (which was added pretty shortly after R1A4), we were presented with the massive task of building “all the ports” into packages and maintaining their dependencies within our repositories.

Haiku monthly activity report - 09/2017

Blog post by PulkoMandy on Sat, 2017-10-07 20:26

I was kindly reminded over the IRC channel that it's time for the monthly report once again. So, there we go! This report covers revision 51402 to 51464. Graphics Some efforts this month on the radeon_hd driver, as kallisti5 and jessicah have teamed up to identify remaining issues with displayport and started working towards multi-head support. Kallisti5 also cleaned up the remote app_server as well as the HTML5 drawing backend (which should allow to have Haiku run remotely and render the user interface in a web browser).

Blog post by PulkoMandy on Thu, 2017-09-07 20:26

Hi there, it's time for a new monthly report! This report covers hrev31437-hrev51402 First of all, I have updated the git stats pages for haiku and haikuports. These provide an overview of the overall activity with various graphs, author ranking, etc. Anyway, let's see what happened in Haiku this month. As you know, it was the 3rd month of the coding period, and several patches from our GSoC students were merged in (and there is more to come as we continue reviewing their work).
