How can I help out?
Any help with promotion efforts will be extremely appreciated! And no, marketing or public relations experience is not required - the only requirement is that you are enthusiastic and willing to help with promotion. To join the promotion team, simply send a private message to jt15s on the Haiku forums.
For information about Haiku's participation in GSoC this year, please see this page.

The third beta for Haiku R1 marks twenty months of hard work to improve Haiku’s hardware support and its overall stability. Since Beta 2, there have been 87 contributors with over 1,248 code commits in total. More than 251 bugs and enhancement tickets have been resolved for this release.
Please keep in mind that this is beta-quality software, which means it is feature complete but still contains known and unknown bugs. While we are mostly confident in its stability, we cannot provide assurances against data loss.

Amazon Web Services (or, in short, AWS) is one of the most prominent cloud computing platforms that’s widely used both by private individuals and businesses alike. Since booting directly from an ISO file is not possible, we will have to create an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) based on a virtual appliance.

Preparing for this tutorial
Disk files represent physical devices but in the form of a file. During the preparation phase, we will need to download a Haiku image file from here. Then, we will have to use VirtualBox to create a disk image that can be later converted into an AMI image file.
