haiku-os.org Slashdotted
This morning we were discussing by email with Waldemar what could be causing some DB errors from the photo gallery and a general slowness of the website. Waldemar contacted our service provider, and their response was "your site has suddenly become too popular" (something that effect). Well, no wonder: I just noticed that we were Slashdotted (Haiku Tech Talk at Google a Success). I checked the logs, and it looks like the site received about 10,000 hits from /. in less than 12 hours!
This was the first article about Haiku in Slashdot.org since June 29, 2005 (WalterCon 2005). I have the feeling that we will be mentioned more often from now on. On a somewhat related note, a search for "haiku" on del.icio.us ranks our website in second place, while on Google, we are consistently on fourth position. Not bad at all. :-)

Yep, #haiku has been booming!
Along with the slashdotting has come a large number of new visitors in #haiku as well. Lots and lots of questions, and persons trying to run Haiku images in VMWare, etc.
Several have asked about development, and how to get started...
Should prove interesting over the next week or so.

Nobody gave you props, but I did see your name as the submitter :D

Well, I basically stole Jorge's announcement and added a hyper link or two, and hit the submit button.
