Hi there, we’re now in the last part of the summer.
A lot happened in the UltraDV source. The code is gradually maturing and a lot of components have been replaced and implemented among more than 30 commits.
The Haiku site has run into some difficulties as of late. Drupal 6.x is now end of life which means modules are no longer being maintained. This has greatly impacted the stability of the site as the final urgent Drupal 6.x security updates have been applied.
The web team is working through plans to improve the Haiku website and community. Please be patient while we transition to a better long-term solution.

Hey there!
Here comes the activity report for July of 2016. It covers hrev50388-hrev50455
Someone might have already noticed there’s some ferment around UltraDV, originally supposed to be a BeOS killer app then it stalled down. It was finally open sourced under MIT license around 2013 and today we are trying to find a path to see it’s development continue. Today I’m going to show the good points as well as the hard ones.
Let’s talk about the most recent improvements in streaming support, this is perhaps a bit more technical than in past but in this case most of the work was related to refine internal mechanisms. I’m going to talk also about recent MediaPlayer changes, as well as other things.
This week I just received a blue box.
No, not this kind of blue box!
…
Spoilers!
Hey there,
Finally the reports are back to normal monthly schedule!
The summer is coming, which in my case means a little more free time for Haiku hacking. Anyway, on to the interesting facts. This report covers hrev50367-hrev50387 (yes, only 20 revisions this month, but some of them are large-ish with several commits from Barrett).
The last day was spent at the San Francisco office, which although smaller (they have “only” a few floors in a building), is quite nice, with a rooftop and other funny things.
We had a nice breakfast at the cafeteria (I sampled their croissants… not too bad for US ones).
Tuesday is going to be adventure-packed. Let’s hope everyone slept well. I made a quick survey but I’m not sure everyone answered honestly. Although someone admitted lying on the bed and waking up with the clothes still on. No, I won’t give names :D
We had to choose between a Segway tour or a visit to the Exploratorium.
