Haiku Down Under 2008
In May this year, I wrote to the Haiku Mailing List, proposing that the Australian Haiku Users and Developers hook up with an existing Open Source event to generate some Haiku interest in our Country. It was decided that the cost of heading to a central event, would be too costly and as we are spread out all over Australia, I then started thinking about plans of doing something online - a Virtual Conference, so to speak.
As Haiku's Anniversary is coming up on the 18th August -- I figured, we'd try and have an annual event centred around this date. Due to the short notice, I thought it would be best to keep it as simple as possible, and as this is the first event, it can then be used to generate more interest and discussions around Haiku.
So, if you have any ideas or suggestions of what you would like to see, please advise ASAP. Also, if you would like to show off your latest code or have something to say, please let me know also and we'll work that into the schedule.
The current schedule is:-
* Welcome to HDU + Brief History of Haiku
* How to get Haiku ?
* Beginners Guide to Haiku Coding
* Session Break
* A Guide to Windows, Views and BMessages (REPLACED)
* Suited n Booted aka Easy USB Booted
* Giveaways
* Conclusion
For the giveaways, I'm planning on raffling off some prizes such as licenses for well known Haiku apps such as WonderBrush, BePodder, etc.
So, I hope you can make it, if not, the video feed with demos and presentations will be online for all to see.
The web site for all this is http://haikudownunder.com/

Re: Haiku Down Under 2008
Sounds great.
Perhaps there are a few open source conventions where a Haiku demonstration booth or talk could take place.
Any Haiku users/developers attending LCA '09? Count me in for any planned activities (despite being a linux conf, they could be quite interested and welcoming).
Might have to take a bit of Haiku swag to throw around. Contribution bribes. ;)
Re: Haiku Down Under 2008
Thanks to everyone who came - for those who didn't the video is available on the main site or via the UStream web site.
As an errata, I'd like to point out that when I am showing the code to do with the size of the window and how it's defined, I was talking about the centering code. I apologize, I got my notes misplaced for a second.
Congratulations to our prize winners:-
TheNerd (BePodder)
eNGIMa (WonderBrush Commercial License)
BeMark (LinuxWorld 2008 Haiku Polo Shirt Exclusive*)
The tagline for this year was "A New Hope" and Haiku has a bright future. See you all for more exciting adventures at Haiku Down Under 2009.
* This produce is currently not available. It will be made available in coming months.
Re: Haiku Down Under 2008
Does anyone know if you can get the video as a standalone file? It would be handy to watch on the train, as getting time at home can be difficult :-)

Hi Rod,
Yes you can download it. I've added the link to the newer redesigned site, but I'll also post it here:-
