Meeting with JaixBly
by Aleksey Bragin 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

Hello, I want to share that I just had a pleasure to meet Jan "JaixBly" two days ago in Sweden once again. We discussed many ReactOS-related topics, and had fun with a newly delivered Raspberry Pi. We've covered future plans for ReactOS development, testing infrastructure, Samba integration, ARM processors support and many other things. A photo when we took a break from trying to get WiFi working in Raspberry Pi and went outside: http://savepic.org/2407687.jpg Best regards, Aleksey Bragin.

ReactOS and accessibility
by simon.eigeldinger＠vol.at 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Hi all, My name is Simon and I am blind. I saw in the archives that there was a short subject about accessibility in ReactOS in 2010. The NVDA screenreader was tested there and wasn't working. Can someone tell me the current status of this? Maybe there could be a collaboration between ReactOS devs and NVDA devs to get accessibility in ReactOS? NVDA can be found on www.nvda-project.org. Daily snapshots can be found on http://nvda.sf.net/snapshots/.index.html Just some thoughts. Greetings from Austria, Simon

ROS-Diffs fails on special characters in commit message
by Thomas Faber 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hi, I've noticed that the ROS-Diffs list (or rather the hook sending to it) consistently fails on revisions that have special chars in their commit message. E.g. there is no message for r56846, r56844, r56763, r56754 etc. (sorry Hermès :p) This goes back as far as r23711 (August 2006), for which the archive shows no message [1]. It apparently did work at some point because r20354 (December 2005) and earlier seem to have ROS-Diffs messages [2] (although possibly because special chars didn't make it into the mails' subjects). Is there a chance this could be fixed? And in the meantime, could I ask the devs to refrain from using special chars? (don't know about you, but the missing messages are quite an annoyance to me, as this is the most convenient platform for code review) Thanks! -Thomas [1] http://www.reactos.org/pipermail/ros-diffs/2006-August/thread.html [2] http://www.reactos.org/pipermail/ros-diffs/2005-December/010731.html

July 2012 Meeting A Minutes
by Zachary Gorden 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

July 2012 Meeting A Minutes 2012-07-05 19:00 UTC dev.reactos.org, #meeting Proceedings =========== * Meeting started at 19:16 UTC by Aleksey Bragin. * Point 0: CD/Product Store * Point 1: Update/Team Plan * Point 2: Website Update * Point 3: Internet Declaration Due to scheduling constraints by some participants, the question of a team store and sale of ReactOS CDs was moved to be the first topic. * Point 0 Ziliang Guo presented the question of CD sales and merchendise sales in general. Amine Khaldi updated the team on the work he and others have done to get storefronts up and going. The primary concern was a lack of decent designs for the stores. Ziliang was tasked with contacting graphic artists he knows in the community to see if this can be remedied. The decision of what to do with the promo CDs was left to Ziliang as well. * Point 1 Aleksey Bragin stated that he intended to help with Jira integration with the new site, which is necessary as a replacement for bugzilla. He also hopes to help with making the build environment more user friendly. Olaf Siejka reported on a variety of regressions in freeldr and the win32 subsystem that he wants fixed as they are blocking further development and testing. Other developers asked for specific reports to be assigned to them and reviewed whether they thought they knew the cause of regressions. Collaboration with the UniATA developer was also discussed, with reports that upstream patches have been accepted and suggestions on further work that can be done. * Point 2 Danny Gotte was not present so this point was skipped. * Point 3 Pierre Schweitzer presented the Internet Declaration (http://www.internetdeclaration.org/freedom), a statement of beliefs drafted by various groups that wish the internet to remain free of censorship and ensure user privacy. Many other organizations have signed onto it and Pierre asked whether the ReactOS Foundation should also do so. This was put to a vote and passed with overwhelming support. * Other Decisions Ziliang requested that all developers be added onto the public relations mailing list. This was approved. Meeting was closed at 20:38 by Aleksey Bragin Minutes were prepared by Ziliang Guo

ReactOS on ARM, working on the iPhone
by Richardo Stallmanu 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

Hello everyone! I just got freeldr working properly (sort of) on the iPhone 4! Currently, I use Apple's iBSS (first stage DFU bootloader), with the go command patched to always branch to 0x41000000. 0x41000000 contains the actual LLB, which is relocated to 0x42000000. The LLB will initialize the ReactOS loader console and ARM loader block, which is sent to FreeLoader, just like on Omap3/Zoom2MDK and Versatile/PB. Time to get ramdisks working. :) http://goput.it/uc5.jpg <- There's your picture. -- winocm

Meeting Thursday 7/5/2012
by Zachary Gorden 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Barring any last minute hiccups, we expect to have a meeting this Thursday. I am sending out this email because we have a PR topic we need to discuss and I would like as many devs present as possible, and considering Aleksey is likely asleep by now, I felt we needed this out before "tomorrow" to give people enough heads up. Aleksey can make a more formal announcement with other agenda points if he has them. Z
