[GSOC] Student Application Form (NTFS RW)
by Vlad Kudoyar 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hello My name is Vlad Kudoyar and I'm a 3rd course student in Donetsk National Technical Univercity (Ukraine). My speciality is Computer Engineering. Languages: Russian, English (I can easily read texts but write with Google Translate :) ). Timezone: UTC +03:00. IRC Nickname: Vlad8161. I will be able to spend almost all of my summer working on this project. I have bodybuilding trainings 3 times a week, but they don't take too much time. In ROS project I want to work on NTFS driver. I think I can cope with implementing RW features. General milestones: 1. Implementing features to modify MFT records' attributes 2. Implementing create/delete MFT records functionality 3. Implementing journaling I realize that this plan is easy to write but hard to implement but it is another goot reason to try hard. I had filesystem course in my university so I can imagine what I have to work with. I know basic NTFS concepts and structure of this file system, but I have too little experience with driver development. I hope mentors will help me in this field.

ReactOS kernel driver
by Mohammad Samian Yusuf 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

Hi everyone I was wondering, developing kernel drivers for reactOS, does it have any templates to follow up, or how does the driver development work for reactOS, I am am trying to understand if I am to develop a kernel driver, should I be building it against a windows version,which can be ported to reactOS later through some changes?? Any advices would be appreciated With Care Samian Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone on the Fido network.

GSoC 2016 interest on RAPPS and GUI installer
by Niebieski Poganiac 19 Mar '16

19 Mar '16

Hello everyone. I'm Niebieski from freenode. I like Free Software and thus believe that a free software OS that is binary compatible with Windows will be huge contribution to the computing world. When I saw ReactOS on the orgs list in GSoC I totally considered checking the possibility of working with you guys. I'm interested on RAPPS and the GUI installer. Why ? It's clear that it's easy to install Windows because of the GUI installer, is it the easiest OS installer ever ? If you insert a bootable Windows media and kept pressing ENTER, you will probably end up with an installed system. So I think the GUI installer is a big step into ease of use. For RAPPS, it's essential utility. Lets you install apps without searching their names one by one on a search engine. or even give me a script that installs my favourite tools ? It's also a good way to discover new good software, specially if it's GPL software. Note that I'm talking about end-user point of view. I've seen the document made by Amine Khaldi about RAPPS. I've tried to get familiar with the WIN32 API a couple of years ago. Why ? because I like low level GUI stuff and then tried out GTK and Qt when I used Linux. I found out about Charles Petzold's book. I like C that's why I liked WIN32 API at first. The latest code I wrote was mainly academic assignments, A Caesar cipher implementation and a multi-threaded sorting program using pthread library. Note that I didn't develop something serious using WIN32 API I just read some tutorials but didn't build something. I know handles, WinMain and these basic stuff. so honestly I don't have any 'real' development experience. but I've tried to contribute to several open source orgs. I'm pursuing my bachelor degree in computer engineering and going to submit my senior project implementation during May/June. I might register for summer courses. I would like to have your honest opinions, do you think I should drop it ? or continue and try to find how it's going to be done technically ? and submit a proposal ? I've seen that some people are already interested on RAPPS and doing good job. Thank you guys for the work on ReactOS and the time spent on helping GSoC students. I really appreciate it and hope you the best.

Fwd: [Supertuxkart-devel] Get STK running into ReactOS
by Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo 19 Mar '16

This is the STK main developer answer... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: M Gagnon <auria.mg(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 10:54 PM Subject: Re: [Supertuxkart-devel] Get STK running into ReactOS To: supertuxkart-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Hi, we only use "supported" for systems where a regular team member frequently tests and ensures the game works correctly. I'm afraid no one in the core team uses ReactOS so we cannot mark it as officially supported.

hello to all, Yes, Ged, this was sent to STK mailing list. I just CC`ed ReactOS so that you know my movement. Hello Deve, no, this is not an issue message. I just wondered if you could put ReactOS as a supported operating system, along with Windows XP. That would bring visibility to ReactOS, imo.

Get STK running into ReactOS
by Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Hello, STK users and devs, First of all, i´m new to this mailing list, so i hope not to disturb it... I´m a fan of SuperTuxKart both in Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows. And i´m also a fan and user of the new operating system Reactos. http://www.reactos.org Yes, i do love open source. I hae seen in your homepage that you bring binaries for Windows XP. You all know XP ended support long ago. And here is where ReactOS comes in place. ReactOS aims to clone Windows 2003 behavior (and, as you know, 2k3 and XP are quite similar). So my request is simple. I think it would be asesome if your game runs in this OS. And if not, its a bug that ReactOS devs have to fix. What would help development too. What do u think? is it worth to give STK a try into ReactOS? what about putting this OS as a supported one, along with XP? Thanks in advance for your attention.
