Hi all! Planning the ReactOS 0.5 release and establishing a new roadmap was one of the points on the agenda of yesterday's meeting. This is still an ongoing process. Please make up your minds about what a ReactOS 0.5 release must offer in your opinion and write it down to https://reactos.org/wiki/0.5.0 To get a realistic roadmap, it is important that we define a responsible person for each task. It should be the person having the most in-depth knowledge about the status of the affected ReactOS components. Don't worry, we won't put any pressure on you to complete the task soon. But we need someone who can give a detailed report about the current status. If nobody can be the responsible person for a certain task, having it for 0.5 is not realistic and it eventually needs to be removed from the roadmap. But that's for later! Let's first add all points we consider important until the end of the year. If you can already add yourself as the responsible person, even better! :) Cheers, Colin

Google Summer of Code 2019

by Colin Finck

Hi all! While there is still some time until the February 6, 2019 application deadline for projects, we should already begin planning our GSoC participation now! As today's meeting already has a long agenda, I delibereately didn't add GSoC to it. But I've already created https://reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2019 and https://reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2019_Ideas Please decide whether you want to be a GSoC org admin or mentor and add your ideas to the list or remove deprecated ones. My experience from the Mentor Summit tells me that proper planning and advertising can make a huge difference for our 2019 participation and will certainly get us more students :) Cheers, Colin

Re: [ros-dev] Status Meeting (November 2018)

by Can Tasan

While there's a discussion of 0.5 release plan, here are some candidate topics: * MM/CC work, to reduce BSoDs and enable further development * PNP work. vgal has done some work on both HAL and PNP to fix device issues. Also many Windows Server 2003 drivers are usable now. Progressing this and finally integrating into ReactOS is essential at some point. * Driver issues * System corruption after hard resets or BSoDs * Further Win32 work to get many programs usable (I can extensively test Word 2003 if there's help!) * Getting rid of old fastfat (and progressing NTFS further?) * Robust networking (adding WPA support, fixing bugs...) * Installer support for old programs and WoW16 (there's two resources: Win3mu is now open-source and otya128's winevdm) * Further DirectX work (or just syncs from Wine) and some video work to get more games playable? * Sound? * And other things you add or I forgot. Best regards, Can

Git/SVN Server migrated

by Colin Finck

Hi all! Another server has been migrated to new hardware and software today! I'm talking about our Git/SVN Server, which also serves BuildBot, Doxygen, download.reactos.org, etc. The anticipated and actual downtime has been so low again that I didn't even have to announce the migration in advance. Some remarks though: * If you had file server upload access to svn.reactos.org *and still need it*, please let me know and I can recreate your account. Have your SSH public key ready. Note that I plan to set up an easier and more official file sharing service for ReactOS soon. * For obvious reasons, the Mumble server at mumble.reactos.org has not been migrated and is now officially shut down. I'm looking forward to finally set up the Mattermost instance once all existing VMs have been migrated (5 done, 3 to go). * git.reactos.org is no longer accessible via the git:// protocol. If you have any URLs using that, please change them to https://. Cheers, Colin

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] 03/03: [OLE32] The CoDisconnectContext() stub added in 6a2f9673 (PR #1044) is actually Vista+. Caught by Thomas Faber.

by Pierre Schweitzer

I'm not sure I understand this commit, nor the PR that was merged before. This is a synced module, for a Vista+ export... What's the point of this? It would have been better to sync with Wine and have this patch upstream.
