Hi all!
Our own Mattermost instance is finally live at https://chat.reactos.org!
Enjoy an infinitely searchable history, offline messages, native picture
support, push notifications, a seamless experience on web and mobile,
and more.
All privately hosted on our own infrastructure and usable with the same
ReactOS.org account you already have!
Time to say goodbye to workarounds like IRC bouncers or third-party
services :)
I believe this can really improve our communication and accelerate
development!
To make the migration as easy as possible, I have set up a bridge
between our Freenode IRC channels and Mattermost. User "RosBridge" will
transfer all messages from #reactos / #reactos-dev to Town Square /
Development and vice-versa. Let's see how long we're going to need that.
I hope you're all going to join the fun, so that we can already have the
next meeting in around 2 weeks on Mattermost!
Cheers,
Colin
Hi all!
Happy new year from my side! Hope you all had nice holidays and that
2019 will be a successful year for ReactOS :)
As always, the year begins with our Google Summer of Code application.
It is now time to update
https://reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2019 and
https://reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2019_Ideas as
applications begin next week (January 15). If we take this seriously and
don't forget to advertise, I'm sure that we'll get more students this year!
But first things first: Who is going to volunteer as mentors and
administrators?
I'm willing to take over one of the administrator roles again, but we
also need a second one.
I also suggest that we prepone the monthly meeting for January by a week
to Thursday, January 24.
This gives us some time for GSoC-related discussions until the final
application deadline (February 6).
Cheers,
Colin
