Hi all!
Let me invite you to the monthly status meeting taking place on
Thursday, August 31, 19:00 UTC.
As always, you will get credentials for our private IRC server shortly
before the meeting.
Agenda proposals so far include:
- Short report from my side regarding the Hackfest
- Git/GitHub migration in September/October
- Finalizing the 0.4.6 release, possibly planning 0.4.7
Please post any additional agenda proposals here.
Also don't forget that we're in the final week of GSoC :)
Mentors, now that all code has been submitted, don't forget about
evaluating your students!
See you on Thursday!
Colin
1. Send a mail to the list unsubscribe address, which will be of the
form LISTNAME-leave@DOMAIN. The subject and body of this message will be
ignored, so it doesn't matter what you put there.
not sure if you found out this yet. Quick google for mailman, which seems
to be what is used :)

Hi all!
I've held a presentation at Hackfest today regarding Licensing Best
Practices, different positions about the GPL and its influence, and ways
to improve ReactOS' conformance with all involved licenses.
I think we should treat this subject even more seriously than others,
given that we are an Open-Source project trying to provide an
alternative to a proprietary product. Also licensing questions arise
from time to time, which is why we should collect some answers.
Please watch the video at https://youtu.be/OTVVz9VLisU or see the slides
at
https://svn.reactos.org/press-media/trunk/Events/2017%20-%20Hackfest/Licens…
Discussions are open now! :)
But if there are no objections, let's introduce SPDX license headers,
.ABOUT files, and a complete license list as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Colin
Hey Eric,
The Battery icon, Hotplug icon and Quick Launch toolbars are currently
developed as part of the Google Summer of Code "Taskbar Shell Extensions
for ReactOS" project.
Summer of Code ends next week, so you are welcome to join the Code
Review at https://code.reactos.org. I guess CR-122 will be shortly
updated with the latest changes there.
Let's try to not duplicate efforts here ;)
Best regards,
Colin
I have recently added ReactOS as a distribution into Wine Application
Compatibility database as ReactOS uses most of Wine components.
ReactOS-Windows incompatibilities can now be tracked like Wine-Windows
incompatibilies.
Why not Monero too?

Oggetto: [ros-dev] Ethereum for fundraiser
Ethereum is a decentralised cryptocurrency based on proof of work and
proof of stake consensus with Turing-complete scripting. Utilising
Ethereum for fundraiser will allow us to remove the middlemen from
raising funds and allow us to distribute them more directly. I want to
be first contract programmer for ReactOS ethereum account. Any kind of
release schemes may be developed. However, this will need detailed
discussion and official approval first.
Yours, faithfully

I would strongly suggest using one master repo. Multi-repo projects and
their brethren are a mess.

Hi all!
We're going to have the missed monthly status meeting for July tomorrow.
Time will be 19:00 UTC as always and you will get your credentials
shortly before the meeting.
Agenda proposals so far include:
- The 0.4.6 release
- The upcoming Hackfest
- Design of the RAPPS setup mode
Please post any additional agenda proposals here.
See you tomorrow!
Colin
Since we have RosBE, we can have multiple repositories without actually
binding them and download them on demand. Or we can make a build script for
every new small module that downloads (clones) repos it needs.

Hi all!
After David has successfully tested a first SVN -> Git conversion of our
repo, here comes the next challenge: Finding a way to preserve our current
modularization into reactos, rosapps, rostests and paving the way for even
more modularization.
My vision for the future is a small "core" repo that only contains our host
tools and SDK. We could also split off subprojects like fast486/ntvdm or
Paint into individual repos. Now that Microsoft has abandoned them under
Windows, they may individually attract developers who would never hack on
the entire ReactOS repo. Furthermore, 3rd party components could be
imported through their repo instead of copy-pasting their code without
history (as we do now).
Even if that vision is a distant goal, the technology for it is already
required for a reactos, rosapps, rostests modularization.
Isn't that a perfect scenario for Git submodules?
Not sure: I'm not aware that they support the concept of optional modules.
You could only check out the "core" repo with all defined submodules. This
would make it impossible to use "core" only to build Paint. There also seem
to be other drawbacks when using submodules: https://codingkilledthecat.wordpress.com/2012/04/28/why-your-company-shouldnt-use-git-submodules/
Alternatives like Git subtrees, Google Repo, and Gitslave exist, but there
is even less information about them. Furthermore, I think a good
integration into GUI tools like TortoiseGit is also a requirement for most
of us.
David and I have started to write down our findings:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ey1xdS_0GcG7p7ZgHZBh4A3V
Mq2uxyw5MpnUXbT8z6w/edit
Your input on this is very welcome!
I guess any migration to Git is blocked before we have a solution here.

Hello,
After recent changes in explorer, comctl32 and uxtheme the state of themes in reactos was improved a lot. I would like to ask your opinions about enabling themes in 3rd stage. It is also possible to have an option in 2nd stage to select if we want 3rd stage to have themes enabled. Do you think this should be enabled by default or not? All ideas are welcome. My intention is to complete it ASAP so that it can make in the release.
Thanks,
Giannis Adamopoulos
I'd vote for a page in 2nd stage.
If we would make it by default then only in the releases.

hi all,
honestly, i dont think theming is a crucial choose when installing. i would
not add that screen, at 2nd stage at least.
Maybe at 3rd, right after 1st run....

I've always been a big fan of seeing the Basic Lite theme being on by

We're missing the start menu implementation for this though.

Hi all!
With the Hackfest less than 3 weeks away, let me give you another status
update:
* It is important that you now add yourself to
https://reactos.org/wiki/ReactOS_Hackfest_2017/Lists or fix up your
information there.
Further E-Mails will only go to the people listed there.
* As many of us also attend FrOSCon on Saturday and Sunday (19-20), I'm
also going to book the loft for this night. There may be options closer
to FrOSCon, but I think not having to hastily check out early on
Saturday with the entire equipment outweighs the 1 hour trip between the
loft and FrOSCon.
* The Ideas list looks very promising. In order to make the most out of
the Hackfest, preparations should begin now. For example, I really want
the Git move to happen in October, so let's not hesitate with all
necessary source tree restructuring and testing.
There has been no meeting announced for tomorrow, so I'm unsure whether
we will have one. In case we do, let's handle any outstanding questions
tomorrow.
Cheers,
Colin
Hello, I am sanchaez (Alexander Shaposhnikov) - a GSoC student working on
RAPPS. I've found a set of useful wrappers for ATL on Github -
https://github.com/Amebis/atlex.
I have some questions:
1. It is GPLv3. Is it compatible with ROS license? Can I use them?
2. If I can, where to place it in the source folders?
P.S. I've rushed a little by committing it to my branch. "It lies in
reactos\sdk\include\reactos" for now.
Thanks in advance,
Alexander
Ethereum is a decentralised cryptocurrency based on proof of work and
proof of stake consensus with Turing-complete scripting. Utilising
Ethereum for fundraiser will allow us to remove the middlemen from
raising funds and allow us to distribute them more directly. I want to
be first contract programmer for ReactOS ethereum account. Any kind of
release schemes may be developed. However, this will need detailed
discussion and official approval first.
Yours, faithfully
