Upcoming Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit

by Colin Finck

Hi all, As announced, I'll be travelling to California this Thursday to attend the Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit from Friday to Sunday. I'll be using this opportunity to spread the word about ReactOS, our experiences with GSoC, and learning from other projects' experiences. I'm especially interested to hear how others are acquiring talented students and managing their list of task ideas over the year. Let's hope this will help us to get more than 1 student next year and efficiently collect a list of GSoC ideas continuously instead of preparing it shortly before the deadline ;) Is there anything else you want me to talk about during the summit? Cheers, Colin

Add InitializeProcThreadAttributeList function

by Biswapriyo Nath

I found that this function `InitializeProcThreadAttributeList()` is added with GetProcAddress but not with the real function. I can provide the real function from Windows 10. The function hasn't any imported function, just conatins some arithmatic operations. I don't know how to contribute and not familiar with ReactOS repo. So, I can only provide a c file.

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] 01/01: [SERVICES] Fix timeout when a service is stopped

by Pierre Schweitzer

Hey Eric, What's the purpose of that "Sleep(2000);"? Is it a debug leftover?

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] 01/01: [ADVAPI32][SERVICES] Add (dummy) password encryption/decryption functions to CreateServiceA/W and ChangeServiceConfigA/W in order to prepare to pass encrypted passwords to the service manager

by Pierre Schweitzer

Hi Eric, For security reason, when freeing your password buffers (see below), you shouldn't be using ZeroMemory() before free, but SecureZeroMemory() to zero the buffer. The first one can be optimized (and thus removed) by the compiler. The second cannot.

So "NO" means go on the other dev's nerves for a > ugly theme violating our and MS's copyrights? Why is an Win8-theme violating MS-copyright but - changing the color of WineMine to Microsofts WinMine - copying the XP explorer.exe 1:1, only the images on it are different - having a Look And Feel VERY similar to Win2000 - etc is all ok?

Win8 theme for ReactOS?

by theUser BL

A while ago I have asked in the forum, if the modified Lautus-theme of GreenteaOS could beintegrated in ReactOS https://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16788 Sadly the theme is called in GreenteaOS Lautus, too. Here the source of it https://github.com/GreenteaOS/Deprecated/tree/master/third-party/reactos/me… But it looks like Windows 8. Here a screenshot of the Greentea Windows 8 like theme on ReactOS. Choose one link. I have uploaded it multiple times on multiple places, because some picture-uploading-sides delete its files from time to time https://image.ibb.co/gTsPkU/Virtual_Box_React_OS_0_4_9_08_09_2018_16_22_18.… http://img4host.net/upload/081642005b93dfb8c233a.png https://img3.picload.org/image/dlpgdlow/virtualbox_reactos0.4.9_08_09_.png https://cdn3.imggmi.com/uploads/2018/9/8/e016c5a6842640ac5f7436ee2e9b04e7-f… https://i.imgur.com/mCUvsLy.png EmuandCo is against the integration of the Win8-theme in ReactOS. But he is the only ReactOS-developer in the ReactOS-forum. So I now also ask here, what the other developers thinking about it. Greetings theuserbl

Virtual consoles using ntvdm

by Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo

A crazy idea .. What about implementing some kind of virtual consoles, just like Linux? The point is, using ntvdm subsystem, we could allow only console (DOS) apps to run in there. And some kind of "you are running a console. Switch to desktop to run this app!" Message is anyone tried to run another stuff What do you think? A side effect could be, allow remote connections, etc ... :)
