Trademark filing for the name ReactOS and Logo
by Steven Edwards 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

Hi All, I am going to be meeting with my laywer on friday to file the paperwork for trademark name ReactOS and the logo in the state of South Carolina. The filing cost is going to be $500 for the state filing and I assume the same or about for the federal. I have to use another lawyer for the federal filing. I am not soliciting donations but if you would like to contribute to the cause I have setup a new paypal account for reactos.foundation(a)gmail.com Thanks Steven __________________________________ Discover Yahoo!

RE: [ros-svn] [chorns] 15808: Generate proxy makefiles in output tree.
by Casper Hornstrup 05 Jun '05

05 Jun '05

This avoids a problem with svn update where a directory is moved/renamed or deleted. To get the old behaviour back set ROS_RBUILDFLAGS=-ps and do a 'make depends'.

To: ros-dev(a)reactos.com Message-ID: <d7sj6q$b7$1(a)sea.gmane.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 We're going to follow Windows arch, becouse Windows isn't really bad OS, It only often hangs up. Making HostiliX we want to do new OS that will be able to run Windows Applications and drivers. Why? There's a lot of great programs and I think the most drivers for this OS (eg. there's no drovers for Canon i560 pronter for Linux). All hardware manufacturers do drivers for Windows, so we want to HostiliX be able to support them. Why we don't help ReactOS to make it better? We hate your policy. You want to do Windows NT clone, so must you do for. example explorer? Cannot you do any other application? A few days ago I asked on ReactOS forum why your Task Manager looks buggy? e7 answered me: "Because ReactOS is still a alpha version (0.3svn), and the developers have other things todo (extend API, let applications and drivers work...)" It's your policy, that I don't understand. Why are you doing new think incompletelly? You want to do all at the same time! But we want to do less than you but better. We'll not help you, becouse we don't want to repair your bugs(eg. taskmgr). Why taskmgr is buggy? Becouse someone who developed it stoped working on it and I think start working on somethink else. I personally don't do all system ingredients. I do only one thing. ------------------------------------------------ O My GOD! does this guy know what he is saying? He does not make sense to me and i am BOTH, NOT A DEVELOPER AND NOT ENGLISH NATIVE. He calls himself a programmer (for earning a live, as job) but he says VERY weird things about programming. I myself have writen some (bad) Delphi aplications, so maybe i can say i have a job as programmer even if i have never been payed :). My word... and I AM NOT A DEVELOPER, let this guy be, he will soon realize the OS is not mature enough for his goals, and he will leave. But demmand from this guy that he fullfill the copyright of all the code. Mr Rafal Kupiec have the legal obligation to post the source code of all the GPL matterials he is using, and avoid the inclusion of third parties copyrighted code (ie Microsoft), he live in the EU, and the EU dont joke about copyright infringment, so i hope this guy makes himself and us a favor being scrupulous to his legal obligations.

Fwd: 'Portable ROS'
by Jason Filby 04 Jun '05

04 Jun '05

Hi all See the mail below; I'll forward any comments on. Personally I think the best solution would be able to have ROS identify drives connected via USB and install directly onto such drives. Cheers Jason ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Konrad Strachan <treeonthemountainside(a)gawab.com> Date: Jun 4, 2005 2:28 PM Subject: 'Portable ROS' To: jason.filby(a)gmail.com Dear Jason Filby, I have been experimenting for a while with putting whole operating systems of removable drives for the purpose of booting a portable OS and interface anywhere. I have been able to do this with ReactOS, but it is much harder. The reason is the manner in which ROS distributions are released. Unless 0.3.0 differs from the last few releases, all that will be released is a CD iso image to install onto a hard drive and Qemu emulation image. Whilst these would suit most of the people who are interested in playing with ROS, it makes it very difficult to make a portable version. I initially experimented with taking the boot loader from the install CD and using the emulation image (and various other permutations..) , but I have not been able to make it work. The only way I have been able to make a working portable image is through actually burning the iso image and installing ROS onto an old hard drive, taking that image including the boot sector, and writing it to a USB drive. This worked but it was a very roundabout way of doing it. Furthermore, it is not a case of grafting the new distribution onto the boot loader I have already taken from the previous installation due to various changed in the boot loading code with the release of 0.2.6. What I am asking, is that you make available the boot loader from the installed version of the software with each release in an image file. I think a lot more people would be drawn to ROS if it could be used in this manner. Please let me know what you think and keep up the excellent work :p Warm Regards Konrad Strachan. http://treeonthemountainside.cjb.net http://www.users.totalise.co.uk/~konr/bootlinux.html

Re: [ros-dev][OT] Mail format (was: PPC arch.?)
by Quandary 04 Jun '05

04 Jun '05

Irony is a bitter mistress. Vim line-wrapped me at 72 characters, whereas Yahoo wraps at 54. I very recently started to use sendymail, which pipes my text through the Yahoo web interface, and quite obviously doesn't run things through fmt before-hand -- hence the nasty line filling. As such, I've decided to practice what I preach, and reformat my letter. I wish I could say it was intentional (the end result was just too perfect in illustrating the point), but it was an honest mistake.

Fwd: [ros-web] Re: Interface Team

I just noticed that this was sent to ros-web only. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mikko Tikkanen <mikko.tikkanen(a)gmail.com> Date: May 16, 2005 10:48 PM Subject: [ros-web] Re: Interface Team To: ros-web(a)reactos.com Greetings. I am the other half of Jason's "list", the half that (usually) responds to the name Mikko. Something about me: I've seen 25 summers, so far. (a.k.a I'm 25-years old ;) This summer would be my 26th. Usually my interests include badminton, rollerskating, bandy, gentle loving of my car (My one and only honey at the time. Hey, at least she's cheaper than a woman ;), movies, programming, reading (Usually different articles of various topics. Specially anything regarding of science.) and some sort of graphics. I've studied something that goes like this: Special-vocational degree, developing network solutions. (Level of studies ranging from quite basic to university level) Basically it includes designing and developing specified tools that utilize network in some way. Tools used included C/C++, Java/JavaScript, PHP. Though I have worked with VisualBasic, ASP, TCL and some other languages. Nowdays I mostly work basically with PHP and SQL of some sort. (Usually with MySQL, Postgre or Oracle) +xhtml & css Oh, and of course there is High school. Also, at the fall I'm hoping to get to this school which teaches interactivity designing. Basically everything ranging from physical UI design to game-, concept- or web design. However, my aim would to specialize in UI design. (And, of course, ultimately have my own company. 8) I've already cleared my way to last ~30 persons, now it's 30% change of getting in. 26th day are final exams and interviews for the school and after that it's a months wait and results should be here. Keep your thumbs up! :) Next to UI related stuff. I've worked, in some way or another, with www-applications for about 6-8 years. Also I like to educate myself so I've taken some courses and trainings on it. Also, I was in charge of design, production and maintaining of information gathering and analysis tools at Inmet Mining, Pyhäsalmi mine Oy. Europe's deepest metal ore mine and most technologically advanced mine in the world. Some of those tools are used by miners who didn't have very much experience with computers. Hence they needed to be easy to use yet able to utilize enough power, for experienced user, to dig out every last piece of information needed, regarding of i.e. certain ore loading machine. At my current job (head of sales, at paper. usually I lots of other things too) I've created complete network-based software for the shop's check-out. It also includes real time accounting for store, billing and web-shop. Of course all this is wrapped to single user interface. Which, sadly, has as good UI as I would like but there are other matters which keep me busy from re-creating the whole system. I've always been interested of UI design and have read pretty much everything I've come across with. Of course, depending of the source. ;) When designing something I've always tried position myself as the regular user and tried to forget all the "invisible" little helpers that I am used to, since regular user usually doesn't have a clue. Moms and dads actually make pretty good user test subjects as they don't use computers that much but know their way around. ;) I've also made initial design for a game called Notrium. Lately I've made some initial mockups for ROS. For software library: http://devnet.dnsalias.net/guidesign/software_library_v2.jpg And for ROS start menu: http://devnet.dnsalias.net/guidesign/start_menu.jpg Hmm. This turned to another rant, it seems. -mikko _______________________________________________ Ros-web mailing list Ros-web(a)reactos.com http://reactos.com:8080/mailman/listinfo/ros-web
