Hi all
Indeed, Steven and myself are having a little debate on this issue.
This
is because I'm in the planning stages of setting up a for-profit
company
that would sell solutions around ReactOS and eventually look to hire
ReactOS developers fulltime. I feel that such redistribution of
ReactOS,
before its usable as a desktop OS, through this company would be an
excellent exersize in getting operations started - while contributing
the profits back in the same way: bounties for development.
Cheers
Jason

As a non-programmer, I'd be willing to donate towards bounties when that
structure is in place.
And have a machine all ready to test future releases on.
I'm really excited about, and will to support financially an Open Source
replacement for Windows NT/2k.
I think this will be a boon to the PC Community.
I hope that in the next year there will be available versions of ROS that
will boot to a desktop, and let us start having an OS to test and play with
more fully.
Great work so far!

Hi
I'm not at against the Non Profit accepting doncations. As for
business:
I think that the licensing terms of the GNU General Public License
are
enough to keep businesses in line. For one thing, if a business does
not
comply, they will be shunned by the developer community and receive
some
nasty press. The great thing is that you have several companies with
the
same core product. This means that they have to be sure to offer
superior service and keep up good relations with the community
instead
of resting on their Intellectual Property laurels.
Cheers
Jason

Ok this has got to be fix. I am sorry I introduced changes to msvcrt
that started requiring latest w32api. This has progressed waaaaaaay to
far. Casper if your still watching, sorry I didnt respond about your
import of the w32api. If you have time would you still do it?
They were supposed to have release w32api 2.5 by now.......
Thanks
Steven

Hello All,
I want to get everyones feedback on this before we move forward. I am
interested in setting up a donation system on ReactOS.com and .org to
fund bountys on parts of ReactOS that none of our developers are
interested in developing. I am thinking like network card drivers,
parts of TCP/IP, and the security sub-system. I want to move the idea
of the ReactOS Foundation forward and currently it looks like the only
way we are going to get any support comming in is with this sort of
system. I have some people helping me on grants and such but thats
going to take quite a while.
Here is how the system would work.
1. Donations on ReactOS.com of $5 or more recive a CD with "ReactOS
Preview" Version 0.2
2. Bugs are created in Bugzilla for parts of ReactOS that are nasty and
no-one wants to work on.
3. ReactOS project members vote on the bug and a bounty is issued for
like $250 to $500 US.
4. Once a developer submitted code to address the issue ?Vizzini?, ?Ge?
and ?Eric? and ????? would review and merge. A check would then be cut
to the lucky developer.
Please I want to hear your feedback and I am sorry for cross-posting to
all of the lists.
Thanks
Steven

Hello,
I know I should have posted these a long time ago but I still havent
been able to find all of the film from the 35MM camras. These are a few
shots we got of Ge and myself talking to Greg Haerr from Century
Software and Microwindows. Also a shot our photographer and her Tux
tattoo.

Thanks
Steven

I tried to build a clean surface yesterday and got an error...
../../include/wine/port.h:249: parse error before "pwrite"
Is this the error you're getting?
This morning before coming to work I commented out the #define for HAVE_SSIZE_T in <wine\config.h> and reactos now compiles passed that error but until this evening I wont know if the full surface builds.
I'm not sure if this is the "correct" fix but it looks like it might work.

Guys, on a clean build system (reinstalled windows not too long ago)
using mingw32 3.1.0 + gcc 3.3.1 and windows api 2.4 ReactOS does NOT
BUILD. How do i solve this? I've been unable to compile ROS for
several weeks, it just ends up in a parse error.
Once again, this is both a clean tree and a clean mingw installation.

In the interests of compatibility testing (torturing
poor ROS), (and
because I am easily amused) I made some screen grabs
of ROS running various
AUTORUN programs. Seems our GDI subsystem has some
problems with
transparency still-- Nomad Soul's autoplay should have
a transparent
background...
You can find the screenshots here:
http://68.102.245.12:88/ROS_Tortures/
Some of them were taken before I loaded up the VMware
SVGA driver, so bear
with me here.
