Greetings,
I heard the unfortunate news about Google's decision regarding your
community's application for Google Summer of Code 2009. ReactOS was
one of the many interesting projects that I hoped to be accepted.
Do any of the people who were planning on being mentors have interest
in mentoring a student with Haiku in a joint project?
One project in mind, is mmu_man's usb webcam drivers. There is
intention for this driver to be developed in such a way that it
encourages developer collaboration between other OS's, such as AROS,
AmigaOS, MorphOS, and of course ReactOS + Haiku.
For multiple reasons, this would be very good for ReactOS, both in the
eyes of Google and in terms of furthering ReactOS's codebase. First
and foremost, your codebase would be receiving additional drivers,
which in my experience is always a good thing(tm). Your community
would receive additional positive exposure. Regarding Google, this
participation would display to them ReactOS's dedication to
participating in GSoC, through any available avenue. On top of that,
the notion of not merely porting a pre-existing driver, but actually
having developers from different OS's working with each other at the
same time to produce and enhance the driver is a wonderful achievement
that should be encouraged.
So, I encourage anyone who interested to reply by any means :)
I'm usually available online as mmadia on irc.freenode.net
Thank you.
Matt Madia
primary admin for Haiku
VBox guest additions do have issue with its graphic driver. It has been
reported. You should enable debug via virtual COM1, piped to your host
system. Without debug output, there is no real point in any more specific
ROS testing. Should you have any questions, please visit us on irc channel
