FOSDEM booth/devroom sharing
by François Revol 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

(sent to AROS (please forward, I'm not on the dev list), ReactOS, Syllable, CCed to Haiku) Hello, I'm a Haiku developer, <http://haiku-os.org> and I would like to propose sharing a devroom, eventually a booth at FOSDEM with some other FOSS OS projects. I sent to the mailing lists as I couldn't identify a specific contact, and I don't know how much centralized each project is. Last year we had our own booth at FOSDEM (we it shared with an ERP software), I really enjoyed the event, and would like to also get a devroom this year. But I'm not sure we will have enough people to animate it all the time (currently 3 or 4), plus we'd still have a stand to look after. http://www.haiku-os.org/blog/mmu_man/2008-02-25/hello_from_fosdem I know we shared a booth at last LinuxWorld with ReactOS and I heard it was interesting: http://www.haiku-os.org/blog/umccullough/2008-08-06/day_1_at_linuxworld_200… http://www.haiku-os.org/blog/umccullough/2008-08-07/day_2_at_linuxworld_200… As the deadline for booth and devroom application approaches (it's before 22 nov.), I was thinking about sharing a devroom that could be called "alternative OSes", "grep -v GNU/Linux" or alike, with other projects. This way we could all get a devroom with fewer people to man it. As for our project, we could have talks and hacking sessions on many subjects, from architecture and design to installation, and specific things like the using the FreePascal port, porting applications, using replicants (like NetSurf). We could also have common talks, about the platforms we support, our design and goals. And if needed we could probably also share a booth with another project I suppose, last year we shared with a totally different software. I'll be mailing a booth and devroom request tomorrow precising it, before it's too late. François.

reactos and accessibility
by Simone Dal Maso 08 Aug '08

08 Aug '08

Hi, this is my first message and I know reactos only about 30 minutes ago! Anyway, it looks very intersting. I'm visual impaired and I'd like to know if there is support for standard acessibility option like MSAA or similar, in order to run a screen reader. Well, reactos should support sound, does it? I know this is a strange question, anyway I'm quite interested to run a windows screen reader on this operative system. There is an opensource screen reader called NVDA www.nvda-project.org Anyway, this weekend I'll download the live cd and make some tests! Thanks in advance. -- Simone Dal Maso.

ReactOS and accessibility
by Sebastian Dellit 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hello ReactOS readers, thank for the new OS. :-) I'm Sebastian from Germany and 26 years old. I'm blind and using a braille display and speech. Is there a planed feature to make ReactOS accessible for blind peoples? ReactOS is compatible with Windows NT software and drivers? I want test ReactOS with NVDA - a open source Screenreader for Windows. A accessible installer (e. g. the Debian installer with brltty) will be fantastic. I want test the Live CD with NVDA ... -- Best regards Sebastian ICQ: 264706583 | MSM: sebo(a)blinzeln.de | Skype: sebo_de | Yahoo: de_sebo E-Mail: sebo(a)blinzeln.de | Web: www.blindzeln.de

Grievance
by James Tabor 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Grievance: Cease and Desist Request: Standard Resolution Procedure: 1) The Project Coordinator Should attempt to make decisions according to the consensus of the Project Members. Mr. Bragin is making procedural changes with out the full consensus of all Project Members. 2) The Repository Coordinator Should make decisions which are fair and reasonable, and preferably consistent with the consensus of the Project Members. Due to the unfilled Repository Coordinator position, Mr. Bragin has assumed full control of that position and making decisions with out the full consensus of all Project Members. 3) General rules: a) Violation of first rule: Project Coordinator issued change orders, Project Members began working on the changes. These changes are against the general consensus among the Project Members. Reference: http://www.reactos.org/archives/public/ros-dev/2008-June/010394.html b) Violation of second rule: Project Coordinator banned Project Member with out the ability to rejoin the Project at any time. c) Violation of third rule: Project Coordinator assumed full control of Repository Coordinator position and used that position to remove access to a Project Member. Adhering to: Standard Resolution Procedure: The procedure: The procedure begins when a draft General Resolution is announced on a public Project mailing list. Which no other rule can apply, I hereby request a Cease and Desist until this Grievance is heard by all Project Members. Project Members have a contractual agreement and must abide by it. PS: This is a very serious mater and not at all a joke. If this project has any merit, it needs to resolve these issues in the open.

rbuild related stuff
by Marc Piulachs 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hi All, I haven't been contributing much code to the reactos C++ build engine (RBUILD) lately but I have been improving my own C# implementation of it. Since it's truly OOP and well designed adding and testing new features is easier than with our buggy and messy rbuild. I use my C# implementation as a playground. My intention is to slowly extend rbuild to turn it in to a build and configuration engine (not only generate the makefile but also the registry and setup files depending on the modules being included).My build engine partly does it so I wanted to show some of the advantages and new features I will be adding to RBUILD in the following months. Some of them are already implemented on my rbuild branch (waiting for Colin to help me merging it back to trunk) while others are still to be coded. Interesting things to see: - We have arround 800 modules (including tests) - Diferent Bootable ISO images with diferent modules and default settings are being build from the same unmodified codebase. see http://www.marcpiulachs.com/reactos/ - Updated reports : http://www.marcpiulachs.com/reactos/core/default.htm - Automatic dependecy tracker reports .See for example : http://www.marcpiulachs.com/reactos/core/ntoskrnl.htm - My testing reveals that the minium amount of modules required to produce a bootable ReactOS ISO is currently about 190. see : http://www.marcpiulachs.com/reactos/core/platform.htm. I have been unable to boot with less modules , by tweaking the registry it can probably be reduced even more. - Even our OS is quite modular we make alot of bad assumptions in our code. (We are not microsoft , we don't have to package our OS in a determinate manner due to obscure marketing reasons. some day reactos should be able to run on a standard pc , on a ARM based device with 64Mb of ram or as headless network router with no GUI at all so don't assume notepad or application XYZ to be present unless it's a *core* component) - All Iso images are created with an unmodifed code base except for two bugs I fixed in syssetup and setupapi - Our modules are not very configurable, we should use more defines to turn on and off not desired code at build time. (see linux kernel and xconfig) I will share more information about how these images are being generated in case anyone is interested and like always, I'm open to your ideas and constructive comments! Regards, Marc

trouble with live CD
by Joe Noel 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

am trying to install react-os on a AMD 64 athlon laptop running windows XP so my system must have NTFS on it, but REACT-OS starts Ok and then sends this report [unable to verify an NTFS file system] could someone please help me ? I tried to log on to ros-general but in the place where I am supposed to type in a certain number all I get is a large dark area with no specific numbers, the log in gets rejected. I am too dumb to Linux but I sure like the REACT-OS idea. Than you for any help you can give me.
