Haikuware Donates $10,000 to Haiku!!!
That's right, you read that right. And no, today is not April 1st. Haikuware has donated Ten-Thousand Dollars to Haiku, Inc.
Haiku, Inc. gratefully values each and every dollar that is is donated. A contribution of this magnitude, well, it simply is astounding. In other words, thank you once again, Haikuware!
Package Management: Bits and Pieces
Time does fly. It has already been two weeks since my previous blog post, so I guess an update is in order. The support for shine-through directories and the package links has been implemented as planned and works nicely as far as I have tested them. Other than that I've worked on a few odds and ends.
The time is now: Michael Lotz on a long term contract.
Haiku, Inc. is ecstatic to announce Michael Lotz (AKA "mmlr") on a 6 month contract developing Haiku!! There is the intention to renew this contract for another 6 months, making Michael to be the first person to be paid to work on Haiku for an entire year and you can make that a reality!
The goal of his contract would be to work on anything and everything to bring Haiku closer to its first production quality release, better known as "R1". The scope, variety and quality of code that Michael has produced over the past six years and even more recently, gives Haiku, Inc. the fullest confidence in his ability to succeed in every task that he works on. Simply put, Michael gets the job done and done right.
Package Management: System in a Package
After a week of working on the package management support as per my contract with Haiku, Inc., I have reached my first milestone: The base system is packaged... and it boots again. Here's a short account of what I have been doing exactly and what I'm up to next.
Haiku Release 1 Alpha 3
The Haiku Project is excited to announce the availability of our third official alpha release. A year and a month have passed since the Alpha 2 and the Haiku Project has been busy. The main purpose of this release is to provide interested third party developers with a stable version for testing and development. To aid with that, Haiku includes a rich set of development tools.
Haiku, Inc. accepts a second development contract in 2011!
On the Haiku, Inc. mailing list, Ingo Weinhold proposed a development contract. You may know Ingo better by his commit id "bonefish", as he recently merged his POSIX signals development branch back into trunk as r42116. His proposal is for 160 hours relating to furthering package management with a €2,000 EUR payout. That is roughly a meager $18 USD per hour!
FreeLists issues
As many have likely noticed, our trusty mailing lists hosted on freelists.org are currently down.
It seems freelists.org is having some kind of critical DNS issue which hasn't yet been resolved. We have been unable to find out much info beyond that. If anyone has more details, please feel free to mention it in the comments.
However, since Haiku has a *lot* of mailing lists on freelists.org, this does drastically impact development and community discussion, we may have to relocate our mailing lists to another service if the problem doesn't get resolved soon.
We will be sure to let everyone know here if/when that occurs.
Thanks for you patience!
Update: The FreeLists server is up again and delayed mails are being delivered.

Accepted Students
For this year's Google Summer of Code™ program, we at Haiku have been allocated eight students! In 2011, 417 mentoring organizations applied and 3731 students submitted 5474 proposals. Haiku is proud to be one of the 175 accepted mentoring organizations, with 35 submitted proposals and 8 accepted students.
Over the years, Haiku's goals for Google Summer of Code have evolved. Originally the ability to evaluate the students' capabilities was lacking and the attention was simply on choosing projects that filled a need. Now, the emphasis is placed on choosing the best students, as they are more important than their short term code contributions. During the application process, those students instilled a sense of hope and confidence in Haiku's mentors that they will mature into full project contributors. In other words, this is our opportunity to grow and refine young, intelligent, and highly motivated students into people who will continue to develop Haiku in the years to come.

Switch to XEmacs and fish
On this first of April, the main Haiku developers wish to announce an important change that will likely increase user friendliness of the overall Haiku experience. We are a bit late to report the news due to the excitement and the required planification work, but we hope everyone will enjoy the move.

Haiku Trademark Registration - Achievement Unlocked!
Over the last year or two, Haiku, Inc. has been seeking to cleanup the Haiku trademark usage. The official registration of the logo was a major part of that process.There are several benefits of having Federal trademark registration, which include fortifying the protection of the mark and entitling additional methods of resolving trademark infringers. As R1 continually draws nearer, having this additional recognition and protection is a good thing.
Haiku, Inc. provides a page describing the trademarks and their proper usage.
