Statement of belief: ** Clone vs Next Gen BeOS I think it's great that OBOS is re-implementing BeOS R5 as it's first step. It will give us a better understanding of what needs to be improved in OBOS 2.0. ** "Geeks" vs Business I refuse to label myself a "geek", but I'm very happy about OBOS being an engineering effort, first and foremost. To me it's not about "taking over the world", at least not at this point. It's about securing our own future. (personal computing as well as a solid platform for vertical(?) solutions such as TuneTracker) Request for change: ** Organization I've got an issue here that could easily be remedied. A few of the team-leaders are unknown to me. I can't connect their names to apps on BeBits, discussion on the original Be mailinglists, or nicks on BeShare. I'm sure they are skilled people, but it would be nice to get a better idea of who they are. Personal homepage links would be nice. Most of them have their SourceForge skills profiles set to private (the default, AFAIK), and as far as I could tell no one had used the diary feature. ** Newsletter Can someone please make the newsletter be an actual email newsletter? Like the original Be newsletter. For some reason I don't read it unless it's in my mailbox. /Jonas Sundstrom. ~ www.kirilla.com ~
