Genesi has begun discussions with REBOL to integrate portions of REBOL into a free developer package for the MorphOS Developer Connection - or maybe even a full REBOL package for a "Pegasos SDK" covering all supported operating systems on Genesi's hardware. At MorphOS-News.de Genesi invites everyone to a brainstorming about interest in and advantages of REBOL's integration into MorphOS.
MorphOS-News.de reports:
"Genesi has begun discussions with REBOL to integrate portions of REBOL into a free developer package for the MorphOS Developer Connection. Genesi would pay REBOL a license fee for such a package and may bundle REBOL with the MorphOS SDK. The Corporate REBOL site can be found here.
All interested in such an arrangement, please express your interest here on this thread. Please be specific about your interest and the advantages you can see in the integration of REBOL into the next generation of MorphOS."

I can't agree. Genesi thus far have followed through on pretty much everything they announced and aren't affraid to bankroll something they think will further their platform. As Gary_C stated reaching the current userbase is easy, but as any serious company would do they are trying to reach new customers. Gauging interest in something like this IMHO is a good idea. If they see they are able to reach potential new customers then it makes this a good investment. If they get a lukewarm to cold reception then why bother?
Maybe you weren't trying to troll but talking like "little 600 userbase" is inflamatory in the context you wrote it in. Genesi has been very open about their sales figures. I honestly think it is unfair to use that as a tool against them. Their competition has not been open so we can only speculate, but that is another story.
BTW: You really don't think that OS4 will sell more than a few thousand in it's first release do you? Don't get me wrong I wish Hyperion well, and hope to one day give it a try on my Pegasos. However after all this time has passed I don't see there being more than 2000 sales on initial launch. IMO(and only my opinion) the Pegasos II sales by then will make the MOS userbase the same or larger than the OS4 userbase. Once again my opinion, don't take as a bash of one party or another. My opinion also doesn not reflect that of my employer, etc. |
