MorphOS Developer Connection hits 400 Registered Developers!
Developers range from over 50 countries.
MDC hit 400 today. Congratulations to all of you. The Connection has been a progressively useful tool to all those involved because you contribute and work together to advance the operating system and the platform. Also, special congratulations to the Core MorphOS Development Team and especially to Ralph Schmidt. :-D We salute you!
Thanks also to Felix Schwarz who created the site and moderates it. Felix is working on MDC2 which will be based on Callisto and is coming!
MorphOS is destined to be at a computer near you soon!
Great work!
R&B

MorphOS Developer Connection hits 400 Registered Developers! : Comment 45 of 69 | ANN.lu |

No, not skewed. Just skeptical of what good this lawsuit will bring. Yeah, Genesi (bPlan?) had a contract for AmigaDE on the Pegasos back when the Pegasos was an AmigaOne and back when the AmigaDE was supposed to be a standalone Digital Environment. Something happened where bPlan couldn't agree to the conditions that the Pegasos had to meet to be an AmigaOne (ROM dongle and license fees), so it's not an AmigaOne.
A few years later, the AmigaDE still isn't what it was promised to be, and the Pegasos still isn't an AmigaOne. Yeah, Amiga didn't fulfill their side of the contract for having AmigaDE running on Pegasos, but bPlan/Genesi didn't fullfill their side of the contract regarding license fees and the ROM dongle.
The original contract was to have the AmigaDE environment running on bPlan made AmigaOne spec hardware, not on MorphOS, at least that's what my assumptions are based on the original goals for the Amiverse.
YES, AmigaInc failed to deliver AmigaDE on the Pegasos.
BUT BPlan failed to deliver a zico spec machine and they couldn't agree with AmigaInc on licensing.
I haven't seen the contracts, only going by what I've seen on the net over the past few years. I have a feeling that there are a few outs that any decent lawyer for Amiga could find wrt bPlan/Genesi not holding up their side of the deal. Amiga don't have access to any decent lawyers and have a small problem with making court dates and honestly in court, at least according to guys like Rich.
So when these lawsuits eventually come to a close, and Amiga is forced into folding, hopefully those hardworking folks at Hyperion and Eyetech don't get screwed. |
