Steve Crietzman writes: The Open Amiga Foundation is about to be legally born. Open Amiga continue to work hard alongside AROS to develop a portable, free AmigaOS clone for a variety of hardware platforms and CPUs, and are currently in negotiations (which are going pretty well) with Gateway for access to the Amiga-related software patents. Other subjects covered include discussions with the Free Software Foundation's Richard Stallman, their continuing dialogue with Petro Tyschtschenko, and a request for Amiga developers to help by joining the AROS project.

Here's a better solution: Throw FFS away and use PFS instead.

Anything open source gets my vote.
FFS? Whatever.

No, no. Not FFS. If I had to name a single worst thing in AmigaOS, FFS would be it. PFS or SFS would be far better, or even something written from scratch. I don't think there's much hope for PFS going open source, though, as it's a commercial product.

Opensourcing FFS wouldn't harm Amiga at all...after all it can only get better :)
Somebody might be able to fix it to work better...Arrgg I hate that disk validating stuff... :P

In reply to Comment 9 (Kjetil Hvalstrand):
Please do! We're always looking for new volunteers.
AROS is coming along nicely, a lot of work is going into it, but it's still a "work in progress". The more developers that sign up, the quicker we can release the first complete version.
Please visit www.aros.org for details and for information on their mailing lists, and bookmark www.openamiga.org. Open Amiga's site will be going live on March 15th, and will include details of how people who support our work can help.
Best regards,
