@thread

just wanted to update everyone on a few things.... the devcon has progressed nicely with several developers here. we've had the opportunity to play around with a bunch of stuff, including the source code to the original 'juggler' demo from the early days of the amiga launch (see here). jaime krueger, mark ritter, steve solie, hans de ruiter have been presenting, and there's plenty to come once the show starts tonight.

bill bosari, a.k.a, tekmage, is arriving later today, and should have a good streaming solution for those who have been unable to attend. and both A-EON and hyperion are presenting tomorrow morning with news, so be sure to tune in. steven solie has graciously offered to do a Q&A with amiga.org members after the show for those interested. we'll do that in a separate thread next week.

and lastly, a big thanks to goody and trevor for all of the booze so far. many a devcon attendee has had at least one headache since wednesday. well done! :)

Sounds fun.
It should be a very interesting year for AmiWest.
Looking forward to the video coverage as (once again) I can't make it there.
Oh well, there is always next year, after all, for a 'dead' platform things seem pretty lively, no doubt there will be an AmiWest 2018 (barring a natural disaster or any other act of God, God forbid).
Hoping all attending (including a few of my friends) have a good time.

This might not make it into the video coverage, but Paul "Acill" Rezendes will be demoing MorphOS 3.10 on his X5000 at a table rented be David "AmigaDave" Morris today and tomorrow.

Just thought I'd post a notice of this for anyone interested.

Eh, that wasn't TOO bad.
Nice details, like explain the extra memory shown being used by 'NoviaOS', and the new video drivers supporting the Radeon RX series.

I should be doing a quick demo during the Sunday demo slots of MorphOS 3.10 on the x5000. Stay tuned. If got it setup and stable now after getting a new video card.


Sounds like they're planning on you doing it tonight (Saturday), Paul.
Good luck.

If they have time tonight I can do it, but for sure tomorrow if not. I was having video card issues and got a new one this afternoon.


Another R5 230? You have really been adjusting on the fly.

Hey, Jamie's presentation is getting close to its conclusion, make sure they can find you, Bill seems to be having trouble locating you.

"Dickinson points out that a X5000 running MorphOS 3.10 is present at the show."

Yeah, Trevor DID do that, didn't he? :rtfm:

Actually, Aeon has been fairly supportive of that OS, considering their heavy involvement in OS4, Trevor has always been good about that.

Then again, OS4, MorphOS, Linux...whatever a user wants to run that might sell a system...

And the Linux distros that have been promulgated are actually pretty cool too.

Would have been nice to see a presentation based on those.

So the video switch didn't seem to like my hardware, didn't want to deal with any longer and just did a fast demo showing it's not vaporware and Morphos does run great in the x5000. The one on one demos on my table went great at least.


No big deal. Everyone that didn't go will just have to wait until the release (or attend Amiga 32, IF there is a demo there).
