Jumpstart AROS devlopment

[dammy]

The best way, IMO, is to talk to old Amiga users.  Couple times a month, I'll be chatting in IRC on a non-Amiga related channel to find someone who use to own an Amiga.  They are quiet suprised to find out about AROS even exists and even more suprised it runs on x86.  If you can't code/documenation, or support TeamAROS, you can still burn a couple of AROS CDs and hand them out.  C= produced 7 million Amigas, there are quiet a few of those former Amgia owners who would love to know about AROS.  Few of those maybe old coders.

I do know devlopers but they just aren't interested in devloping for AROS, the bums.

We really do need to look outside the current community for more developers.  I wonder if there are any Amiga communities in EuroAsia or Central America that may have a few devs that are not aware of AROS or the bounties?

@ Glorix

If your interested, I would suggest you would join the AROS-DEV ML and or join the devs in IRC chat, irc.freenode.org in #aros channel.  I'm sure they can use any time you have to donate.

I don't think AROS will go anywhere until it gets 68k
compatability on th x86 platform.

For me, AROS' UAE is just fine enough for running the old Amiga Apps.  YMMV.

Who made your avatar? It looks cool!

Why Meers of course. He did a hell of a good job on it. =)
