Internationally AROS
Thanks to Neil Cafferkey, Adam Chodorowsky, Daniel Holmen and Paolo Besser, aros.org has now its finnish and italian counterparts. Translations of this website are now available at these nice new addresses:
Finnish aros.org (http://www.aros.org/index.fi.php): www.aros.org/index.fi.php
Italian aros.org (http://www.aros.org/index.it.php): www.aros.org/index.it.php
Finnish translation is almost complete, while Italian one is still a work in progress. Aros.org does support german translation too, but only few pages are already available. If you wish to contribute localizations of our web pages, well... please apply to the development mailing list.
AROS means art
Hogne "M0ns00n" Titlestad has released Lunapaint v0.2 for i386/AROS. The app can save and open projects, make animations and export images. Initial stability issues in hosted AROS has been resolved, and Lunapaint works fine also on native. You can see screenshots here and read a nice interview on The Aros Show. Download it from the Archives!
Other news
Mathias Roslund has ported the famous Commodore 8-bit computers line emulator VICE to all Amiga platforms, AROS included. Please notice that the AROS version is still higly experimental. You may find it here.
Tomasz Wiszkowski has ported FryingPan and CoFEE to AROS. FryingPan is a CD/DVD burner software, while CoFEE is a CD/DVD copy program. They work partially on AROS due to lack of ATAPI and SCSI commands. In order to speed up their implementation, TeamAROS has started a new bounty.
Randy Vice and Oliver Adams have completely renewed TeamAROS website, with a more stylish graphics and a brand new service: Bounty Subscriptions. Now "you can support TeamAROS by a monthly subscription of $5 USD or $10 USD and that gives you a vote on TeamAROS-Benefactors ML on which bounty deserves that month's cash donation. This is a painless method since PayPal will deduct the money automatically each month. Set and forget, can't be made much easier than that.
Bernd Roesch and Georg Steger are fixing bugs and adding new feature to Zune, while other AROS developers are still working hard on other issues of the operating system.

Icing on the cake. What I like most about AROS is that new hardware for it is released pretty much daily. :-)

Personally - I long for the day when AROS will replace my Windoze & Linux distro (Ubuntu currently).
Keep up the good work guys and long live AROS.

You right T_Bone, but it seems like everytime I buy some new AROS hardware, they always forget to pack the AROS drivers cd with it. I hate it when that happens.

Obviously you should have bought your AROS hardware from Black Troll Technology Corporation, when you had the chance. Then you would have gotten a AROS Distro CD with your purchase. :-D
