KMOS CEO Will Speak at Amiwest 2004 Banquet

[System]

I do sincerely wish I could go this year, it's simply not in the cards.  I will look forward to Tekmage's broadcast.

Without intending to start a war, what I would REALLY love is the opportunity to sit down with Bill McEwen, either on, or off the record and discuss what's REALLY up with Amiga Incorporated.

Good morning,

I had given prior warning regarding this thread having veered terribly off topic.  Despite my warning, people continued to lead everything astray, leading to direct insults in spite of our posting guidelines.  

This left me no choice but to literally moderate the hell out of this thread, since news posts can't be locked (dunno why, oversight on Xoops part I think).  Unfortunately due to the way that Xoops works, a few innocent threads were accidentally killed as well.  For that, and to the posters of those innocent posts, I truly apologize.

This thread's topic is the fact that Garry Hare will be speaking at AmiWest.  Nothing more.  It is not about trashing other sites, it is not about trashing Amiga Inc, Hyperion, Genesi, or anyone else.

Personally speaking, I'm not suggesting blindly placing Garry Hare on a pedestal (I've pretty much run out of pedestals where the Amiga community is concerned).  I would like to hear what he has to say and whether it has any relevance on the situation BEFORE casting judgment.

Fair enough.  You're entitled to your viewpoint.  I prefer to see action than to hear more words, but I don't know Garry Hare, so I will be more open-minded until I hear what he's got to say at Amiwest.

Do I "expect" anything?  No.  Am I willing to listen?  Sure.  

Let's face it. After 8 years of neglect, the Amiga and community has no where to go but up.  I just wish they'd open source the whole AmigaOS project, but that's useless dreaming.

(From the perspective of a Web developer, I could actually get behind and support a real open source project).
