Open Amiga

[Argo]

From the Hyperion Entertainment Blog:

We often hear about software developers and eager users wanting to help the Amiga Operating System move forward with new functionality and bug fixes.
One way to get involved is by joining the Open Amiga effort. The Open Amiga web site has plenty of projects which software developers may want to tackle to enhance AmigaOS.
Open Amiga is not just for developers. Users may also contribute.

Needed personnel include:
* Developers and others who can join the main work group
* Interested parties that provide feedback in the forums
* People who can write developer guides and guidelines (how to's, do's and don'ts)
* Web developers for building the infrastructure
* People who gather available developer documentation from the net

Judging from the dates, many of the projects have fallen on hard times. Go ahead and grab one and start going.

Hmmmph *sticks nose up in air*. Cheap labour.

Yeah, Linux and BSD suck. Cheapos...

[Argo]

Well it's not far off transforming into Linux as it is....

I'd rather see a BSD base.

Since HYperion have and own the code, how can you have an Open source AmigaOS without them?

*cough*AROS*cough*

It's profoundly silly to talk about an Open Amiga without actually opening up AmigaOS!  What's open, the case cover?

Why? You can have open source software on any platform. OpenAmiga.org is just the same as if there was an OpenWindow.org or OpenMac.org.  It is not about open sourcing AmigaOS. I doubt that is even possible if Hyperion had a desire to.

Yes, It was originally for open source programming on all Amiga flavors not just specifically AOS 4.0.
