The OpenAmiga Standard

[uncharted]

Matt, that's absolutely supurb!

If the momentum can be kept up, then things might just turn around.  As you know if there's anything I can do, I'll help any way I can.

This has brightend up what was a dull day :-)

Ok so this seems to be more than a nice idea.  In theory it should be able to work.  The only problem I can see is that some of the APIs are for commerical products, but there are always ways around that.  Now what is needed is for someone to explain exactly how it WILL work.   We need someone to come up with a detailed plan and proposal to put forward to the current players.

The next stage after that will be to present the whole OpenAmiga initative to the AROS team, Genesi/Pheonix and Hyperion/Amiga and get them to sign up to it.

@Greenboy
This would be perfect for that progamming inititive I discussed with you.

It's all looking good :-D

I had a bit of spare time today and started a design for the website, but I can see you've got that side of things already sorted.  If for any reason you can't use the boingball/butterfly design (trademarks etc), you could fall back on this if you needed.

Anything else needed, like PDFs gfx etc just give us a shout :-)

I'm still amazed that this has still remained so positive, lets keep it going.

@alx and uncharted

Could you come up with a new logo with openamiga.org and a rainbow tick between the two of you please?

Or anyone else for that matter.  It doesn't have to have the tick, but I've got the idea in my head and I quite like it now! :-)

I had a quick go at making a 3D rainbow tick eariler today, from memory, but I didn't quite get it right (The angle on the small lines wasn't quite tight enough).  

Then I realised that I have the orginal tick on the OS roms so I took a grab of the 3.1 insert dick screen via UAE and then cleaned it up using photoshop adding some polish.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait till tomorrow to see them as I did it on my laptop and I can't be arsed to faff about disconecting from here, swapping leads, reconnecting, uploading etc.

The only thing is I believe that the checkmark is a trademark (belonging to whoever owns Commodore) this topic came up back in 1999 in the days of the MCC when people were arguing over which logo should be on that VCR thingy.

Also Copyright may come into play here (I'm not an expert) as the Amiga ROMS (and therefore the image) are copyrighted to Amiga Inc.

Originally the padlock design was going to have the checkmark etched into it, but I wasn't sure of the legal status.
