The OpenAmiga Standard

Here's a little logo I just did in the GIMP:



I'm not the best at HTML or graphics, but I'll help if you want it.


---edit----

OK - just saw the post below - better leave this to the pros :-D

MUI: Magic User Interface - the user interface libraries which a lot of Amiga software (particularly internet software) is based.  Software built around the MUI classes can look better, have a more configurable UI, and have new gadgets.

CGX - Cybergraphics - a system that allows the Amiga's graphics to be retargeted to a graphics card.  The other one often used is P96 (Picasso 96).

BSDSocket: Standard for networking.  Hardly used it myself.

ELF: Don't know much, but AFAIK it's a format for executable files (programs).

Direct3D isn't there as it's M$ only technology, only on windoze.  OpenGL is used on many other OSes (All Amiga-type OSes, Linux etc) and there is no point in having 2 3D APIs in a standard really.

I cannot seem to get to the page on Firebird or IE - do you know what the actual address is?

This is the Server Administrator™ default page.

If you see this page it means:

1) hosting for this domain is not configured
or
2) there's no such domain registered in Plesk.

For more information please contact webmaster@1t3.com

BTW I'll give you the faded logo ASAP.

In the meantime, I've just sent filson a newer version of the logo with a MorphOS butterfly - unfortunately I haven't got the AROS mascot on, though I might try later.

BTW what category would this go under in OSNews?  Amiga or MorphOS wouldn't really be right. :-?

I would say that if AOS4 would come out it would automatically kill the other two

I doubt it - AROS is open source, so even if most of the userbase migrated it could still be developed (besides, it's currently the only one on x86).  And MOS will soon be going in a different direction to AOS.  IMO that's the only problem with Open Amiga; while it's great at the moment, once AOS and MOS diverge it could start to stagnate, as the common ground between the OSes becomes older.

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

I've already done a revised version which is now on the Logos page, but if someone else wants to use any bits (ie the 3D tick) to incorperate in a better one, then just drop me a pmail/email.
