Thomas Richter stands down, current programs in utero

[Darth_X]

Your skills should include either C (ANSI-C) programming for the one half of the projects, and advanced Motorola 68K assembly programming for the other half of the projects.

Wow.. those are big shoes to fill. There are not that many people with those kinds of skillz around anymore.


With skillz like that Thomas would definately be an asset to MorphOS application development.

This link doesn't work, does anyone have a link to this that does work?

[Darth_X]

This is quite an old message from comp.sys.amiga.programmer, and it should be pointed out that new developers for the packages have already been found.

I would like to know why this stuff gets posted so late, you would think some to be more on the ball and posting this stuff sooner?

:-D

I think he's probably worth more than that.

In what way?

Anyways, Genesi seem to be paying the people that work for them, unlike some companies which are in breach of contract battles

I don't think Thor has ever been interested in MOS. Come to think of it, I don't know if he's ever been interested in OS4 either. Considering the amount of fud and stupidity either camp having been displaying over the past couple of years, I can't say I blame him either.

Well, if he's developed for Amiga's and Atari's I don't think he would be attached to any camp.. but rather genuinely enjoys coding for the alternative platforms out there. Who knows, he might be interested in coding for QNX? :-D

I'm not attached to any camp either, heck.. I don't even know fully what the definition of *camp* actually is! :-D   I just like to check out the alternative platforms.

@theTAO

I'm confused...AFAIK, Thomas was deeply involved in OS4.0 development for a time. I assume he was in charge of the shell and the console, but also heard he was reverse-engineering a PPC version of Arexx and developing the new printing system. Whatever the case, he'll be sorely missed.

Are you saying that Thomas was involved in actually coding for AmigaOS4? Do you have any kind of link to a website that mentions this?

[Darth_X]

I have no idea whether Thor actually was part of the OS4 team proper or whether many thought he was because he offered his stuff to become part of OS4. No doubt people will jump to conclusions, but I personally genuinely think he's leaving Amiga coding because his Amiga is broken and it's too impractical to get another.

You would think an AmigaOS4 developer would be coding on an AmigaONe system, not a mere classic amiga alone.

To give up on coding AmigaOS4 because of a computer going down is plain idiotic.. there is more to it than that. How about breach of contract?

*shrugs* :-D
