For everybody interested, I have uploaded two small demo programs to os4depot.net that show off some of the possibilities of the compositing engine of AmigaOS 4.1. Don't expect any miracles, though, they're very simple and just there to show that compositing goes beyond rounded corners

AmigaOS 4.1 required!

Developers! .....yes, ....you!

Have you have ever thought how you would really like to make your mark on AmigaOS?, maybe even have your work published as part of it?

If so, openamiga.org may be able to help.

Designed from scratch, openamiga.org offers a developer community portal, discussion forums, project management and source code repository all in one central place.
Projects included at openamiga.org are targetted purely at AmigaOS 4.x, and are submitted with the intention of becoming part of the operating system once mature enough.

If you are a developer interested in contributing to the future of AmigaOS, why not drop in and see if you can help out at OpenAmiga.org

DiscreetFX Founder Interviewed on the DV Show

The following articles have been added to the website of the French Amiga/MorphOS magazine Obligement (http://obligement.free.fr) during the last two months :

If you have a backlog of crunched OCR25 done then you need to submit it now. The effort could end in just 5 days.

Seems that these last stubs have very few permutations and ~6,500,000 of ~26,600,000 packets of stubspace 7 were done yesterday. Read the rest for full details.

The statistics server was offline for 3 days, and it's back now with that shocker.

ACube Systems, designer of the SAM440ep and SAM440ep-FLEX motherboards, producer of Minimig and distributor of AmigaOS 4, confirms also its participation at the Colmar Multimedia EXPO 2008 in North-East of France, the next 24-25-26 October.

The Italian company will present all its products to the visitors on the same stand than RELEC.

Official announcement on ACube Systems web site.
Recall of RELEC announcement.

A new official statement of RELEC (http://www.relec.ch) :

You certainly have just noted it, with the new temporary home page, your distributor of Amiga Software & Hardware "RELEC" is designing a whole new web site. This one gives you already a good idea of the modern and sober look which will qualify our new web portal.

This new site will relate to all the products AmigaNG and Amiga Classic available, but will still link towards the old site (current version) for a certain time. This, in order to benefit from the quantity information accumulated during many years of service !
