I thought that I heard you say that OpenCL is "on the radar" .
Were my ears working ?

LibreOffice is under development and this is good altrough i'm still a bit skeptical about the final result, so my question is: why (for example) not put some money into the alfkil'QT project instead ?

What good would that do? The only Office suite using Qt is Calligra, and that's no competition for LibreOffice.

The idea behind the LibreOffice port is obviously to provide the Friedens with some new income, now that the Timberwolf money has been transferred. Not that this is a bad thing, it's just that porting LibreOffice *now* doesn't make all that much sense from a strategical point of view.

@ssolie

From what I hear, you didn't mention OS 4.2 at all, but you answered the question as to when it will be released with "when it's done".

Does that mean that a proper 4.2 release including all the things that have been described as being part of the next major release (like multicore support, modern 3D system, new console device etc.) is still planned? You talking about a subscription model and not mentioning 4.2 suggests otherwise.

"on the radar" doesn't mean anything, so it doesn't really matter if your ears are working (at least not in this context), does it?

@cgutjahr

What did you say?
I have trouble hearing you .

The netbook project is still ongoing. Sorry, I don't have any more information.

Yes, we still consider Warp3D at end of life. The Warp3D driver is something A-EON has commissioned. What else can I say other than money talks.

Let me make this perfectly clear. There will absolutely without any doubt will be ongoing collaboration with MorphOS and especially AROS.

I think it is likely somebody has again taken my comments out of context and/or marched on thinking they know what I think without asking me first.

We are wide open to collaboration. Period.

The release of information is controlled by the stakeholders. All I can do is encourage them to release information which is what I do at evey opportunity.

An update scheme is in the works and was demonstrated at AmiWest to a few people. My focus will be on delivering it as soon as possible.

You have a lot of questions. I'm going to answer them all by focusing on releasing working software and new products.

Project stakeholders control the progress reports, etc. so I can only divulge what I am allowed to. That said, I am always looking for ways to satisfy the stakeholders and relese more information at the same time.

A-EON's projects are under their control and I cannot answer for them.

Regarding Qt, I am excited about making Qt work faster, better and am even looking at possible integration with AmigaOS. We have worked closely with Alfkil to fix bugs in the OS so that Qt and his other projects run more smoothlly. BOOPSI (ReAction, MUI, etc.) will also continue to be supported in the long term.

Of course solutions like VLC interest the development team. I don't have all the answers. Just don't depend on a small OS team to do all the work. Encourage 3rd party developers by thanking them, bounties, etc. I think it would also help to stop all the infighting. It only scares developers for all platforms away. Think hard about that.

The current plan is to release 4.2 when it is ready. That has not change.

However, I would like to point out that all specifications are subject to change without notice. When something major does change I will blog about it.

I was disappointed by the following: "Steve Sollie made it perfectly clear that there will never be any "collaboration" with MorphOS (or AROS) as he said basically what benefit or reward would that be to Hyperion..."

-EDIT-
Apparently this was a misquote, and while I had written this and forgot to press "Submit", there was a post in which he stated otherwise.

Even if it WAS true (which it isn't), he'd speak only for himself, Hyperion and AmigaOS4. That shouldn't affect any (past, present and future) collaborations on any 3rd party components. Also, such collaborations shouldn't always be restricted to "amiga-like" platforms only.

"We are wide open to collaboration. Period."

being os4 development lead you actually should be informed about ongoing developments and the state they are in, if not decide about that yourself. so what are actually duties in your position?

I think he means that he has no more information he can give us, not that he doesn't know anything more himself.
