Some great information and insights into ongiong developments. Many thanks to the people involved in organising the event, and to those who make it possibloe for us to attend virtually.

But "Chief Engineer" - really? I sincerely hope that's a case of "lost in translation".

The many years I spent getting an Engineering degree, and subsequent years spent as a Junior Engineer gaining the experience to be able to call myself an "Engineer" let alone "Chief Engineer" were rubbed up the wrong way by that one.

Yeah, I scratched my head while correcting spelling and such, but couldn't think of any other term save, "Chief Code Monkey".....

Happy to change it, if you can come up with a better term?

then i'm sure you'll be pleased to know that steve has never referred to himself as chief engineer of anything. he is currently the development team lead for AOS, and that's all that was mentioned. IMO steve is an incredibly modest guy. i can't imagine him assigning a title to himself that wasn't merited.

so, yes, "lost in translation."

No problem, I'm sure whatever Steve calls himself is fine.

@Eliyahu

Just one of those bug-bears. I have to stop myself eveytime the "Gas Engineer" comes round to perform a perfunctory safety test that the average spaniel could master.

Although chief engineer Solie didn't explicitly say whether or not NTFS for AmigaOS will support both read and write access...

Both reading and writing are supported and tested to be working. You can even format NTFS partitions normally using c:format or from WB although there is also a port of the mkntfs command line tool which gives more control on how the formatting is done.

I've just downloaded Prisma Megamix PDF and I am wondering - is there on-soundcard some DSP effects [like reverb or fft filters] or it is just for output?

Hats off to AEon for this level of commitment. Very pleasing to see. Would love to see a stable version of Timberwolf first though as I feel it is vital for the Amiga to progress.

I am a registered Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) thank you but that is not my title nor occupation at Hyperion. I am the "AmigaOS Development Team Lead."

And Trevor's title is "Founder" as well. I just confirmed this with him personally.

In many countries job titles are just descriptions what you do. They have no correlation to your degree. For example here in Finland we have engineers who never completed anything higher than the high school but they are called SW engineers and such because that is what they do.

Sounds like "sour grapes" to me. It's not Solie's fault it took you so long to get promoted. Maybe it was a lack of engineering expertise.

It doesn't feel so good to be insulted, does it?

So YoYo, what kind of monkey are you? All indications are that you're a "MODERATOR" monkey because a real MODERATOR would discourage the kinds of insults seen here.

@Xenic,

The only insulting replies I see in this thread are the ones posted by you. Why are you so bent on trying to stir up trouble, where none exists?

I think if Steve Solie had taken any offense to Yo's term "Code Monkey", he would have defended himself in the message he posted as a reply to her naming him Chief Engineer.

I beg your pardon, but you know nothing about my life and I presume to know nothing about yours.

Normally I'm not insulted, since I treat others with respect and they reciprocate. Congratulations on making youself a rare exception.

Incidentally, could you please point out where I have insulted anyone (Gas Engineer excepted).

Now look at your own comments.

Per a request directly from the AmiWest Show floor, the title of Steve Solie has been corrected to read "AmigaOS4 Team Lead", so please no further off topic comments about the mistake that was made, or insults that were unintentional, or otherwise after the fact. This is the only warning that will be given and any further discussion about the engineering title or perceived insults may result in a temporary vacation from posting on AmigaWorld.net.

I loved your news post it was actually a great read (no kidding) - however as per tradition I ran it through your html validator and it reported:

1 Error(s), 1 warning(s)

Lol

I see a bit of a tease there wih a Live Linux Remix. No details given. Plug and play would be good for Linux on X1000.

With NTFS AmigaOS will have one feature a common STB doesn't. Most of them, the ones that record and play on USB only support FAT uotp 32GB usually. And a PS3 can only read FAT as well a friend found out. Unless that fixed that.

Now all this is very well but what happened with the developer sessions and what's the news on that? I want to hear what was taught and what lessons were learned regarding AmigaOS development!

@Hypex

There is this Amiwest lessons 2013.

It's all right - we all need to insult a Gas Engineer from time to time
