Haiku Code Drive 2008

[koki]

Haiku (http://www.haiku-os.org), an open source project dedicated to the development of a new operating system inspired by the BeOS, has launched the first Haiku Code Drive (http://www.haiku-os.org/community/haiku-code-drive-2008), a Summer of Code like initiative designed to sponsor students to write code for Haiku. The program is funded by the community, who also gets to choose which candidates get to be sponsored through a public poll. The Haiku Code Drive program, initially thought out to give one more opportunity to the students that applied for Haiku in the Google Summer of Code 2008 but were turned down, has a total of five candidate students/projects (http://www.haiku-os.org/community/haiku-code-drive-2008/applications). Haiku is accepting donations here (http://www.haiku-os.org/community/haiku-code-drive-2008/donate) until May 29th, and is holding the Haiku Code Drive Poll from May 22nd through the 29th. The results of the fundraiser and the poll are scheduled to be announced on the Haiku website on May 30th.

Neat. BEos was pretty sweet looking.

Haiku is a very cool OS with a small but friendly community (though a few of its members sometimes exhibit the not so flattering fablesse for BSD-style GNU/Linux/GPL bashing), I've chipped in with a few bucks, thanks for the heads-up!

We also have our small dose of very fervent followers. :)
