Just browsing the OpenBeOS web site and noticed that they posted the first release of OpenBeOS. It is currently just a patch on top of an existing 5.03 installation, which includes the latest opentracker/opendeskbar, mail daemon replacement, and a bunch of replacement prefs panels. This may not seem like much, but in the background teams are also making steady progress on things such as an open BFS driver, adapting the NewOS kernel for OpenBeOS, and a bunch of the kits such as the interface kit. I think their tactic of replacing things a bit at a time until the whole thing is open is a great one, and I hope to have enough time to get involved and help out in the future. Keep up the great work guys!
