David Reid has left the OpenBeOS project. David guided the net team through all their achievements, and really helped the effort. Thanks David!

Looks like they already have a replacement leader in mind, so this shouldnt slow them down much.. but it would be a good time to volunteer (just as it always is)

Got an interesting email yesterday. It’s in response to the Javashare code-a-thon (sorta) and is from the author of Ozone. (I love this kinda thing) - Here is a direct quote:

“Personally, I have a life and friends… so i’m not going to spend 96 hours
on an Ozone code-a-thon And you can quote me on that one

Don’t worry VitViper, we will. And all we have to say is “Ouch! Low blow on that one.” - You gonna take that Bryan?

Here are the updates on Ozone:

• 1. Mac OS X now has an Ozone client at the ozone site thanks to Jeremy. So that’s good.
• 2. Ozone 2.0 is underway, with UNICODE support, Multi-server queries, multiple connections in one window, etc. You can see some screenshots here, here, and here. The third is the best, cause it has Bryan doing his code-a-thon in the competitions screenshot. Which is funny. - Oh.. and apparently the GUI is native winXP on those shots. Whatever the hell that means.

Anyway.. seems like there is some friendly competition going on.. which is always nice. Good times for the BeShare crowd.
