Breaking OS/2 news, new OS/2 company! New OS/2? (von Bjorn, 23:00:53) ^
I just noticed this. Probably a pre-announcement, waiting for the officail publication:

Dear Fellow OS/2 Users...

My name is Lewis Rosenthal. Some of you may already be familiar with me as
the maintainer of several OS/2 and eCS mailing lists, the web host for
VOICE, and as the treasurer of Warpstock Corporation, the advocacy
organization which holds the annual OS/2 and eCS conference in North America.

Our community has been relatively quiet over the past year or so, in terms
of new OS/2 products and eCS releases. Late last year, I began to think
about the future of OS/2 as a platform, knowing that in the background, a
considerable amount of work was being done to maintain, update, and support
eCS, with little made available to the audience.

I began actively seeking investors for a new company with a new vision for
OS/2. To my delight, I have been able to assemble a group of such
like-minded people, and as I write this, we are forming this new company.
Part of the philosophy of the new entity will be to maintain strong ties to
the user community through the remaining organizations we have, and to
cultivate long term relationships with cooperative developers and vendors to
provide what we think is a more unified and organized face for our platform
of choice. Call this "branding and packaging" if you will.

While the products offered by the new company as packaged will be fee-based,
as far as we are able, code will be GPL (or GPL-compatible).

In the coming weeks, look for further announcements, a new website, public
forums and mailing lists, and soon after, a working web shop.

I should post this auf Deutsch, but my English is much better.

I posted a message a week or so ago concerning my plans to start a new organization focused entirely on OS/2 products and services. For those of you who may have missed that, the gist was that little in the way of new OS/2 products or releases have been made available in the past year or so, and that there seems to be a need in the community for new applications and updates. I was able to locate several contributors of time and resources and get them to come together to form a new company which will be focused on this market, maintaining strong ties to the user community, and dedicated to maintaining the viability of OS/2 on modern hardware.

I also said that I would have further announcements. Today, I'd like to share with you some more details of some of the team working to bring new and updated technology to the platform.

We are working closely with bww bitwise works GmbH in Austria. Bitwise ports software to eCS such as Java and QT, and is directly involved in the current work to update Firefox for eCS. Also, other developers such as Steven Levine and David Azarewicz have committed to providing time and code for the new company.

We are also working to help make Warpstock Europe 2014 happen this year, and while date and location have not yet been set, we are committed to making details public in the near future.

Many people have come forward offering support and asking what they may do to help. Rest assured, as we move forward, we will stay in touch and will advise when we need assistance. We greatly appreciate the response we've received so far, with so many willing to donate to this project. Stay tuned!

All the best.

Lewis Rosenthal

ECS hat dringendere Probleme als ein aktueller Firefox:

- Fehlende Unterstützung für exFAT oder ein anderes geeignetes Dateisystem um mit Windows und Linux Daten zu tauschen

- Unter anderen Systemen als ECS angelegte Partitionen werden nicht erkannt. Umgekehrt melden andere Systeme manchmal Fehler bei mit ECS erstellten Partitionen.

- Es fehlt eine unsichtbare virtuelle Maschine, mit der man Windows Programme unter ECS ausführen kann. Das mag nicht billig sein, aber dadurch wird ECS zu einer brauchbaren Alternative zu Windows 8.
