DWS2008 -- it's time to make the decision

2008-04-06 03:03:06 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

Forget about your daily tasks, move to Dusseldorf in the end of the May! Developers Workshop 2008

• What is successful conference?
  Good presentations + hot discussions + and.. *Report* from the conference. Who is ready to play the role of the reporter? Are you ready to get interviews, make photos and collect comments? It's very important to distribute the information about the results of the conference among all users and developers.
• Do you have a report for other developers? For example,
  • you can make a review of modern technologies which are needed in eCS
  • prepare a review of coming technologies: USB 3.0, IPv6, etc.
  • which new node applications should be created? (so other developers can create plugins for this node applications)
• Seems that Mensys team is going visit the conference too (Mensys is responsible for the development, assembly and delivery of eComStation). Do you have questions to Mensys?
• Do you have remote control to make presentations? Central Remote Control supports AirClick

Are you ready for the conference?

• What is better? Show dry slides or demonstrate your libraries and tools in live mode?
• Are you going chat with other developers? Did you invited them to the meeting?

DevCon: LANGE library

2008-03-04 21:09:14 -- Eugene Gorbunoff

The library is used in many applications already!

Please a) care about translators, b) add multi-language support to your utility to make eComStation truly NLS-ready.

The development of new drivers and applications for eComStation is labour-intensive. We are going to publish guidelines how to start the development of new program, how to improve current software.

This includes an overview of new libraries and control elements and the perspectives untill 2009.

Do you have questions? Which libraries do you need? How to unite all developers?

80% of applications are not published

2007-10-14 16:27:04 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

We see that major part of applications and drivers for eComStation and OS/2 are not finished and never were published.

We offer two methods to reanimate such programs: a) separate a module from your program and share it with other developers, b) or replace part of code with module created by other developer.

Uniaud 1.2 .0beta1, Experimental release

2007-10-10 22:55:04 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [ecomstation.ru]

"the Universal Audio Driver for eCS and OS/2."

UNIAUD32 1.2.0beta1 aka "ReSync 0.9.5"

Mark Dodel: This is an experimental test release of a Resync of ALSA 0.9.5 in UniAud. It is only the uniaud32.sys driver. You must already have a recent UniAud release installed to use this. Though I found this release works fine on my Thinkpad T42p, please heed the warning below.

"WARNING: These 1.2.0 beta releases should be treated with the caution due to any experimental/unstable software. They should not be used on a production system without proper system backups. Always keep a bootable CD handy for reverting to a more stable release of Uniaud32.sys in case this one should trap."
