Haiku is currently taking votes on what features should or should not be in the first release of Haiku OS.

"This general interest poll, is to allow you -- yes you! -- the opportunity to effectively express your thoughts on which features should be present in Haiku R1 (Final). For R1, a balance must be attained between delaying the release and making Haiku R1 a well polished, impressive and feature rich release."

linux.conf.au (lca) is a conference about Open Source Software, including Linux. It brings together the world's community of Linux and open source enthusiasts who make considerable contributions to open source software. This is the second time lca has been held in Brisbane, with the first conference being hosted in Brisbane in 2002.

But why is this significant to me ? Well, because Haiku will be there. Phil Greenway (Sikosis) will be presenting on Friday 28th January, 2011 at 11:30AM (just before lunch; a good spot I'm told).
