Haiku Tech Talk at Google a Success

Posted by CowboyNeal on Saturday February 17, 2007 @05:47AM from the come-together dept.

mikesum writes "February 13 was Haiku's big day at Google, and we can say with a good degree of confidence that the Haiku Tech Talk was quite successful. We had a very special guest for this event: former Be Inc. CEO Jean Louis Gassée, who not only joined us at Google for our presentation, but also gave a few words of support and encouragement for our project. It was great to have JLG's presence, as well as that of the several ex-Be engineers who showed up for the talk. We were also glad to see Java for BeOS developer Andrew Bachman join us for this special event. Have a look at the pictures taken during the presentation, as well as the video of the event."

Might be good OS
But with only twelve users
Grim future ahead.

I wanted to go against the grain.

There once was a man most true
Who came to talk in Haiku
His OS was dead
The workers felt dread
Their business might soon be too

Strangely enough - once I login to the site the warning goes away. Perhaps you mean:
