Haiku Tech Talk at Google a Success

Posted by CowboyNeal on 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 know its bad form to reply to my own comment, but I just realized that there was another one I missed:

      Imagine a beowulf
      Cluster of these things.

    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

    Haikus are easy
    But sometimes they don't make sense
