[apostle-users] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

This weekend I imported a new module into the Apostle Project CVS tree ca=

"apostle". It does not do too much and it might need some tweaking to get=

to work for you, but it is a start. Have a look at it!

For those of you who would like to keep track of changes to the code, ple=

subscribe to the apostle-cvs mailing list. You will receive an email of e=

"cvs commit".

[apostle-users] disk image

[Guido de J. <gu...@dd...>]

Right now a disk image is available from the Apostle Project ftp site
(ftp://apostle.sourceforge.net/pub). Just download it and copy it onto
an empty floppy disk. Then you can restart your computer, booting from
that disk.

On Linux, to copy the image to a floppy disk use:

	dd if=apostle-<date>.image of=/dev/fd0

On DOS/Windows try using "rawrite". It comes with most Linux
ditributions and is available form many websites.

Enjoy!
Guido

It now contains a "links" page and a question was added to the FAQ.

[apostle-users] Apostle 0.0.3 released

[Guido de J. <gu...@dd...>]

The Apostle micro-kernel version 0.0.3 is available from the Apostle
ftp-site at SourceForge. This release provides for enough system calls
to develop the first simple external modules. The code in the CVS tree
is hereby promoted to version 0.0.4.

[apostle-users] New website is up!

[Guido de J. <gu...@dd...>]

Hi, all!

Just wanted to let you guys know that I just made the new Apostle
Project website available. I merely took some of stuff on Spence' old
site and some of the later SourceForge stuff by Kasper and added a
little of myself.

Some things need to be worked on, but at least no more "Under
construction" messages :-) .

Feel free to mail any comments. Also you might want to notify me of
spelling or grammatical errors, 'cause English is not my native tongue
:-) .

Enjoy!
Guido
