Haiku turns 20 |
|
Haiku is an open source operating system which works to keep the vision of BeOS alive for modern computers and tasks. The Haiku project turned 20 years old this week, an impressive milestone for the lightweight operating system. "Dedication asks each of its adherents to have faith even as time and energy pass through from one year to the next. Dedication brings with it a variety of challenges, but also rewards. Dedication is something most people claim to have, but few readily exhibit it in the face of adversity. As of today, Aug. 18, 2021, the Haiku Project is celebrating two decades of dedication, marking the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Haiku operating system and the start of this ride to save, maintain, and expand upon the BeOS legacy it spawned from. Many things have changed since that Aug. 18, 2001 mailing list message bringing together the teams that would found what was originally called OpenBeOS. The first version released eight months later was even just called 'app_server prototype 5.' In 2004, the name permanently changed to Haiku to avoid any conflict with the remaining trademarks on BeOS." More on the history of Haiku can be found in the project's news post. |
