VLRec NG 3.2 is available
Felix Schwarz writes:
Only one month after the release of VLRec NG, there is a little big update available with VLRec NG 3.2. For the first time, you are able to simply record movies with the VLab, saving them as MPEG or IFF Anims in full color. NTSC is now correctly supported, too. Addittionally, many suggestions have been regarded and the "workflow" been improved. Download now from www.innovative-web.de (tilte link), and of course tomorrow or the day after tomorrow from Aminet. (ps)

To - citing the provider - ensure more performance and lower risk of failure for the future, our webserver will be umgraded tonight.

Heise: Hackermeeting hacked?
From the Heise article about the Chaos Communication Camp by the CCC:
The ports of the camp systems connected to the network have been scanned far and wide since Friday evening, to find the weak spot in the "enemy" system. The organisers had warned all "green" users to do Telnet sessions with encryption only, to make life not too easy for the password sniffers. But about 6:30 PM, the catastrophy happened: the systems suddenly denied any exchange of data with each other or internet. The Network Operation Center (NOC) at the campsite surrendered and issued a "Red Alert". Even in the early morning of Saturday, the NOC was still offline.

Mandrake was at Amiga
Mandrake, co-developer of the Window Manager for X (Enlightenment) was invited to a meeting at Amiga. Here his statement from his website:
Today I, raster, nettwerk, kainx, and chris dibona went over to amiga to have a little chat with Allen Havemose (VP of Engineering) and Richard Lipes (Director, Multimedia Services) of Amiga. We talked about a few interesting things. I promised I wouldn't say too much about what they told me on my web site, but they might be holding a couple of tricks up their sleeve yet. I also got to leave with a bunch of Amiga paraphanalia - which in and of itself is kinda cool. I don't know what all I can talk about q uite yet, but I'll find out. They were pretty impressed with enlightenment, which is cool - but we did make sure they realized it IS only beta (at best) code and we're not anywhere near done with it yet. We'll see where this goes from here. But I'm pretty excited about maybe working with them on a few things.
This is a repost, the original message had the links screwed up. (ps)

Amiga Advisory Council Press Release
»August 6, 1999

San Diego, CA - The Amiga Advisory Council is officially launched today
August 6th, 1999.

The community submitted hundreds of Nominations, and based upon your input
we are pleased to welcome the following members of the Amiga Advisory
Council:

Andrew Elia         Ben Vost        Bill Panagouleas    Cade Hannan
Carsten Schroeder   Chris Heereman  Christian Kemp      Christoph Dietz
Conor Kerr          Craig DeLahoy   Dave Law            Don Hicks
Gary Peake          Gunter Horbach  Heinz Wrobel        Holger Kruse

Thomas Raukamp      Thomas Svenson  Tom Lively          Trish Zlotek
Wayne Hunt          Wayne Martin

The objective of the AAC is to help us better plan the future of Amiga
through close communications with people who are viewed as leaders in the
Amiga community.  The members of the AAC have all executed non-disclosure
agreements (NDAs), with Amiga and will have access to confidential
information regarding future products and plans.  This allows Amiga to share
sensitive information with respected members of the Amiga community without
having to disclose our plans publicly.

The members of the AAC were selected to represent their different areas of
affiliation within the Amiga community - the Press, Developers,
Dealers/Distributors, and the User Group organizations.   The AAC is
designed to provide a flow of information from the Community to the Amiga
management team and from Amiga back to the community.  Each of the members
of the AAC will act as a conduit to the community and the areas that they
represent.

We held our first official meetings with the AAC in London and in Sacramento
with over 20 AAC members participate in these first official meetings. The
AAC was able to share with Amiga many of the desires, and needs of the
community.  As we work towards the launch of the Next Generation Amiga the
input received by the AAC will help guide those decisions.

"We are excited to welcome the members of the AAC as active representatives
of the Amiga community and look forward to implementing many of the programs
suggested in the near future,  stated Jim Collas, "together we will make a
difference in computing forever."

Rainboot 2.65 released / Original Windows98 Bootup for Amiga?
Andreas Falkenhahn writes:
 1) Rainboot 2.65 released:
On the Airsoft Softwair website, a new version of the famous multimedia bootup Rainboot has just been released. For the first time, the new version offers support for multiple background pics and other new features / improvements.
 2) An original Windows98 Bootup for Amiga?
That's possible now, of course simulated only :-) At the Airsoft Softwair website, the WindowsSimulator Bootconfig for Rainboot has been released. This looks almost 100% like the Windows98 original (start screen, cycle, desktop, icons, taskbar, sounds). A Windows98 startup is faked, leading to a rare Exception suggesting to rather use AmigaOS. The bootup is great for impressing PC friends, at least it worked for me. Rainboot 2.65 is required, since new features of this version are used. (ps)

Foundation News
Two Foundation products have been announced for this year. First there'll be "Foundation: Directors Cut" which is a re-release of the original Foundation, containing version 1.25, supporting graphics cards, gouraud shading and more special effects. Regarding the very low price (£14.99) of the re-release this is the chance for everyone who "forgot" to buy this game 'til now.
The second one will be "Foundation Edge", which is Foundation, completely rewritten in portable C++ (which could mean a PPC version of Foundation) and a totally different interface. The Foundation's Edge Homepage is already online. More information will be available there by the end of the week.
Update News:
In the next days a new update will be released. Paul Burkey is working on version 1.25, which will be included on the CD "Foundation: Directors Cut". The support for Foundation and FoundationDC will be continued. more ... (ps)

Flightsimulator "Flight Gear" Is Open Source
Amiga game writers should have look at the titlelink, where source code of the flight sim "Flight Gear" can be found. A hardware accelerated MESA or Open GL is required, so this should be an ideal project for a Warp3D powered MESA PPC Amiga. (ps)

Amiga in K1 Reportage (German TV)
Robert Wahnsiedler writes:
Yesterday, about 1:00 AM, I stumbled across a repeat of "K1 - Die Reportage", and what did my tired eyes see in a report - an Amiga 4000. :) -.
It was about payment on internet by credit card, and how easy it is being cheated. They showed an interview with Evrim Serim (sp?), a long-standing Amiga user and co-author of the book Hackerland. It was briefly shown how easy it is for a "pro" to hack into a simple site, and read out the credit card data. The interview was made in his room, where he sat in front of an Amiga 4000, which was easily recognized by keyboard and desktop. :) The screen was not that much visible, but the great Boing ball sticking to the monitor :). Great advertising for insiders... :). (ps)
