`05.Mar.2003` Martin Heine (ANF)	Genesi: Announcement concerning the Genesi/Phoenix collaboration In a joint statement, Raquel Velasco, Bill Buck, and David Greene (GreenBoy) clarify some outstanding issues about the future of Genesi, the role of Phoenix, and the DTV set-top-box. One to support the task oriented objectives focused on the delivery of the DTV STB by the end of 2003. During the month of March Genesi will transition existing consulting/ employment agreements to the new structure. A list of well known developers in the "Community" will be joining Genesi. These individuals will be almost exclusively focused on the DTV STB project. The future of the Pegasos and MorphOS, including the release of the Pegasos II using the Marvell northbridge. The difficulties with the Articia have delayed the Pegasos long enough. The Pegasos II development has begun and WILL be completed sooner than expected. Genesi will operate from offices in Luxembourg, France, and Germany with a branch office in Switzerland. "Virtual" offices will also operate in the USA and the UK. An extensive Internet sales and support infrastructure is being implemented. Genesi and Phoenix are seeking collaborators in nearly every area. Here is a full list of Phoenix mailing lists that are now devoted to Genesi development: Phoenix@phinixi.com - general discussion and internal announcements PhAnn@phinixi.com - newsfeed to broadcast announcements to outside news sites and forums PhrojectOS@phinixi.com - Open Source community with an emphasis on porting and supporting Open Source work. These are moderated by greenboy and open to all interested parties who meet Phoenix's expanded definition of DEVELOPER: coders, web designers and publishers, financiers, beta testers, translators, arts and media specialists, etc. Then: PhAppTeam@phinixi.com - applications (Chairman: Felix Schwarz) PhDemoScene@phinixi.com - demo scene (Chairman: Mikko Virtanen) PhGameTeam@phinixi.com - games for DTV STB (Chairman: Thomas Steiding) PhReseller@phinixi.com - distributors/resellers (Chairman: Adam Carrano, Christophe Decanini) PhWeb@phinixi.com - Phoenix website design and maintenance (Webmaster: Gary Cunningham-Lee, Admin: greenboy, with support from Genesi WebDev Team Leader Damien McKenna) Lists we are considering: PhGames@phinixi.com - games for Pegasos on the desktop PhREBOL@phinixi.com - should Rebol be part of the platform? PhDigAudio@phinixi.com - to ramp up what Nicholas Blachford's MORloud started. Note: Genesi has licensed ProStation Audio for MorphOS from Maurizio Ciccione of AudioLabs. ProStation Audio will be bundled with the OS. PhVideo@phinixi.com - from here the videomicrowave will take off. It begins with MediaPoint, and scales into a special IOSPIRIT offering - along with many other goodies being planned and soon to come.

`02.Mar.2003` Bill Panagouleas (ANF)	DiscreetFX Logo For Dollars Cash Giveaway Challenge DiscreetFX LLC Inc., Real-time Broadcast Quality Visual Effects developer for the Amiga/Video Toaster Flyer and Video Toaster [2] announces a new challenge for Amiga/Video Toaster artists worldwide. Deep in the labs of DiscreetFX we are looking for a new logo but we can't find one and we are too lazy too design it ourselves. Also, we know there are some damn talented artists in the Amiga & Video Toaster community and wanted to give everyone a stab at doing it for us with cash and product incentives of course. So here is the deal on our logo challenge. We will allow you the Amiga & Video Toaster community to design our new logo for us. Also we will post all submissions on our website and allow you the community vote on which logo we will use. So fire up those paint packages, animation packages and Flash creation tools fellow artists. We would not dare limit your creativity so we have very few limitations or rules for the challenge. Artwork/animations can be submitted as still images (IFF, JPEG, TIFF etc.), Flash animations, AVI files or whatever you wish. We only ask that whatever you submit is your original work and that it does not suck. What you submit must have the words "DiscreetFX" in some type of fancy pose or flash animation. Be creative and use your mind, we don't care if it is "Psygnosis" style or "New Age" style or "Retro" style. We leave the talent to you, all we offer is an open wallet for the winners. Don't forget that it will be voted on and judged by your peers so do a good job! Create your masterpieces with FlashMX, ImageFX 4.5, Zbrush, Photogenics 5, or even Deluxe Paint version 1 on the Amiga 1000, we don't care as long as the artwork is fantastic. The Winner takes home a prize of $100 via Paypal and one of the products of his or her choice from our development team http://www.discreetfx.com/Products.html. Or if the Winner is especially greedy they can opt for just $200 via Paypal and skip the free software. There will be prizes for runner up contestants as well. You will have to hurry though because this contest ends on April 3rd, 2003. Please send your contest entries to amigaart@discreetfx.com. All submitted artwork/animations become the property of DiscreetFX but will never be used without compensation to the artist that created them. Also please don't forget that we still have a limited supply of the two CD set Amiga/Video Toaster version of Pyromania and it will be available for a short time at the sale price of $24.95. ScaryFX for the Amiga & Video Toaster is also still available for $19.95. Visit www.discreetfx.com for more information and the latest tools for your Amiga & Video Toaster. (nba) [News message: 02.
