Hans-Jörg Frieden winner of August of "Seeding the Success Campaign"
Each month the Seeding the Success Campaign introduced by DiscreetFX rewards a developer who forwards the Amiga .
Hans-Jörg Frieden who is the project manager of the AmigaOS 4-Teams is the winner of August.
Instead of paying 100 USD this time with this amount a bounty was opened which is supposed to help buying a Plystation 3 for Hans-Jörg Frieden.
This idea was inspired by a article at
Ars Technica where the misinformation was circulated that the OS4-Team tests a PS3-port. Meanwhile Hans-Jörg Frieden set right this misinformation and explained that a PS3-port "currently cannot be written".

AmigaOS 4: Audio-Player TuneNet 0.86.36
Paul Heams has published an update of his music and Internet radio player TuneNet. New in version 0.86.36:
- Shoutcast listing correction
- New Prefs for selecting a Base Mixing Frequency of 44.1 (default) or 48Khz
- Player code simplified (bug fixes)
The archive with the latest version of the player only includes the executable and therefore requires an installed version of TuneNet.

The forum of a1k.org is temporarily offline. According to the administrator the forum had too much traffic. Therefore the provider DomainFactory has deactivated the datanbase.
A move to a new server should solve this problem in future. But there is still not a final decision.
