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:
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:
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.
All requests to join Phoenix/Genesi mailing lists are welcome! - just send email with a brief bio/CV to
greenboy@phinixi.com.
