`23.Sep.2007` Ralf Steines (ANF)	Back to the Roots: Status information In the meantime, since the most diverse speculations on the whereabouts of the back2roots.org main archive have spread in the Amiga and emulation community, which is well-versed in rumors, here is a brief status update: The BTTR server was never disconnected, but ran technically unattended for the last two years (more precisely, since the summer of 2005). Since everything is automated except for updates, this was initially not a problem either. Surely, everyone has noticed that we suffered under massive disk space bottlenecks and our update frequency became ever sparser. Then, through appeals for donations, we have tried to afford financing our further growth (and we still have a lot up our sleeves) with the help of the community. A considerable amount of donations came together, too, so that for now, nothing stands in the way of the project's future. But now, a complete disruption of the hard disk storage unit came by, despite all the stability of the automation in the absence of the programmer Ralf Steines (hippie2000) from the Net. In the process, important parts of the BTTR engine were overwritten with empty files. Surely, everyone has seen the result... Anyway, Ralf is back, the core of the team is reunited, and right now, we are working on the reconstruction of the server which is located at the University of Trondheim, to make possible the next growth of the project. To all those who have donated until now: Count on it that everything arrived and will now be used (or was already used) for the specified purpose. All others are still welcome to participate. You can find details on back2roots.org. In the next weeks, we are reconstructing everything, reinstalling the machines, configuring everything, in order to be available to you soon in old glory again. Afterwards, it goes on with new updates. Till then, the page is available symbolically with limited functionality, so that everyone can see that we are back, so please, a little patience still. Best regards, Your back2roots.org team (snx) (Translation: cad) [News message: 23. Sep. 2007, 08:01] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`19.Sep.2007` Andreas Magerl (ANF)	Amiga Future: Gallery Update Press release The Amiga Future Gallery has been updated considerably the last days. There is a new wallpaper section where users can put their own wallpapers online and make them available to others. The games screenshots section is new aswell. We will publish every screenshot we have in this gallery. The first 1000 are already online. Furthermore there are the already known sections for the reader's workbenches and computers where the users can post screenshots and photos. Moreover we are looking for other names for this two sections. The ones currently used don't really sound well. Subscribers of the Amiga Future are able to download colour CD covers for printing. The English edition of the Amiga Future 67 has been sold out. But there are enough copies of issue 68. Also we ask all users especially the ones getting the English edition to extend their subscriptions as soon as possible or letting us know if they aren't interested anymore. This would ease the planning of the next issue of the Amiga Future heavily. (snx) [News message: 19. Sep. 2007, 12:33] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
