Setup & Installation / Re: OS/2 Warp 4 and Virtualbox
« on: September 20, 2014, 04:23:38 pm »
Hi Barbara.

Have you tried de-activating ACPI? I think that if you are not running the ACPI driver on Warp 4, the VM should run without.

I documented Warp 4.52 running as guest on VirtualBox some time ago here: http://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/VirtualBox_Guest. Maybe it can give you hint with the network.

Martin,

I've donated a bit to the cause as well.

As for the walk, don't worry about it.  I'll have a car and be driving each day.  I can give you a lift to and from the event.  This should also let you look a little wider for a hotel as well.

Looking forward to the event!

-Mark

Thank you very much Mark. It seems to be more affordable the Quality Inn (which is 10 minutes walking from the event), so if I made the trip I will be taking your word :)

Thanks to everyone that is collaborating. I just posted the donate button on the main page. It felt a little somekind of weird asking money for it, but I really want to give it a try to be there and stream the video.

Regards

Thanks Sander. I received the funds.

I want to publish something on the main page, but just this days had been very busy at work. Tomorrow I will post something about it.

Currently I have $686.88 of the $1400 goal. Thanks to all for your support.

FFmpeg sounds good too, but seems to be to much command line and without any easy way to switch from camera to screen.

For the moment I'm thinking more of livestream.com
Good side:
- It has an easy interfase for streaming the video and switching to the screen share.
- It has an easy website to visit for people to watch the stream
- It records the video
Bad side:
- The user needs to log on to livestream.com to watch the video
- The only way to watch the stream is from the website via Flash player.

Here are my tests: https://new.livestream.com/accounts/9977563/events/3383103

Please let me know any other alternatives (for any platform).

Thanks for helping with this.

For the moment I have "$339.13" on the paypal of the "$1400" goal.
Like I told before, if I don't make the trip I will be returning the donations.

My Paypal account is "martin@os2world.com" for the rest to contribute.

Like I told before my idea of being at Warpstock is to talk about the OS2World services and the OS/2-eCS community. And also do my best effort to do the live streaming of the presentations and document as much of the presentation video as possible.

Regards.

Hi

I really want to try to make it to WarpStock. My paypal account is "martin@os2world.com"
My conditions will be that if I don't make the trip I will return the money to the people collaborating.

I still don't know how much of my money I can put to the trip, my idea was to cover my food/movilization expenses that I would have during it. But I will try to do my best here, and I will really like to be there to stream this conferences.

Thanks to everyone for open this possibility. I will be notifyng about the donations to see if I get the goal, I need to reach $1400 aprox (according to my most squeezed Air Ticket and Hotel budget).

Regards

Setup & Installation / Re: End-User Suggestions for the next release of eCS

Hi

This are my suggestions about eCS UX back on 2011 - http://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php/Comments_and_Suggestions_about_eComStation_User_Experience

Quote
There is a slight problem with your request.  Anything that is part of the base OS/2 can't be changed because it still belongs to IBM.
Yes and no. There are very interesting things that can be done "patching" over what it exists. For example I think that Styler/2 did was "magic" for OS/2 GUI at it's time. But the fact that we need access to the source code to provide a long term for the future is a fact, and since IBM will not provide it, I always insisted that our dream should be to open source clone the close source components of the platform.

FAT32/NTFS support
I think that FAT32.IFS is good enought, but what it is better is that it can be improved since it is open source.  - http://trac.netlabs.org/fat32

NTFS never lift off. It is read only, but sometimes it crash. The NTFS implementation is close source from Mensys/Pasha and I didn't found interest from they to open source it. Maybe with clear open source/collaboration rules it can be futher developed, but it is also not seen as a priority.

...to be continue.

Storage / Re: exFAT

Hi guzzi

For what I hear from some developers, creating an File System driver is not a nice task especially because of the extensive testing that this kind of drivers requires.

What it will be great as a start is to have the eCS-OS2 implementation of JFS-boot complete open sourced. I asked that once to Mensys and they told me that the source code of it was provided in part by IBM, so they can not release it, which it seems odd since IBM released JFS as open source to be included on Linux, but who knows.

What I would think it can be good is to try to move away from HPFS, since MS owns the patent of it, and that is why (in part) several companies dropped HPFS support from their Partition Manager tools (I remember that Partition Magic killed HPFS support since version 7). I don't know which file system is the best, but I will not like to go back to one with patents that can produce more risk.

I know this is not a priority right now, but it is a good exercise to think about file systems from time to time, thanks for bringing it.

Regards

Gregg, that site is really creepy.
https://www.crimereports.com/map/index/?search=1200+Clark%20Avenue+St.%20Louis+MO&agencyzoomlevel=

I don't understand if that places are where the sex offenders live or where the crime happened.  Just looking forward of the potential if that site is connected to Google Glass face recognition, you will never get outside to walk :)

I tried Open Broadcaster againts YouTube and I can not make it stream :(

The other option that seems very easy is using "LiveStream" with a software "Livestream Producer" on Windows.

I have this test of livestreaming, but it seems that the users requires free registration to watch them.

Also checking the hotels I can get the Quality Inn which is 0.4 miles away, and reduce from aprox $500 to $310.

I guess that walking this everyday should not be an issue.  How safe will be St. Louis to walk that at night?

Thanks for the support.

The main expenses I need to cover are Air Ticket and Hotel. I don't have a problem sharing the room with other WarpStock assistant if they are willing to do that. I need to check on Neil if they are going to let me access the event as speaker without fee.

I can optimize the air ticket by going to Quito-Miami with other company and after that taking AA for Miami-St Louis. I'm checking other options from "Miami-St Louis", I'm checking orbitz right now,  but the only thing I can find, without stops, from Miami-St Louis is AA. If you know any other site for US internal flights please let me know.  I can reduce the air ticket to $1000.

Let me see a way that donations can be made to PayPal or a US account. I need to check if I can pay with Paypal the air tickets since I never done that.

Regards.

Thanks for the words .... Sander :)

I applied with Neil to see if it can be possible for WarpStock org to pay for it but the board voted not to fund the travel expenses. I completely understand this since WarpStock is not a multi-million dollar event and I realize that they have limited funding to organize this. (and I can be sure about that by just watching the assistance to the latest WarpStock on the pictures). I'm sure that the WarpStock board are doing this event because they love the platform, and not because they want to sell tickets to get profits. They told me that if made the trip on my own ... "Warpstock might provide a lesser amount."... which I didn't complete understand but I think that maybe they will provide me the entrance to the event or maybe a hotel discount.... or maybe some food.

The issue is that my travel expenses are not a little thing since I need to travel from Ecuador to USA.  My estimates are:
- Air Ticket from Ecuador to St Louis - Between $1250 and $1500   .... just checked today with AA - $1,396.93 USD - UIO-STL (Economy)
- Hotel: Aprox $439.96 + $73.52 Taxes - From Oct 23th to Oct Mon 27th

So, depending on the air ticket it can sum up to $2100.

I will need to start my travel on Thursday Oct 23 (all day traveling) and return Monday 27th (all day traveling), I will have to spend some time waiting on Miami, since that is the main hub for Latin America, plus USA customs . I have no problem asking permission at my job for those days. But my limitation are the Air Ticket and Hotel fair.

About streaming the event. I was trying to crack down how to do it on this forum thread.  But I still need more testing.

Of course if that I go to WarpStock I will do my best to try to document everything with my Camcorder (does anybody uses it anymore?) and try to stream everything. Taking pictures and try to comment on the OS2World site.  But I can not make 100% warranty that I will make the video stream since I depend on the Hotel Wifi and I always need to give a little space to Murphy.  But there is always the backup solution to use an Android phone to at least stream the audio and use a IRC channel with the community.

But for the moment I'm still looking for some volunteer that is going to WarpStock that want to give it a try to stream the content. I don't need a 100% warranty, just the good will to give it a try to stream the content to all of us.

Programming / Re: VisPro Rexx printed manual
« on: September 10, 2014, 07:27:04 pm »
Welcome Jean-Yves.

I talked to Dave Hock (Hockware) some time ago and he allowed VisPro Rexx to be released AS IS. Sadly the source code of it was lost and can not be released as open source.

All the information about VisPro REXX I was able to find was posted here: http://www.edm2.com/index.php/Hockware_VisPro/REXX . Let me know if you have something else that can be included.

Which ones were the programs that you developed years ago? Too bad that the source code was also lost :(

Regards
