BeOS & Derivatives As of Late, the Haiku project has been making some major steps forward, most notably the ability to 'self host', one of the most important milestones for the upcoming alpha release. In addition to development progress, Haiku is also making a name or itself in the Free software world in general, by attending conferences, for instance. Last weekend, Haiku was present at the LugRadio Live USA 2008 event, held in San Fransisco.

Haiku making a name for itself. Frankly, I feel that Haiku, Syllable and the like provide a future vision for FOSS desktop software just as compelling as Linux, if not more so.

Also, it seems that Haiku's definition of Alpha status (stable enough to do day to day desktop tasks and even hardcore development on) is more akin to other people's definition of Beta (or maybe even RC) It's great to see that sort of concern for quality and stability in a project.
