Hi All,

I've put together a quick Devcon survey to help inform the AmiWest 2023 Devcon. You can take the survey here: https://forms.gle/S9bvJsqPzqN6TfPeA

Thanks!

@all

Mr Toast put together this killer poster for AmiWest 2023, just a few weeks away!

That's a great poster by Mr. Toast! See everyone at the show.

. . . and now it's just a week away! Love the poster by Mr. Toast as well! I will see everyone there this year and renew my Amigan friendships. See you at the show!

Looking forward to the show! I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make it.. in fact, it was looking bad.. but I will now be there!

Looking forward to the show! And ANY positive news from Exec SG Team, A-Eon, Hyperion, Trevor, and others. Will watch the live stream as usual with "some" beer.

On another note, Amiga OS4 is 20 years old next year, any celebration plans planned for next years AmiWest?

Here is the list of the AmiWest livestreams:

The stream for Devcon Day 1 is here:

Was hoping to hold my breath for news on an X1000 CFE update, however my doctor says that would be very unwise.

@AmigaOldskooler

The Devcon video has been removed :(

Is there a summary what happened anywhere?

Announcements, releases, nearly finished stuff, cancelled stuff?

Thanks

- The A1222+ will be available at 1200 EUR for the bare board and 1600 EUR for a complete system (VAT included).
- There's little progress on the multicore kernel; still not stable enough to demonstrate publically.
- No OS4 update seems to be on the horizon.
- A free update to the Enhancer pack is expected before the end of the year.
- A-EON has commissioned the development of the virtio gfx driver for QEMU emulaton.
- AmigaKit is currently focusing on the Classic emulation segment of the market, with their ARM-based A600GS machine that allows running classic Amiga games, demos and applications in an emulated environment.

Thank you

Did, Garry Hare talk?

There was no obvious mention on the streams of any X1000 CFE updates.
The X1000 was mentioned in the Multicore support stream, but only to point out that it was deprecated in favour of the X5000 and A1222.

Guess X1000 HW updates are no longer supported?

Just want to thank tekmage and AmiWest crew for making the AmiWest show possible and going extra step and streaming for the worldwide audience, despite the issues they experienced. I've spent 2 good days watching the show and chatting via Discord with fellow Amigans, fun times!

Thank you!
