Well if we did lose him it will be a big loss. We lost Detlef and now, maybe Joerg...

Every loss of active and productive developer hurts. And that is not only for OS4, but for any smaller project where there is a limited pool of talent.

What is happened to TetiSoft????

@all

There are a link with hyperion and joerg ??? (working for hyperion or an aggrement with them as a developper).

@ShInKurO

He suddenly disappeared and stopped doing anything Amiga related. Last I heard he is alive and well, but I never found out why he quit.

I liked Detlef, you could report a bug to him and nine times out of ten he'd have it fixed within a day

I think we should just wait and see what happens. Its all speculation.

I guess Porthan is Itix (on that irc log) because he uses that name on amigans.net. I would take any such comments from M-OS crowd as an attempt to make fun of Amiga community.

@TSK

Well, there is no need to shoot the messenger.

For me i love the gui of FP more. Its a demo but the price isnt much. I pay also for freeware programs i use to support. like sabre/wookie/owb etc.

@ALL

I think however that Joerg was free to drop AmigaOS when it wants it but...
At least he must comunicate to the community that...many of us have donated to him and I think he at least have to do an offiicial comunicate for greetings reasons...

I was under the impression that J?rg was working
hard on finalizing the OS4.1 update. Also, with the
announcement on FireFox, I thought he was part
of that effort, with his expertise in porting stuff
from other platforms. And thus, it didn't make any
sense to continue working on OWB.

It made perfect sense to me, but all doom gloomers
seem to think otherwise...

@Kotler

I REALLY hope that you are right...

@Kotler

He could at least to said hello sometime

When the amiga community don't earn news from some of their best programmers (an example), we could become verry stressed

Of course, the same for all important and key persons on AROS, AOS3,MORPHOS,...

(hum, hard too xplain for me in english because too early this day).


I remember beginning of this year, around sputnik AOS4 bounty redistribued, jorg said he receive enough money for the moment and we should give money to another developpers.
I don't think the lack of money for OWB development is a reason, and if he need some money, just ask us

@Mrodfr

i hope only he is fine. We are speculating on many things. but hope first of all that he is in a good health state

@afxgroup

Yes I second that of course.

He is fine so there is no need for worry.

@ssolie

ok. this is the best info..

@ssolie

Thanks for letting us know, much appreciated.

I don't see any comment by him or new OWB releases... i hope he didn't left our comunity. OWB is great and it was getting better and better.

why not asking him directly?
(no need to worry!)

byebye...

I'm sure Joerg is well aware we'd like to know why he has "disappeared" from the OS4 scene, and I expect he will tell us when he is ready & able to.

Maybe he is suddenly out of a job, or has family problems, etc, and has to concentrate on these "real world" issues for a while? Maybe he doesn;t yet know when (or if) he can come back, and so says nothing?

Maybe he is burnt-out & needs a break from coding? Maybe he doesn't know when (or if) he will want to come back, and so says nothing?

Maybe he is working with Hyperion on their top-secret project? Then he probably can't say anything until it is announced! Certainly he would be bombarded with email/etc if he did say he was working on it...


Solie has told us he is basically ok, so I think that is probably all we are going to get for the moment...
