Jobs in Haiku
Haiku already has wireless native stack complemented with a layer for compatibility with FreeBSD drivers, has compiled a month ago when the alpha was listed by 96%.
On the other hand Samba 3.2 has been implemented to exchange for SMB share with Linux, Windows and others, cd recorder's functional software called Helios and libraries QT4 port is in its infancy and progress.
Of course it's on WiFi (donations requested) and the graphics libraries to use Linux GPL applications where much development ahead, Rob Judd has written extensively drivers for TV tuner cards and is looking WebKit based from Google Summer of Code to bring the world a native browser tentatively called Tranquility (reminiscent of NetPositive).
And with respect to distributions arising TiltOS has repositories for installation of utilities and native software and ported by GCC 4: Apache, PHP, DOSBox, X11, GTK +, GIMP, Abiword, Gnumeric, etc..
Cherokee Server
Thanks to Antonio Perez called Skarcha , let's talk about Cherokee Web Server, a web server in the last batch and with a promising future in which he has been working.
Powered Cherokee Web Server
The main strength of Cherokee is that it is very fast. The fastest. There are some benchmarks [1], but as Cherokee is growing so fast, it may not be entirely accurate. Still, can give you an idea of the difference from others.
Benchmark Web Servers
The benchmark consists of half a million requests for static files of 1.7kiB, with 20 concurrent clients using a local line of 1Gbit / s.
The project idea is to make Cherokee the fastest server having the most commonly used features. This in principle may lead to think that it is a server that does not meet our expectations, but nothing is further from reality, because it supports the latest technologies used today (project page):
Haiku already has Bluetooth support
Finally Oliver Ruiz Dorantes has completed development of the support of Bluetooth in Haiku . Such a development falls within the initiative Haikuware Bounties , which will receive $ 1820 Dorantes donor of haikuware.com
Firefox on Haiku
In Haiku OS releases have not included a standard web browser. One of the best options you have is Firefox.
So here you have how to install and run Firefox on Haiku.
First download the firefox port for Haiku from here and unzip it in the place we want to save it, it's best to save it to / boot / home / apps for this in the same folder with the other applications.
Before you run the firefox-bin for the first time you need to add the following two lines at the end of our / boot / home / config / boot / UserSetupEnvironment for it opened a window and in the address field write the path to UserSetupEnvironment mentioned above, This will open the UserSetupEnvironment in StyledEdit.
Finally paste the following document:
export Library_Path =% A /.:% A / components: $ Library_Path
export ADDON_PATH =% A /.:% A / components: $ ADDON_PATH
We return to the folder / boot / home / apps (taking into account that there saved the firefox) and inside the folder run the firefox firefox-bin and you will have already run your firefox browser in haiku.

Driver VIA OpenSource Graphic Cards
The owners of graphics cards and users of free software-based systems are in luck. VIA has decided to assist in the development OpenChrome free driver for your graphics cards. The development community OpenChrome seeks to offer an open driver that provides all the acceleration features of the chip VIA UniChrome, UniChrome Pro and Chrome9.
A step forward for free software.
Large companies have become interested in free drivers for their components and supporting documentation.
Graphical programming manuals for the VX800 chipsets VIACX700M and are available in X.org and the VIA framebuffer driver has been implemented in the next kernel version 2.6.28.
More information about the collaboration of VIA OpenSource OpenChrome and Video Driver .

Proposals for Haiku R2
Even with no R1 version released, the guys at Haiku already thought about what should be Haiku R2. With an Alpha version and yet to throw R1 without clear date , this initiative does not go beyond conceptual proposals.
It is the philosophy of Haiku R2 desktop they have begun to arise. Although he had created a document to take into account factors and possibilities for the future, some critics have motivated community have to be kept at new proposals .
