AROS / Amiga Workshops at Duisburg, Germany!

Pascal Papara of ARES-Computer-, AEROS-, AmiCloud-, and more fame, is starting a series of AROS workshops in his hometown of Duisburg, Germany.

Some of the planned subjects include:

- different flavours or AROS, and how to install them
- AROS hardware support
- software-"gems": what's possible, and how
- AmiCloud tutorial
- JanusUAE and Classic Amiga software

Additionally, Mr. Papara plans to present his new ARESOne computer, indieGO machines, latest previews of AROS Broadway and AEROS, some more projects and games, and there might be a gaming tournament.

Ticket prices range from 0EUR (free) to different "flatrate" prices including food, beverage, and a copy of AmiCloud. Parking and toilets are available, and the place is barrier-free. Visitors may also present their own material, for which they may purchase a "flat 1" ticket, which includes half of an exhibition table (or more, if required - please ask).

The first workshop is scheduled for Sat., March 17th, at 11:00 (doors), with follow-ups on April 21st, May 19th, and many more dates (see link below).

The location is:

ARES Computer
Baldusstr. 13

Distro: AspireOS - alive!

Nikolaos Tomatsidis' AROS distribution "AspireOS" V2.0 "Titan" is out!

After years of silence, AspireOS got another update. Nikolaos says that AspireOS "...feels much like the legacy AmigaOS in the way it opens windows etc. I want Amiga people to feel at home once they try it." The latest release is based on AROS nightly build of Feb. 5th 2018.

Some of the new applications included in the release are:

- 4klive (software synthesizer)
- ArModPlugPlayer (modplayer)
- Protracker, Protrekkr (tracker programs)
- Directory Opus 5.91 Magellan II (filemanager)
- GianasReturn, LBreakout2, Sqrxz4, Voxel Bird (games)
