Haikuware carries a Q&A of Ingo Weinhold, one of the main contributing developers to the Haiku Project. In this mini-interview, Ingo talks about his beginnings in the community, his motivations for adopting BeOS, his involvement in Haiku development, and a bit about his professional work too. He also gives a bit of insight about his Haiku-related subprojects, and expresses his determination to port the development tool chain and optimize critical services as the first steps to make Haiku usable as a full time OS for early adopters. "Being a professional Java developer and enjoying Java hacking," Ingo also seems to be thrilled by the recently announced Haiku Java Team and the prospect of finally getting Java on Haiku.

I had no idea that Axel, Ingo and Stephan worked for the same company. Reading the Haiku SVN commit logs, I noticed a lot of joint checkins, and always wondered how they did that remotely. Now that we've solved that puzzle, I'm off to explore the meaning of life ...

Apropos... Next week starts the coding marathon in the course of BeGeistert 018: see http://haiku-os.org/news/2007-12-03/begeistert_018
I'm curious to see what they come up with! Have fun everyone!
