The collected works of martiniturbide

Hi.

The OS/2 and eComStation community hangs out at OS2World.com. eComStation is not a perfect OS and we lack some hardware support, but we are still fighting as a community to grow and gain more relevance.

A newer firefox version port is on the way but I can not say when it is going to be ready. https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2

Serenity System does not does much development this days on eComStation, the company supporting eComStation is Mensys located at the Netherlands. They are the ones that keep developing for this platform and releasing new versions of eComStation.

Something that is interesting is that Mensys does not have the full OS/2 source code. The good things about OS/2 is that is architecture was so well structured that almost everything can be be patched over the original implementation. This is one of the reasons why OS/2 keeps running today. I had tried to discuss OS/2 architecture on this blog: http://openwarp.blogspot.com/ (with a of other philosophical stuff).

I really hope that we can grow as a community and keep improving the platform. My dream is that one day we can have an open source OS/2 clone as ReacOS and Haiku OS are doing. (with Windows and BeOS).
