Nice! How was the visitors’ reception of Haiku?
Are those Haiku logo’d writing pads on the info flyers?
Were you 3 guys with a notebook each, or 1 guy with 3 notebooks? :slight_smile:

Hi Humdinger!

We were two people at the booth. We met in Twitter. :slight_smile:

The reception was good. We noticed broadly two groups of visitors: those who knew either Haiku or BeOS, and those who saw Haiku for the first time (these were mostly younger people).

The former group was happy to see Haiku alive and still making advances after so many years. The latter group were positively surprised particularly with unique things like BFS queries, data translators, how lightweight the OS was, etc., but also with the availability of software like LibreOffice, GIMP, Inkscape and such.

Those on top of the flyers were Haiku DVDs. These were brought by Murai-san, who I believe is a long-time contributor to Haiku. His showing up was a surprise!

Heh. That covers literally every person wandering into the room… :grin:

Ah, right must be a perspective trick, looking non-square. Brought by the mighty “mt”. Hope you all had a lovely time!

We had a great time indeed!
