<br />
There's going to be a flurry of activity as people try to port to their favorite platforms ... and hopefully someone will step up to lead this project since Carl lacks the time.

This will be setup in that we get partial access to the necessary code parts and can work on these.<br />- We are going to extend our internal testing infrastructure etc on these new R3 releases and run it against our applications we crate<br />- Carl and I will have regular calls to discuss the status and things where we need his advise etc. So, to keep the loop closed and gain more speed<br />- I will meet with Carl in person on 23rd Juli to discuss further things<br />- Unitil that we want to get most administrative setup done, so that we are ready to go<br /><br /><br /><br />We are going to drive the priorities by the things RMA needs. This shouldn't be a problem for anyone because if you are going to use R3 for serious development than you will need it as well.<br /><br /><br />The thing is, that we are not going to jump-start for every requested feature etc. We know there is a lot to do and we will work through it step-by-step. And, this is not because we don't care what you all state here. Definetly not. I want to move R3 forward as fast as possible. This needs concentration, focus and pushing to finally get it done. At the end of the day the only thing that counts is, if we make it to make R3 stable enough for prime time development.<br /><br /><br />So, stay tuned and I must say that this is the most promising development for a long time.<br /><br /><br />Let's see if Carl and RMA will make it to deliver on this. Which, still needs to be proofed but I'm not going to stop to push for it.<br /><br /><br />Some notes:<br />- We will have an NDA<br /></i></span></span><span><span><i>- Carl didn't lost interest, he is full comitted to R3. His contract work is (still) / was very intense. Things get a bit more relaxed there now.</i></span></span><div><span><span><i></i></span></span></div><span><span><i><br />- I / RMA will be the main communication channel. I have access to Rebol-3 twitter and there exists a RMA twitter.- We will continue to work on the R3-GUI and release it as we did before (sometimes there might be longer periods of no-release, if we are doing massive changes)- The main focus will be: fixing bugs, defining and writing down how datatypes are handled WRT conversion, priority, sorting etc.</i></span></span><i>" </i><div><div><span><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span>(Robert Muench)<br /><br /></span></span><div><span><span>-Nicolas</span></span><div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; "></span></div></div></div></div></div></div>-Nicolashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11385224603248284129noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28109466.post-44802538713620169222011-05-29T13:22:00.001-07:002011-05-29T13:50:16.230-07:00Cht'i RUG 2011 in France<div style="text-align: justify;">A Rebol and Red Users Group took place in Lille, north of France : <a href="http://www.rebol-france.org/actualites/chtirugmai2011"><b>Cht'i RUG 2011</b></a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uL5LrhJOTd0/TeKwwMLEP_I/AAAAAAAAAAY/sSyK4HeFEV8/s320/chtirug1_nenad.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612242427604910066" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >DocKimbel presenting Cheyenne REBOL web server</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">During this event DocKimbel has presented his <b>REBOL</b> Web server called <b><a href="http://cheyenne-server.org"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Cheyenne</span></a></b>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And of course, his new project called <b><a href="http://www.red-lang.org"><span class="Apple-style-span" >Red</span></a></b> : a new programming language.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div>-Nicolas</div></div>-Nicolashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11385224603248284129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28109466.post-82521101443134781182011-03-06T09:01:00.000-08:002011-03-06T10:16:00.035-08:00ReBorCon 2011 : quick reportThe Rebol & Boron Conference took place in the Netherlands the 26th of february.<br /><br />Official site :<br /><br /><a href="http://reborcon.esperconsultancy.nl/">http://reborcon.esperconsultancy.nl/</a><br /><br />During the conference, the most important things was the announce of new project of DocKimbel : Red language creation.<br /><br />More information about Red later.<br /><br />Here comes the video :<br /><br />Video of the Boron and OpenGL :<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2LSTT48MjnM" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"></iframe><br /><br />Video of the presentation of Cheyenne :<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fJkfwhKlAZg" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /><br />Video of the presentation of Cheyenne's RSP :<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6BsQSBCU3Eg" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /><br />Video of the presentation of Red language :<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mxQASPefXn4" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /><br />-Nicolas-Nicolashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11385224603248284129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28109466.post-19129653418540922512011-02-12T08:05:00.000-08:002011-03-06T09:00:35.508-08:00ReBorCon 2011REBOL & Boron Programming Language Conference<br /><br />Date and Time<br />Saturday, 26 February 2011<br />11:00 - 16:00 hrs<br />Afterwards we will go for a drink and dinner in a local restaurant.

We bought a 180" screen for $166 and use an inexpensive projector to handle the whole event: http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=bingo.r<br /> <br />For her day job, Corina manages Human Resources for 15 BJ's stores, and this week began using her Jeopardy program at http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=jeopardy.r to run training sessions in a fun way - the employees and her field support managers love it!<br /> <br />REBOL runs so many business operations in and around my life, and the solutions have always been so quick and easy to create :) Please feel free to share your stories about REBOL in corporate America (and elsewhere) too!<br /><br />posted by: Nick 12-Jan-2011/16:44:14-8:00<br /></i><br /><br />From <a href="http://rebolforum.com/index.cgi?f=printtopic&topicnumber=39">Nick's forum</a> <br /></div><br />-Nicolas-Nicolashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11385224603248284129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28109466.post-21785523468015098502011-01-15T02:10:00.000-08:002011-03-06T09:01:18.603-08:00Period ending 14-jan-2011<div><br /><b>Most influencing programmers</b><br />Our Carl, Carl Sassenrath, creator of REBOL is rank 13 of "Most influencing programmers" <br /><br /><a href="http://www.hyenalabs.com/?p=717">http://www.hyenalabs.com/?p=717</a><br /><br />The creators or main contributors of PERL, Visal Basic, C++ and even Python are behind Carl !<br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.webdesigndev.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/carlsassenrath.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.webdesigndev.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/carlsassenrath.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br /></a><br /><br /><br><br /><b>Facebook Hacker Cup 2011</b><br /><i>Message from REBOL Facebook group, Maximiliano</i><br /><br />Dear Rebels,<br /><br />During these days there is the Facebook Hacker Cup 2011, and Rebol isn't in the possible programming language admitted. <br />Why don't you show that Rebol is an excellent language?

Contact him directly on the Rebol3 world if you wish to join the private beta testing group.<br /><br /><p class="section">Hostkit Madness</p><br /><br />Carl has been making frenzied releases of the hostkit, and we are now up to a release of 107. There is a 108 not released to the public yet. He has even built a R3 107? core for Amiga OS4.1. Don't even ask why!<br /><br /><p class="section">Try REBOL3</p><br /><br />Kaj has updated his <a href="http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nl/">Try REBOL3</a> in browser site. You can execute the Rebol expression in Rebol2, Rebol3 and in Boron. Eg, try this "make string! 1000'000'000" and see what happens in each.<br /><br /><p class="section">More S3 tools</p><br /><br />Check out Chris' <a href="http://www.ross-gill.com/page/REBOL">REBOL tools</a> page where he has taken the S3 work and built a protocol from it. He even has a fledging rest:// protocol, and ... a twitter client which uses OAuth. Chris has also promised a GUI for the latter ... but apparently his footie is keeping him busy. <br /><br /><p class="section">Boron</p><br /><br />Ever the subversive, Kaj also did a talk in Holland for the software freedom day on Boron, a language inspired by Rebol. See the slides in <a href="http://tryrebol.esperconsultancy.nl/Boron/">english/boron</a>.<br /><br /><p class="section">Stackoverflow</p><br /><br />Got a programming question on Rebol? Fork wants you to post it to <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/rebol">SO</a> so that it will appear that Rebol is not quite dead. You might even get an answer!<br /><br /><p class="section">Rebol without a clue?</p><br /><br />I think this refers to the author of this <a href="http://voice.devl.se/?p=104">blog </a>who hasn't been following the Rebol3 development cycle. But I suspect that perhaps the disorganization that is the Rebol.com site also plays a part in not presenting a clear message. Still, there is an interesting lengthy comment from Henrik who explains some of the inner circle (codename = "IC") happenings.<br /><br /><p class="section">R3GUI</p><br /><br />This seems to be the current codename for the GUI which is being developed by RM Asset. Those of us outside the IC see what appears to be a chaotic process but we are being assured that all the pieces will fall into place. Pekr remarked that it looks as though we are even less far along as Carl's VID .. but <a href="http://rebol3.s3.amazonaws.com/r3gui.r">try it for yourself</a>.Grahamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13157746164361910876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28109466.post-45777147212246796792010-07-16T18:59:00.000-07:002010-07-16T20:05:58.440-07:00Period ending 17-July-2010<p class="section">REBOL Gateway</p><br /><br />Want to join the REBOL3 world? Well, this is a very involved way but apparently it works <a href="http://www.rebol.org/aga-join.r">http://www.rebol.org/aga-join.r</a><br /><br /><p class="section">A100 Hostkit for Windows Released</p><br /><br />I can't tell you where to download it ... but if you look at Tuesday's posting by Carl in the private !REBOL3 Extensions channel on REBOL3 ALTME, you can find it. This hostkit is memorable in that the graphics is now inside the hostkit.<br /><br /><p class="section">Bounties</p><br /><br />The <a href="http://rebol.wik.is/Bounties/R3_-_simplified_DLL_interface">bounty</a> for a /Library interface for R3 currently stands at US$600. It is not entirely clear if Ladislav is working on it or not. A bounty for OpenDBX REBOL2 bindings was picked up by yours truly and the code is <a href="http://rebol.wik.is/OpenDBX">here</a>. What does it mean? It means that you now have access to all the databases supported by <a href="http://linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/OpenDBX">OpenDBX</a> including access to binary blobs which never worked for me under ODBC.<br /><br /><p class="section">JIRA Tracker for REBOL open source</p><br /><br />I have setup a <a href="http://jira.rebolsource.net:8080/secure/Dashboard.jspa">JIRA tracker</a> for open source projects. JIRA is probably the best tracker out there, and normally comes with a hefty license fee but since we are using it to track open source projects, we have obtained a free open source license. I have the capacity to track a decent number of projects so if you want to use this instance to track your own open source project just contact me. And if you want to report any bugs in any of the current projects it is hosting, just sign up!<br /><br /><p class="section">Quick and dirty associative database</p><br /><br />By <a href="http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=metadb.r">Chris Ross-Gill</a>.

See his first <a href="http://www.rm-asset.com/code/downloads">test</a>. A D runtime is included in the DLL.<br /><br /><p class="section">Scrum rules!</p><br /><br />The R3GUI project is now being run by Robert using a modified scrum methodology. And yes, the team includes Carl as well as Cyphre, Ladislav, Henrik, and Rebolek. But all their work is still closed to the unwashed masses.<br /><br /><p class="section">JDBC Bridge</p><br /><br />This is a <a href="http://rebol.wik.is/NetRexx">project</a> that I worked on a few weeks ago. It creates a Java server that allows you to connect to any database with a JDBC driver. The Rebol client ( actually you could use any client that can use tcp ) connects to the server using a protocol. Interestingly the project is written in NetRexx and compiles to Java bytecode. Protocols for <a href="http://github.com/gchiu/Rebol2/blob/master/Protocols/prot-jdbcbridge.r">REBOL2</a> and <a href="http://github.com/gchiu/Rebol3/blob/master/protocols/prot-jdbcbridge.r">REBOL3</a> have been written but need to be cleaned up.Grahamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13157746164361910876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28109466.post-5535440759577044072010-02-15T19:05:00.000-08:002010-02-15T19:35:34.698-08:002009 rebol Of The Year<h3>2009 user.r rebol Of The Year</h3><br /><p class="section">Brian Hawley</p><br /><p>Brian Hawley has been voted the second recipient of the user.r rebol Of The Year award.
