Timeout
2007 is in several ways a special year for me: I will be 30 years old in August, netlabs.org 10 years in September and, I will be away for three months in one week :-)
After studying and working the past 16 years I thought it is time to see a bit more of the world and do that more than just a few weeks as I used to do so far. So I decided to travel through parts of Asia for three months. I will fly to Bangkok in early March and I will fly back to Switzerland in early June.
This basically means netlabs.org has to exist without me for some months and I really hope you don’t disappoint me ;-) I would appreciate a lot if things would go on during that time. We have exciting projects going on and it would be a shame if there is no progress for coordination things just because I am away for some time.
A lot of people already help me behind the scene, namely Robert Henschel and Jan van der Heide, which are doing a lot of coordination stuff and things like the netlabs.org Newsletter. But there is more that can be done by everyone from the community, like helping programmers with documentation, correcting stuff and so on. To give you a start I created an entry in our Wiki which can be used as a base for ideas for The Voyager Project to contribute.
Another important thing is that people do not contact me directly anymore for requests regarding netlabs.org. Please post anything related to netlabs.org to the community mailinglist, there are people reading this list which can take care of your request. My mailbox will most probably react like a black hole during my trip so don’t complain if you don’t get any answer :-)
That’s it so far from my side, I still have many things in my mind that I want to finish on the new server, parts of it will be done before I leave but some things have to wait till I am back in June. In case you are curious what I’m going to do in Thailand and surroundings you can visit my personal blog, which is German only however.
That’s it for the moment, I will let you know when I am back :)

How to continue with Universal Audio development
A discussion about how to continue the development of the universal audio driver for OS/2 and eComStation has been started in the netlabs.org community mailing list. I have created a new page in the netlabs.org wiki to help organize the ideas and gather them in an ordered way. Lets hope that some people contribute and we can continue the development of this vital driver for eComStation.
Not only development related ideas are of interest! It is also interesting to find out what users would expect to get when they have to pay for a driver! So please post your ideas about how this project could be funded in the future!
Note:Â There is now also a page for WarpVision.
The future of UNIAUD & WarpVision – or who pays for OSS?
As some of you may have noticed, netlabs.org stopped the contract with Vladest for UNIAUD and WarpVision development. This was not an easy decision for me and I would like to give some of the reasons behind this step.
About three years ago I decided to hire a fulltime programmer for UNIAUD and WarpVision, to make sure we had good progress on those projects. We decided to go for Vladest because he worked on both projects already. The monthly salary of more than 500 Euro was payed by usergroups, private sponsors and mainly by myself, which means my very own money. During the past years I spent around 20’000 Euro out of my own pocket for netlabs.org, a big part of that money went into those two projects.
Even as a Swiss this was a lot of money and I can not and do not want to continue like that. Besides this, I was not really happy about the progress of the two projects either, so I decided to stop the labour contract with Vladest. Next to those there were other reasons as well, but I will not ellaborate on those here.
This basically means that there is nobody working on either of these projects right now. Source code of these projects is in Subversion and both projects did get built by other people from time to time so the codebase is there, even if it might not compile that easy.
So what is next? To be honest, I don’t know. In my opinion UNIAUD is an important project, maybe more important than WarpVision. So the question now is if anyone is willing to invest money into it? Are users ready to pay for a sound driver for eComStation? If so, how should that be organized?
I welcome you to join a discussion about that, please post your ideas to the netlabs.org community mailinglist which is also available at gmane.org, so you can contribute using your web browser, news reader or mail client!
In case we find a constructive and working solution we might hire Vladest on a project base with clear goals, but I won’t do that alone anymore.
