I am hoping that is true and that others will see it as a
challenge and give it more than just a passing thought.

It woulc or could the OSFree project if news (even
if it is to say it is still going) to
http://www.osfree.org , http://www.os2world.com
and http://www.netlabs.org (the last could have a
mirror of the OSFree site which could draw more
programmers).

#1144 'E-Mail' Sent to IBM !!

I have sent (on again off again) 'e-mail'
(using the feedback part of the sites
download section) requesting/suggesting
IBM open source OS/2 Warp (if not ver 4
then ver 3). I gave them reasons to do so
(to allow those who want to create a clone
of OS/2 to do so, it would be a step closer
to IBM not having to support OS/2 in the future,
it would show that IBM does indeed support
open source software/operating systems, it would
give SS a chance to create a newer eCS kernel,
etc). I will probably continue to do so (sending
feedback) for quite awhile.

The greater the number of people asking to have
OS/2 Warp open source, the greater the chance
that it will be open sourced.

They employ extremely intelligent robots to process users' feedback. One
who mentions something about "OS/2" should be assured that it takes zero
people in IBM to read, process and archive such messages...

I surmise that IBM's robots, of whatever level of intelligence, are busy
with more important tasks, whereas all e-mail about "OS/2" receive a
quick and merciless end in a dimly lit back office by "OutLook" running
on a sufficient number of computers to ensure continuous operation, .

Even if I fail to get OS/2 open sourced, I will know that
I tried (better to try and fail than to have never tried
at all).
