../images/genesi/powerdev.png Meeting

The first Meeting in 2008 was a special one. A PowerDev Meeting sponsored by GENESI. Many thanks! You made this meeting a real cool event!

We got a 8610 developer system and a 5121e developer board which most people were interested in. Also for the last time we gave an exclusive look on the latest MorphOS 2.0 versions.

Last time? Yes, MorphOS will be released in Q2, so next meeting will be more or less a MorphOS Release Party. Smily Happy

Once again, we had many visitors. More than ever! We had around 38 Pegasos systems, plus a few macs and C64 systems and even more day guests than expected.

This won't be the last event, thats for sure, but the next meeting will be much bigger. Firefly

DVD

During PowerDev #2 Carsten 'PegasosSigi' Siegner demoed how to create VideoDVDs with animated menus by using MorphOS, Blender and some other tools.

The result is a small DVD with some meeting footage and fun stuff. Even professional blue screen effects are possible, as you can see in the movie. Its far from being perfect, as we improvised a very simple blue screen by using two bed sheets and the lighting wasn't perfect ether.

We had fun making this small dvd and I hope you have fun, too watching it. Smily HappySmily Happy
