Attending: Brian D., Paul N., Mark T., Manuel G., Charlie B., and George W.(photographing).
We were treated to a demonstration of open Rebol, pronounced "rebel", by Brian Dickens:
"I've been involved with Carl Sassenrath's language project Rebol for a while now. Someone on the StackOverflow chat room for Rebol told me there was an Amiga group in Austin, which suprised me. :-)You can see Brian's laptop there from which he showed some of the things the open source version can already do.[..]We've got lots of former Amiga users in the mix from Europe and elsewhere. The open source build of Rebol 3 has not been made for Amiga yet, although before it was open-sourced there was a drop made for OS4 PPC, i.e. www.rebol.com/r3/downloads.html and it would be great to find people with some working Amiga hardware to make a new build for our fancy community-maintained wall of binaries page.
Since it became open the group no longer has access to the hardware/software proprietary drivers that are/were in the commercial version. Restoring that functionality will take awhile.
