There have been a number of other things happening as well: Headlines: 1. Helix DNA Server release, January 22 2. Mac OS X port of Producer and Client 3. New stable Helix DNA Client branch 4. Access, Equator, Intel, and NEC join the Helix Community 5. New mailing lists for Helix DNA Server and Producer 6. Helix Community is hiring! ======================================================================== 1. Helix DNA Server release, January 22 The third stage of our three stage release is upon us. The Helix DNA Server will be available January 22. The Helix DNA Server is the core engine for digital media delivery. Tune in at 11 am PST January 22, 2003, when we'll mark the event with a launch announcement Webcast featuring Rob Glaser, (Chairman & CEO, RealNetworks) and Helix partners We'll also be broadcasting a live Q&A Webcast with Helix developers. Damon Lanphear (Helix Server Developer) will be giving a technical overview, followed by a techical Q&A session in two parts; one with the Helix Server team (Dean Collins, Damon Lanphear, and Atin Kothari), as well as a follow up general Helix session with Greg Wright from the Helix Client team, and Steve McMillen from the Helix Producer team. Email your questions about the Helix DNA Platform before and during the live Webcast to: webcast@helixcommunity.org. There will be many of us on IRC during and afterward to field questions as well (see https://www.helixcommunity.org/2002/irc for connection information). ======================================================================== 2. Mac OS X port of Helix DNA Producer and Client The Helix Producer team has been busy with many Mac OS X related improvements to the Helix DNA Producer. The upcoming Helix DNA Producer 9.1 release will be the first release of the Helix DNA architecture for Mac OS X. Additionally, a true command-line interface for OS X is now working in the source code version you can build today (look for support in the upcoming milestone releaase). The latest roadmap with the plan from the Helix Producer team is available here: https://helix-producer.helixcommunity.org/roadmap More news from the Producer group is available here: https://helix-producer.helixcommunity.org/servlets/ProjectNewsList Additionally, the Helix DNA Client team is also working on a Mac OS X port. Look for more details on dev@helix-client.helixcommunity.org for this in the coming weeks. ======================================================================== 3. New stable Helix DNA Client branch Henry Ping writes: "We have our first Helix DNA Client branch (hxclient_1_0_beta_2002-12-20) created. It's a stable branch which we endeavor to ensure it compiles and runs at all times. [...] Please report any issues related to this new branch to dev@helix-client.helixcommunity.org or post them to our developer IRC (https://www.helixcommunity.org/2002/irc/)" If you've had problems in the past compiling the Helix source code, it may be that you've checked out code at a time when the build was broken (it's never our intent, but it does happen). This is one way we hope to make it convenient to grab a "known good build". For more information about this build, see Henry's full mail to the dev@helix-dna.helixcommunity.org list: https://helix-dna.helixcommunity.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=174 We hope to provide a more complete branching strategy for all Helix DNA projects, which we'll announce in a later newsletter. ======================================================================== 4. Access, Equator, Intel, and NEC join the Helix Community RealNetworks recently announced that these four leading consumer electronics technology providers have licensed the Helix DNA Client and RealAudio/RealVideo to enable Internet media on consumer electronics devices such as DVD players, televisions, audio receivers, PDAs, and mobile devices. Details can be found in the press release: http://www.realnetworks.com/company/press/releases/2003/helixcommunity.html We're excited to have all of these companies on board, and look forward to working with them. ======================================================================== 5.
