Hello.

  Has everyone seen the state of the PS2-Linux forum?  I'm hoping that we
still get to keep this private forum - most of the posters here have at
least got a clue about what the hardware is aimed at or at most are
professional game coders.  Sarah Ewen (SCEE) has stated that they intend to
ship to Europe at the same time as USA (although we can't pre-order yet??),
so in a few weeks I assume these forums will burst into life again.

  Have you all started making plans of what you are going to do first?  I'm
looking forward to converting my strat. game now that I have more polygons
to play with that won't fall over with transparency on.  I'm also hoping
that, like PS1, games can be pressed into the official disks - although I
suppose, with the harddisk and network connections, emails and FTP sites
would work.

  Is anyone going to be setting up their own project diary?

  Has anyone heard of any universities that going to order the kits to
replace Yaroze?  Has anyone told them?

  Has anyone asked OPSM to have a code clinic section - perhaps with guest
pro-coders?

  Is anyone running a bet on what percentage of sold Linux kits appear on
EBay within 2 months after launch?


  So many possibilities, it's like being a yaroze newbie again.
