 Amiga Inc. Seek Developers


 Amiga Inc., the new, Dakota based subsidiary of Gateway 2000, are on
the
move at last. Darreck Lisle has been appointed to handle the
organisation of
conferences and exhibitions, and has told us of his plans to institute a
series of developers conferences. Amiga Inc intend on listening to what
the
Amiga community has to say, something that should be very reassuring to
those who have been wondering about the level of Gateway's commitment to
communication.


 The first developers conference will take place at the Computer97 show
 held  in Cologne on the 14 - 16 of November. This follows The mid
 August meeting in Dakota between Amiga Inc boss Jeff Schindler, Petro
 Tyschtschenko and a group of guests including representatives of the
 Industry Council of Open Amiga, the ICOA. Further conferences are
planned
 for London, UK and in North America in the future.



 Amiga Inc Needs You

 Amiga Inc are hoping to build a database of developers. If you are a
 developer or part of a development team working on projects you feel
Amiga
 Inc. should know about, they would like you to register with them.
 Please note that while Amiga Inc are not going to be able to discuss
every
 single project under development immediately. What they want is to know
 what developments are out there, what useful pieces of code they might
want
 to pick up or help people with, and who are the people they really want
to
 talk to. If you think that you figure in this category, then all you
have
 to do is fill in the simple developers  registration form
 and your details will be sent to AI. If they want to contact you after,
 they will.


 In related news, Amiga Inc are scheduled to move into their
 new office building at the start of October. They are currently
pursuing a
 number of hire targets, and hope to have the first 30 people hired by
 Christmas. Apparently a few of familiar names will be coming back to
the
 Amiga and AI are putting together an inducement package which they hope
 will allow them to "poach back" some people who have moved on to other
 companies.

 Petro Tyschtschenko has told us that an OS 3.5, an upgrade of some
form, is
 likely to be available within six months. Details of what is planned
for
 this upgrade aren't currently forthcoming, but we can expect to see a
 greater degree of hardware support, with improved CD-ROM drivers a
 likelihood, and DVD drivers a significant possibility.
