[email] [print]  WalterCon 2005 Demo Video Footage

Aug 27, 2005 23:13 UTC, by Chris Simmons, Senior Journalist.
From the what's-that-in-spanish department...

Bryan Varner dropped me a note about some video he shot of two of the various demonstrations that occured at WalterCon 2005. Naturally I promptly downloaded his Quicktime movie to our torrent folder, and created a .torrent mirror for you to download.

In the video you'll see great attempts at crashing the Haiku app_server, some commentary on the robustness of the code, and a staggering amount of threads for Java running on BeOS R5. Test machines kindly donated by Michael Phipps and Andrew Bachmann to allow testing of the new app_server, et al. In the background you will hear the jovial atmosphere that permeated WalterCon 2005, a sign of insanity perhaps or just good fun? What happens at WalterCon stays at WalterCon, so you will have to go to the next event to find out.
