Late last week something fairly remarkable happened. A software developer from Poland named Krzysztof Śmiechowicz issued a pledge that he would match dollar for dollar any contributions made to the AROS Poseidon USB Stack Bounty hosted on power2people. Krzysztof's objective was to drive the Bounty to the level required by another developer that had agreed and been assigned to the Project, Chris Hodges.
The complete and final list of donors
can be found at the bottom of the page
In less than a couple of days, over $2000 was donated and the Bounty was closed at $4170. Donations as small as $10 and as large as $500 (thanks Roel!), all matched by promptly by Krzysztof, came streaming into the Bounty account from Norway, the Czech Republic, Belgium, the USA, Germany, Denmark, Italy, the UK, France and Finland. Krzysztof's call to action and commitment and the community's response were remarkable. This was truly the power of community at work.
Nice work folks!

The AROS/OS4/MorphOS Community needs a unifying force. AROS is open source. AROS is also available or will be for x86, PowerPC and ARM. This is a good move. All Amigans will benefit. I am really happy to see this.
It's hard to think about what is possible if the Amiga Community is came together. We is dream!!!
