I expect the voting to be quite informal. I doubt a simple vote-for-one scheme would work if the phpBB forum voting system was used.

i think the vote should be made by a jury.
composed by 256 selected users? and then, give these users the right to vote to a poll somewhere. is it possible stuff? |

Just 75 days remaining. You should have long ago finished the design and layout of your OS. Coding and things should be well underway by now. Indeed, I expect you should be nearing the testing phase.

I was working on my entry for Micro-OS contest but it seems dead?
Maybe i should have spent all that time participating in this one... The only problem is my experience is limited to 16 bit BIOS driven. Oh well, at least i get to study these entries when the time comes. |

bitshifter: I think Coddy41 still visits occasionally, so you might still want to enter the micro-OS contest. Although, the rules there seem to change quite frequently so it is possible that the end date will be extended again for that one.
However, to all, the end date for this contest will not be changing. If you miss the deadline then you won't be able to enter. Hehe, I am a being tough for this one, the closing date is REAL also. |

I have a question even though I have nothing to do with this nice competition. Isn't the BIOS like some low-level driver for your motherboard? How will you be able to test a code if it will only work for a specific motherboard or a specific configuration?
Also isn't it somewhat (if not impossible) difficult to make a disk driver in 512 bytes? |

Borsuc: Basically, yes, you are correct, but there are still many common things that mobo hardware does.
Also, what sort of disk driver are you asking about? Floppy? USB? HDD? CD? And anyway, what sort of competition would if be if it didn't pose some sort of difficulty? With everything easy then there is no competition, just 1000 entries all the same. |

Oh my bad, I thought it was supposed to be a generic disk driver lol that's why I thought it would be impossible

sorry sorry.
but just imagine a real os contest: the principle will be the disponibility of coders, and as i know, coders are mainly disponible in winter, more exactlly, when you are full of emotions and dreams about a better world, then, i propose to change the dates of the contest. Code: month motivation useage 0% 100% january OOOOOOOOOOOOO coding february OOOOOOOOOOOO coding mars OOOOOOOOOO coding april OOOO changing may OO no code june O no code july OO no code august O no code september OOOOOO coding october OOOOOOOOOOOO coding november OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO coding december OOOOOOOOOOOOO coding start in automn. for example, the 29th october 2009. end in spring. for example, the 1st april 2010 (fool day ![]() what do you think of it? and now i return to my occupations. ![]() |

This competition will end at 25-August-2009 0508 GMT, 6 months after the announcement.
With so little talk lately I hope that means that some of you are busy coding and testing it with no time to post here. So anyhow, currently there are no submissions. If at the closing time you are the only entrant then you will win by default. Good luck. |
