Feb 04 00:44 |
| [H]omer |
/home/deadbeef/.plan: May 4, 2004 – “For a long time I’ve been contemplating (and discussing with friends) moving all of my software development over to open platforms. It’s something I really want to do, but unfortunately I haven’t yet been able to bring myself to it. Partly because I know win32 so well, and partly because a lot of the apps I’m used to using aren’t available on other platforms. And the other part is that the userb |

ases are so much smaller, and while I don’t really care about the commercial implications of that, it does mean I can’t take shit over to friends’ houses and try it out (though maybe Knoppix is a good way to mitigate around that). But I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to ready. It just seems like the right thing to be doing, especially given the way win32 is headed.” |

The History, And The Future |
Feb 04 00:44 |
| [H]omer |
Some say it was inevitable, but recent entries in Justin Frankel’s .plan confirm that he’s gradually making the move away from Windows, and towards OSS and GNU/Linux. |
Feb 04 00:44 |
| schestowitz |
[H]omer: I think I saw that before. |
Feb 04 00:44 |
| [H]omer |
For those who haven’t been following the development of Nullsoft and Winamp, here’s a summary: |
Feb 04 00:44 |
| [H]omer |
Frankel was an archetypal anti-establishment drop-out, with whizz-kid potential, who went on to do things “his own way”. After emerging from a larval stage of discovery, based on old-school style hacking, he went on to create (what is arguably) the most famous Media Player in the world, Winamp. The company Frankel founded to distribute this software, Nullsoft, was subsequently (and predictably) subject to takeover by none other tha |
Feb 04 00:44 |
| [H]omer |
n that industry giant AOL. Frankel would, most likely, use a less complementary description. |
Feb 04 00:44 |
| [H]omer |
AOL got more than they bargained for, however, since Frankel’s outlook was not compatible with AOL’s corporate strategy, as they quickly discovered. Tensions increased between the mismatched partners, and came to a head with the release of Gnutella, the world’s first (widely available) decentralised P2P file sharing software, which Frankel touted as a solution to the (legally untenable) centralised server based Napster. With AOL’s |
Feb 04 00:44 |
| [H]omer |
plans to merge with another industry giant, media company Time Warner, the development and distribution of P2P software was in direct opposition to their goals, and they demanded Frankel remove the offending software. As you can imagine, Frankel was not happy, however the deed was done, the word (and the code) was spread, and the rest is history. |
Feb 04 00:44 |
| schestowitz |
foobeaf: welcome. Error are not an issue; it’s about ideas |
Feb 04 00:44 |
| [H]omer |
Under AOL’s direction, the once streamlined, efficient and powerful media player, Winamp 2.x, became the hideously bloated and unstable monster, Winamp 3.x. In fact, users’ antipathy towards Winamp 3 was so strong, that a new 2.9 version (based on the older 2.x code) was released to appease them. |
Feb 04 00:45 |
| [H]omer |
Undeterred, Frankel continued development towards version 5 (using the v2.x code as a starting point, but integrating the more useful features of v3.x), which was finally released in December 2003. It was to be his swansong with AOL. Having achieved all he set out (or as much as he was willing) to do with Winamp, in January 2004 he resigned from (what is now) AOL Time Warner, the company that had so vigorously stifled his creativit |
Feb 04 00:45 |
| [H]omer |
y. |
Feb 04 00:45 |
| [H]omer |
Multimedia software is one of the few remaining weak areas of GNU/Linux, but the arrival of one of the industry’s most talented multimedia developers could begin to change all that. However, Frankel is still in the early stages of transition, so we might still have to wait a while longer. |
Feb 04 00:45 |
| [H]omer |
With an impressive portfolio that includes such titles as Winamp, SHOUTcast, Gnutella and WASTE, Frankel would bring a special talent (if not the actual original software) to the OSS community; quite an exciting prospect. |
Feb 04 00:45 |
| [H]omer |
Our enthusiasm for the addition of such a potentially valuable contributer to GNU/Linux is only matched by his own, as he states in a later .plan entry, “Anyway, it’s all exciting for me, and addicting. mmm.” |
Feb 04 00:45 |
| [H]omer |
I’m sure Frankel will quickly discover, that the OSS environment is much more conducive to creativity than the oppressive regime at AOL Time Warner, in fact we may well see his best work yet. |
