Amiga/40th is almost starting. Check out the Youtube stream!

As posted on the Amiga/40th website.

It’s been ten years since the highly successful Amiga 30th in Mountain View, California.  Over the last ten years, we have seen an incredible vibrancy in the global Amiga community.  With projects like the Vampire, Emu68K, and Amiga OS 3.2 combined with AROS, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS, never has there been so much activity and energy for the Commodore Amiga and its many derivatives.

2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the Commodore Amiga 1000 release.   The AMIGA/040th Silicon Valley will be the central theme at the amazing VCF West show.  Happening at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA, we will offer all attendees a unique area on the show floor. In this area, you will explore the Saga of the Amiga Computer–before Commodore, during its golden era, and beyond…  Expect to see unique historical artifacts from the personal collection of Dale Luck, the latest Amiga Community innovations like AmigaOS 3.2 and OS 4, alongside groundbreaking hardware projects such as Emu68k, and PiStorm.

Alkmaar Amiga Meetup 2024: A Next-Gen Review!

The Alkmaar Amiga Meetup on November 30th, 2024 proved once again that the Amiga community is alive and kicking, with a strong focus on the future! Organized by the ever-enthusiastic Paul Koster of Amigascene.nl, the event drew in Amiga fans from all over the Netherlands and even some dedicated German “Amigans.”

This year’s theme, “Amiga Next-Gen,” put the spotlight on the exciting developments pushing the platform forward. Attendees were treated to a showcase of AmigaOne X5000 machines running AmigaOS 4, with prominent community members like @geennaam (creator of the Next-Gen HD Audio drivers), @skateman, and @PaulKoster demonstrating their impressive capabilities. @oldfart bravely brought his open-case X5000, which unfortunately suffered some boot-up hiccups. But in true Amiga community spirit, fellow enthusiasts jumped in to help, successfully resurrecting the machine!

Beyond the impressive hardware, the meetup provided a fantastic opportunity for Amigans to connect, share their passion, and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. Luxury sandwiches, hot snacks, and a steady flow of drinks kept everyone fueled throughout the day. The organizers even provided free parking and trolleys for transporting equipment, ensuring a smooth and convenient experience for all.

The Alkmaar Amiga Meetup 2024 was a resounding success, demonstrating that the Amiga spirit is thriving. With passionate individuals driving innovation and a supportive community fostering collaboration, the future of Amiga looks bright!
