FOSDEM (@fosdem) ’25 is this coming weekend, and Haiku will be there! Look for our stand in the “K” building, and say hello to @pulkomandy, @mmu_man, @begasus, and the other volunteers representing the project.

💡 Have a custom keyboard layout? Configure it in Haiku using the Keymap preferences: drag & drop to swap keys, drop in special characters from CharacterMap, etc. More details: https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/preferences/keymap.html

💡 Did you know? You can open paths & links from command output in Haiku’s Terminal by holding the Command key (usually ‘Alt’) and then clicking on them. (It even handles line:column suffixes!)

New to Haiku, or been a while since you’ve used it? Consider taking a trip through the “Quick Tour”, an introduction to Haiku in less than 20 slides. https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/welcome/en/quicktour.html

🎉 Haiku R1/beta5 has been released! https://www.haiku-os.org/get-haiku/r1beta5/release-notes/

If you’re curious about what goes in to developing Haiku’s user interface, you might be interested in checking out “Insight Factory”, a screenshot-filled blog run by Haiku developer Skipp_OSX. https://insightfactory.tumblr.com/

💡 Did you know? You can change the system time on Haiku by dragging the hands of the clock in the Time preferences panel.
