  • MINIX newsgroup

    From The Running Man@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 20 10:37:36 2025
    The only active MINIX newsgroup seems to be on
    Google Newsgroups, which I find disturbing.

    Your post may be the start of a change.

    Fingers crossed!

    Google closed their copy of Usenet for posting about a year ago, so no,
    THIS is the only working MINIX newsgroup.

    .

    The Google Newsgroup (which doesn't replicate to Usenet) is
    currently still active. Last post was from 4th januari 2025.

    That Googlegroup on Minix is also quite calm.

    Seems to me interest in Minix and developement of it has stalled..

    AFAIK there are still a few developers trying to port some essential
    POSIX libraries to MINIX in order to facilitate porting Linux applications.
