Final. The community has changed, QSSL has changed; the little guy is dead. :-/
I will probably start an “Ottawa Antique Computer Collectors Group” at some
point – any takers?

Hey Robert,
I hope I don’t sound too ignorant, but how can the ‘little guy’ be dead? We
get lots of support from QSSL on an individual basis. Look at the patience
their employees show when answering my dumb questions on this newsgroup.
Can you elaborate?

I’d almost rather not 
However, since you asked nicely
Yes, support has been great from a technical point of view. I have absolutely
no complaints in that department. Where I see the shift is from the QNX 2
and QNX 4 days of small companies being able to cooperatively market things
with QSSL (e.g., QNX News, Third Party handbook, the Conferences), versus
the current environment where trying to do any cooperative marketing is
almost impossible.
Remember the good old days, when you’d publish a piece of code and “the
community” would adopt it, give you feedback, send in patches, promote it,
etc? I’ve run the “free” section on my website and have noticed just about
zero feedback – so either the software must be flawless or no-one is
using it, or … ? I’m leaning towards the middle one, where no-one is
using it. Or training videos – hard to sell those to the “big
companies” who would rather go with the complete solution for training from
QSSL, rather than look/research for other solutions from the “little guy”.
Don’t take my comments as “uh oh, RK is getting bitter” – it’s not
intended that way. All that’s happening is that I’m looking at what the
impact of current environment is on my product offerings. I will survive
one way or another
And Kevin, I really don’t mind talking about this – just don’t want to
start a flame war Ask away!

number of people who use it. With ESS audio drivers it was even funnier.

Well, let me just state for the record, “Thanks for the ESS Audio Driver, Igor”.
I use it successfully on my portable!
Your sentiment is not really about QNX per say. It is just general state of
the affairs in the computer industry. Some 10 years ago PC was still quite a
freak’s gadget. If people had it, they had it for a reason usually beyond
listening to MP3 and surfing web. They were researching and experimenting.
Possibilities were endless >
And look at it now, it is a bloody comsumer electronics item practically.
The software and capabilities have evolved so much that it is simply not
interesting for most people (even programmers) anymore to tinker with little
itty bitty programs. Waste of time…
Yeah, that’s correct (unfortunately). Which is why I am going “retro”
and collecting old ones. Much more fun to play with a computer that’s
heavier than you are
So indeed, only bogger players are still doing something. And yes, they
prefer to deal with other bigger players. It is natural course of the
things.
Yup; nature of the biz. That’s why I said (in another posting in this
thread) not to take it as me being discouraged, just coming to the realization
that “things have changed” (and the little guy is dead ).
Or training videos – hard to sell those to the “big
companies” who would rather go with the complete solution for training
from
QSSL, rather than look/research for other solutions from the “little guy”.
Personally, I would not buy training videos. They are only good for plain &
simple stuff, that does not require much of thinking/digesting (i.e., when
the only problem is conveying the information). If I were to spend money on
learning, I’d rather have someone to talk to. Good learning IMHO only
happens when things get discussed. I think the discussion is more important
than the handouts or notes or whatever way is used to present the
information.
The people who have bought the training videos have been very happy with
them – it’s a personal “learning style” type of thing, of course.
Cheers,
-RK

Is QNX going where most of the industry has already gone? The ‘big’
products with big markets have big production teams and don’t want any
help. So many products are out there that there is little opportunity to
do better, especially if you are only better at one little part. QNX 6
is probably the last best place to produce stuff people need, but QNX
Ltd. is making more and more of the good stuff, and there seems to be
little money, or even user feedback, in what is left.

I have to drive roughly 1.5 Hrs to and from work everyday. If software
techinical training could be provided in any meaningful-way on audio CD then
I think we might have something. Of course the CD would also have to be
accompanied by written traning material.

You’ll be surprise, but if you put those examples that you have created
in a CD, people will buy it even if the examples are freely available in
your web page. Also, you may want to create another book explaining in
detail what the examples do, and why, etc. Then include the CD in the
book. Sell two versions: one with no CD for US$39.99, and the other
-same book- with a CD for 49.99. And yes, even if your other books say
the same thing, people with different tastes will buy different versions
of your books. I have seen individuals with five different copies of
Linux books, and all those books say the same thing over and over. You
may want to create more avenues for your knowledge to get rewarded, that
is all.
…and also, every time that QSSL comes with a new version of the OS,
you release a new version of your books. I see this all the time in
Barnes & Noble.

That’s a major problem for me – in order to get a good price on the
printing of the books, I need to commit to a large number of them.
It takes a while to chew through all that inventory. I’d certainly
hate to have to recycle the “old” versions just because QSSL added
a new library with 6 function calls…

Good question. Even slowly moving ATM from QNX4 to some another system i’m
not willing to stop reading or posting @QUICS It’s just for fun, for for
QNX itself. OS is OS, there are many of them for any tastes, and people are
people.

One of the things we came up with at the last meeting was that
it would be far more “effective” to have some form of agenda,
something to actually talk about. It turns out that of the
population attending the meetings, there would be anywhere from
zero to 5 customers (usually around 2), 2 to 6 QSSL staffers (usually
around 3), and me (usually 1 ). So, I kinda felt that my
efforts to reach a wider audience were limited …
So, no, QSSL did not steal my beer
