In the late 90s, I bought a computer magazine that included a BeOS CD. Once installed, I was fascinated by its speed and ease of use.

It was natural for me to start following the effort to create a compatible and free BeOS clone, launched in the early 2000s. First named OpenBeOS, then renamed Haiku, this re-implementation is now stable enough for me to use it on a daily basis.

The resources below can be used by people interested in programming applications for Haiku, or to contribute to the Haiku project itself.

## Mirror site

Whenever possible, the Haiku project tries to be self-hosted. This is not without constraints for a project with limited resources, and sometimes the official hosting is not accessible.

I created a script to create a mirror and be able to access the information when the main site is not accessible: [https://barbel.synology.me/haiku/](https://barbel.synology.me/haiku/)
