We figured it was time for an update as a long time Genesi/bplan supporter responded to an email we sent out this morning to the Image Installer Team and suggested we make some of the information public. The email was primarily sent to thank Michael Heider, Christian Geier and Erhard Bruse for their continued support. Here are some details included in the email:

...

Pegasos Review

24-May-2004

Paris, France -- By Decree of the President of the Republic, 14 May 2004, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Michel Barnier has conferred the Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite (Knight of the National Order of Merit) on William H. Buck, Co-General Manager of Genesi.

"For me this recognition is a source of considerable pride," said Buck.

The National Order of Merit rewards meritorious service to society. It is the second-highest civilian award accorded by France. Its insignia is a star with six double branches in blue enamel, surmounted by a crown of crossed oak-leaves. In its center, framed by laurel-leaves, figures an effigy of the Republic with, in exergue, "République Français."

As of today there is the new Gallery range of "Leser Rechner" within the Interactive area of the Amiga Future homepage.
