Haiku R1/Alpha 1 CD

The Haiku Project has announced the availability of the R1/Alpha 1 CD at the Haiku Store. This first official Haiku CD, positioned as a commemorative item, is priced at $20 each. For each purchased CD, $15 go to the project, according to the project's announcement, so not only do you get a nicely branded Haiku CD, but you also help fund the future development of Haiku.

So, if you are among the many Haiku supporters who have been eagerly waiting for this moment, what better way to show your support than to get this commemorative Haiku CD today. R1/Alpha 1 is probably going to be a short-lived release, so hurry up, as it may not be on the shelf for too long.
