BeGeistert is an annual (formerly semiannual) users' and developers' conference for the open source operating system Haiku.〔''Haiku Support Association'' (2014). ("BeGeistert" ). Retrieved on October 24, 2014.〕 The conference usually takes place over a weekend in the autumn of each year in Düsseldorf, Germany. The programme typically consists of demonstrations by European software vendors, coding demonstrations, and workshops and presentations on advancements made in developing Haiku. == History == BeGeistert originally started as a BeOS conference, playing an important part in its community. For example, developers and representatives of Be Europe and other important contributors attended the conference in the late 1990s. This history is reflected in the conference name, as the use of capitalization in the German word "begeistert" (meaning: "excited") alludes to Be Inc., the developer of the BeOS. After the bankruptcy of Be Inc. caused the BeOS to be discontinued in the early 2000s, the conference was attended by representatives of the two projects deriving from the BeOS: ZETA, a closed source commercial initiative by yellowTAB based on the source code of an unreleased version of the BeOS, and the Haiku project, an initiative to create an open source operating system that is inspired by and compatible with the latest official release of the BeOS. After yellowTAB's insolvency in 2006, the conference's focus shifted entirely to Haiku. In 2007, feathers similar to those in the Haiku logo were added to the BeGeistert logo to reflect this shift. The conference is organized and partially funded by the ''Haiku Support Association e.V.'', formerly ''BeFAN e.V.'',〔''Haiku Support Association'' (2014). ("CodeSprint" ). Retrieved on October 24, 2014.〕 and also supported by Haiku, Inc. Between 2004 and 2006, Haiku, Inc. also organized an official annual Haiku conference in various places in the United States under the name "WalterCon", which was discontinued due to a "lack of community interest" for the 2007 conference.〔Darkwyrm (July 24, 2007).
