Progeny Debian Halts The NOW Project

Posted by Hemos on from the bad-econoomic-times dept.

nicedream writes "Debian Planet is reporting that Progeny is killing the NOW project. " A reader also submitted the actual e-mail from Ian Murdock ? . It appears that the current economic climate has had an adverse effect on Progeny - which is not surprising. Ian's also got some musings on the state of computing/networking, which outline some of the thoughts behind the NOW project.

    Who do these people think they are? Killing the National Organization of Women! The Progeny of white, middle-class, men, that's who. Rise up, my sisters, and fight the system!

    >>Please, when refering to this, call it the Progeny NOW project, to distinguish it from the NOW project [berkeley.edu].

    Which, according to the web site, ended 3 years ago. Does that mean that they now call the project THEN?
