GNOME in the Year of the Monkey

Posted by michael on from the timmah! dept.

An anonymous reader writes "GNOME Foundation's Tim Ney describes some of the project's efforts marking the Lunar New Year of the Monkey with a tip, "Never sit with your back to a lobbyist for proprietary software." GNOME is rapidly becoming popular in developing countries and you can donate to help."

  1. This lunar year by Mod+Me+God+Too · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Is a lunar leap year meaning it has 13 lunar months. Coincidence?

    It is not the commies, the government, the nigger, nor the corporates. It is your paranoia.

  2. China is rising by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    have you been noticing how with each passing year, the number of times China is mentioned in the news, culturally, and in general conversation increases at the same rate as its GDP growth?

    Truly, I expect we'll be learning Chinese en masse in a few decades, all the movies will be in Chinese, and we'll have to wait for software to be translated. You think this won't happen? They would've said the same about English replacing French once.

      Dude, the movies have all been in Chinese since Bruce Lee. What rock have you been hiding under? Go rent Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. They aren't even bothering to overdub them anymore they feel so confident.
