GNOME Gets its Own Software Repository

Posted by simoniker on from the gnomic-inspiration dept.

PostThis writes "After the attack to the Gnome servers a few months back the Gnome Project was left without a third party software repository (which wasn't that usable anyway). The gap was filled in very recently by GnomeFiles.org. The site was built using BeBits as a model (BeOS users still swear by it) and they are looking into filling up their Gnome/GTK+ software database quickly; they are offering prizes to Gnome developers who will submit an app during the first week of the site's launch."

      The FSF asks us to boycott Amazon.com because of the one click patent.

      This is not true. FSF has in fact ended the boycott.
