"If the users don't control the program, the program controls the users. With proprietary software, there is always some entity, the "owner" of the program, that controls the program—and through it, exercises power over its users. A nonfree program is a yoke, an instrument of unjust power."

java_grinder allows compiled java bytecode to be run on microcontrollers and older processors:

Java may be used for higher-level stuff, and custom APIs/inline assembly for the rest. This is a unique and important project to watch in 2016.
I'm tired of seeing zillions of replies to "Score:0" posts, and having to diddle around and lose my place just to see the original post. A top-level post should always be visible if there are responses to it.
I agree with the marketing problem - it's very hard to draw attention to a project or get help. This Slashdot page gives you a unique opportunity to find people who might be interested in this, so make the most of it while you can.
Do you realize that SF already removed the crapware installer? I think this happened like 2-3 days ago. There could have been a mistake or misunderstanding but that doesn't warrant being immature about the whole thing.
I use GitHub for source, SF for binaries/project web site. When development slows down I might put sources on SF in sync with the binary releases, but it's more work and I have links back to the GitHub repo anyway.
Regardless of the misunderstandings going on right now, that would be a childish solution. SF hosts my binaries for *free* and mirrors them worldwide, which I can't afford to do myself. Hopefully there are better solutions to this issue than this.
If SourceForge isn't competitive and doesn't do what their competitors do, then they won't get the business. Nobody likes crapware installers, but it's what the customers (who got the money to burn) want and expect. But isn't this over already?
[updated on 28-5-2015] Since yesterday, SourceForge Gimp-Win mirror downloads only the original software without any offers. We also invite the Gimp-Win developer to take back control of the project if that is his desire, while respectfully asking that he maintain any project updates or allow us to do so.
Slashdot Mirror
Everything else sucked after that...
No code, just another brainstorming "project", yay!
Stuff That Matters.
u rock
Dear moderators, please vote my shit up. Thanks! :)
Problem Solved!

Hopefully they will ditch Go next.

Yeah, and who would see them? Nobody, unless I link them from the website SF hosts for free.

No, don't.
