Applications

New:

  • OpenTTD. An open source clone of the popular Transport Tycoon Deluxe game.

Updated:

  • TwitterMoko O.4. Packaging improvements following suggestions by experienced Debian Dev.
  • Gpsdcontrol 0.4. A Python script to turn on/off gpsd and gps antenna from the desktop. Add: icon changes to show GPS system state.

Distributions

  • Koolu's Android git is online at http://git.koolu.org/. Look like this tree is maintained by Brian Code, but then who is Sean McNeil is working for ?
  • The Debian wiki page needs (had, CJW?) a good cleanup.

Community

  • Android really jumped up in the hit-parade of the most popular pages.
  • By popular demand, Openmoko opened a virtual merchandise store online. Everybody is invited to post cool t-shirts design. Profits will go to bounties and other programs to aid the community.
  • The FreeRunner is on the cover of December's Linux for You magazine.
  • The community is trying out the bounty system at cofundos.org. As a start, there is one offer for the accelerated X driver, but media player, volume control/mixer, wifi network manager have also been discussed. This is still a social experiment. We need help and more discussion to define the bounties and claim conditions more precisely.
