The new official repository of Rapache is now hosted on Github at this address https://github.com/tacone/rapache A README.md file with instructions and notes has been added, and Observable.py has been relicensed to LGPL3. Other than that, it’s the same source code still available on Launchpad (which I have no control on anymore as I don’t have an account anymore, there).

A step back from the open source
One month ago, I created my first Android app. While the app was a paid one, the reception has been outstanding. I’ve gotten a fair amount of mails from the users, encouraging me and thanking me for improving their daily life. This is something much different from what we experienced with Rapache. While there have been people speaking about it around, I dare to say it’s very little compared to Clip Ninja. Rapache has been …
Facebook shuts down EventPress development.
When you’re a big company, especially one that makes its money on free web services and advertising, it’s very easy to say you love open source. Open Source will get you nice PR, and you may even release parts of your code to get even better PR. Sadly, things don’t always work as you expect them to. The legal department of Facebook has recently forbidden EventPress developer, Kunal Bhalla, to continue his (brilliant) work on …
Rapache returns ?

I say WOW, check it for out yourself: http://stud.hro.nl/0814604/jslinuxdemo/emulator.html
Steve Jobs passes away
Steve Jobs passed away some hour ago. Love or hate Apple products, you still have to admit he had a big impact on the world. He proved that passion for beauty and simplicity and nicely crafted objects pays off, no matter what engineers say. RIP Steve Jobs. (oh, by the way, this video pisses me off)
SparkleShare, the new iFolder ?
Like already stated, the only thing Mono is really worth for, is creating DropBox competitors. Jokes aside, I came around this repository, today: https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare Will this work, will it not ? The first to give me good informations on SparkleShare will win a free copy of MonoDevelop. http://www.sparkleshare.org/
