After a long weekend, it was scary to get back to thousands
of emails, sometimes I'm very glad to have filters, and
other times, like today I go further and wonder how I'd cope
without them! :)
Wow, Evolution 1.0 is out! Bling bling! Took
a while to build, but it's super-schweet. I'm not 100% sure
about the proprietary release of the Exchange connector
being a good thing, while I recognise that Ximian need to
make money to remain viable and fund Free Software
development, I still think that you can make money from Free
Software. Also, making software GPL does not mean you have
to make it freely downloadable. They could produce the
connector GPL, but still make it available by sale only,
provided they provided the source with it.
(If any Ximian folks read this, maybe they could comment in
their diary?)
All that said, I can't help but feel that the most important
thing is that even with it's proprietary license, it will be
implemented in such a way as not to violate the GPL when
used in conjunction with Evo.
Well, it now appears I'm going to be the project leader on
the Win2Lin FAQ. It goes without saying, I'm very honoured
to take on that role, and will try to ensure that it becomes
a very useful document for those wishing to make the switch.
It's "The Big Jam" at church tonight. All the musicians in
the church (and I think there are more than 60 of us, even
more if you count drummers ;)) getting together to jam
through a few songs, should be good good fun.
