Hello, "Brian Paul, the author of Mesa, was laid off by VA Linux. Other places are reporting that Keith Whitwell of the DRI project was also laid off. Presumably just two of many major contributors to open source, but honestly I don't really know who got the axe." >From comments: "Where it's really going to hit hard is in the decline of sourceforge.net. They pushed so hard to get everyone off the many free software portals of 1999 that when sourceforget.net eventually founders it's going to wipe out most of what we know as open source projects." "They've already eliminated ftp servers, most shell services, and they're pretty much reading off the handbook of service eliminations that every other open source portal took last year before it shut down." "I guess it's about time to save all those precious sourceforge projects CVS bits elsewhere before everything is shut down and it's too late." http://slashdot.org/articles/01/09/16/1752227.shtml -- Best regards, Eugene mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Avifile mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://prak.org/mailman/listinfo/avifile
