Greetings all. . .in what will hopefully be remembered as one of the cooler contributions to the linux gaming scene by a major developer, Brandon Reinhart has open sourced some rather major chunks of the Linux Unreal Tournament client. Any coders/gamers who would be interested in joining the OpenUT project or contributing ideas should check out http://openut.sourceforge.net/ According to Mr Reinhart: "The bottom line is this: I like to play kick ass games. The Linux port of UT is not kick ass. I don't have the time to make it better, so instead of having it languish on my harddrive I'll give it out to anyone who wants it. You don't have to do anything with it. You could take it and write cool stuff and if you want you could contribute it to me. Its all voluntary." I believe he also stated that he is using this as somewhat of a testbed to get Epic Games interested in more Open Source/Linux Projects . . .Chalk another one up for Open Source. . .
