Even though this announcement list has been quiet for some time, SEUL is still moving forward. The gEDA project is posting weekly (if irregular) releases of their EDA software, Independence is close to having an alpha distribution, Doug has a solid draft of his "Commercial Port Advocacy Howto" written, and we've started several new groups to coordinate other projects on the Internet -- for instance, recently we've started the seul education project and the linux KB (knowledge base) project. You'll hear about them soon. Also, we have a new frontpage for the website. I decided to cut everything down to just what we're working on right now, so it's easier to navigate and easier to track status. "Simple is good." Note that frames are now gone. :) This note is just to let you know that I hope to start posting more regular status updates for progress in the SEUL world. Linux is getting a lot of publicity these days, and more people are starting to work towards making it an end-user-friendly environment. For those that missed the Halloween announcements or only skimmed them, note that SEUL is mentioned in http://www.opensource.org/halloween2.html -- it's time to prove to Microsoft that the Linux community is wider and more resourceful than the small subsection they've seen so far.
