One of the core GNUstep developers, Richard Frith-Macdonald, posted a great recap of the entire FOSDEM from the GNUstep perspective. It’s a great, very accurate read, and, as my Etoile-buddy Nicolas says: “it makes you want to go to the fosdem :)”.
Well, this weekend we released the Etoile LiveCD, version 0.2 Developer Preview. There are an insane amount of bugs, and we were trying to keep it somewhat hush-hush until we had time to fix them all. However, the news got posted to OSNews.com, and the feedback was actually predominantly positive. My favorite comment was this one:
Just browsing the screenshots made me more excited than I’ve been for a while about unix desktops.
I do believe exciting times are ahead for the Etoile team ;)
