[orca-list] Vinux - The new name for Vibuntu!

["Anthony Sales" <tony sales rncb ac uk>]

I am happy to announce that we have now rebranded Vibuntu as Vinux after discussion with Canonical about the use of the 'buntu' suffix. They were happy to let us call it the Ubuntu VI Remix but we decided to go with Vinux which now recursively stands for Vinux Is Not Ubuntu but gnu/Linux! We have been busy creating a new website, mailing list and development blog and hope to have a new release out soon - Vinux 1.3! The URL's are:

 

Homepage: http://vinux.org.uk/
Development Forum/Mailing List:
http://groups.google.com/group/vinux-development
Development Blog: http://vinux-development.blogspot.com/

 

There are already threads created on the forum/mailing list for bugs reports, suggestions, help and advice and user profiles, but you are free to start new threads on different topics if appropriate. We do not expect there to be very high traffic initially and we will still post significant new release annoucements on other related mailing lists. The development team currently consists of myself, Tony Sales (aka drbongo) as the main developer and Osvaldo La Rosa (aka ald0) who is responsible for web administration etc. We would of course welcome support from people who would like to contribute to the project in any way at all. I will be posting a list of small modular tasks which people might like to take on board as needs arise. Ideally I would like to have a core development team of 3 to 6 individuals, with specific responsibilities and a looser collection of individuals who would contribute on an adhoc basis when required.

 

The project is still very much in its infancy and there is plenty of scope for evolution...

 

Hope to hear from you soon, drbongo and ald0.
