Video download link



Summary: Some news about the site and about the long-forgotten SCO, whose infamous old (and sacked) Darl McBride (responsible for decade-long attacks on Linux) loses everything, based on fresh legal documents

THIS weekend has been exceptionally busy for us, hence not many articles so far.

He became completely irrelevant if not inactive in Twitter.



"Hopefully António and his "Mafia" (or cabal) will be gone soon; the Administrative Council needs to recognise the severity of the entryism."Some time soon we plan to release some AGPLv3-licensed code, mostly Gemini stuff (but not limited to Gemini).

Darl McBrideWe're still thinking whether to create new facilities or methods by which to leak information to us. The leaks have had a very positive effect for EPO staff. António Campinos has lost his mind and revealed himself to be loyal to Team Battistelli, not to EPO staff. Hopefully António and his "Mafia" (or cabal) will be gone soon; the Administrative Council needs to recognise the severity of the entryism.
