I visited their site. While I like their tournament fee
schedule (a $100 tournament has a $9 entry fee), I can't
see why I should be excited -- even interested -- that they
have a non-open source client that won't run on an open
source platform?? I've noticed over the last 8 years or so
how freshmeat.net has become more and more of a stage
for closed source release announcements and less and less
of a place to get "fresh meat".
On the freshmeat "About" page is the following
sentence:
freshmeat maintains the Web's largest index of
Unix and cross-platform software, themes and related
"eye-candy", and Palm OS software. Thousands of
applications, which are preferably released under an open
source license, are meticulously cataloged in the freshmeat
database, and links to new applications are added daily.
[...]
freshmeat is the first stop for Linux users hunting for
the software they need for work or play. [...]
Perhaps its time to push the "open source" a little
further. Because I for one am finding that freshmeat is no
longer pertinent to my Unix/Linux business.
