[ANN] OSSwin IRC channel

JanC · Sep 1, 2004

OSSwin is a project to collect links to & info on open source programs for
Windows (which are also freeware):

<http://osswin.sourceforge.net/>

A new dynamic site with a bit more info per program, search, easier update
facilities for the mainainers, etc. is being developed at this moment.

Also, we have an IRC channel #osswin on Freenode (<http://freenode.org/>)
now. All people interested in open source software for Windows are
welcome.

Nice! Kind of a "one stop shop".

How about http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/ as a Text Editor
item?

Very nice.

Suggestion: Add ruby [http://www.ruby-lang.org], windows installer at
[http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl] to the language list
alongside perl and python.

You are right to point out the fact that these are also freeware,
seing that opensource software sometimes doesn't imply free sofware.

Thanks for the link JanC.
Another good page of opensource and free software running under
Windows is the following one :

Bart added Ruby this afternoon, but maybe he can link to the Windows
installer too.

There is a link to that site at the bottom of the osswin page. :-)
