When it comes to April Fool's day, even, or perhaps especially, the Ubuntu developers have a sense of humor. As a little thank you present to all their users, they've pushed out a little April Fools prank of their own. I don't want to spoil it for you, but you might not think of yourself as such a good casual gamer after this.
Gnote was started on April 2009 with the goal of providing a Free Software implementation of Tomboy that doesn't rely on Mono.For our testing purposes, I installed Gnote 0.5.1 on Ubuntu Jaunty through a personal PPA. I would love to see it packaged in Ubuntu officially in the near future.
Today, on April 1st, semi-satire technology community Linsux.org has launched their own monthly magazine to compete with the more popular "Linux Format" And no, it's not an April Fool's joke. This seriously is the first issue.
Tomboy's role in GNOME has made it a troublesome component that grabs an entire Mono stack into many GNU/Linux distributions. For reasons that were brought up before, the TomTom lawsuit teaches everyone why Mono does not belong in GNU/Linux.
Tomboy is a desktop note-taking application for Linux and Unix. Simple and easy to use, but with potential to help you organize the ideas and information you deal with every day. Tomboy is written in C# and utilizes the Mono runtime and Gtk#. Automatic spell-checking is provided by GtkSpell.
