Thumbs up Congrats Ani, Mac4Lin gets the page!


Our very own Anirudh's (infra_red_dude) Mac4Lin project has gotten it's page in LinuxForYou magazine.

Page - 43
Mac4Lin - 63.33 - sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin
OpenLX - 61.40 - openlx.com
Anjuta - 61.00 - anjuta.org
HarvestMan - 60.00 - harvestmanontheweb.com
Get it I say - 59.00 - freshmeat.net/project/giis

An excerpt:
Quote:
Mac4Lin is a UI enhancement project that attempts to redress the persistent complaint that work on many Linux more 'desktop-friendly' is not progressing fast enough.

The Project kicked off when Anirudh Acharya, a young open source enthusiast from Bangalore, taught himself GTK+ and decided to bring the Mac touch to the FOSS world. A one man army, Acharya continues to put in efforts to enhance Mac4Lin and make it compatible with other desktop systems.
As obvious I can't reproduce the entire content here. So those who want get the mag and read the article. On a personal level, they kept referring to him as Acharya, I thought Anirudh sounded better

Good going Ani, Rock on!!

PS: And please do enter it in next year's FOSS awards with them major changes. As they said, Apple wouldn't like it lol.
