4th February 2010: Relaunch!
Welcome to the new relaunched Simplicity Linux website.  It looks prettier (I think) and it's a little more organised.  Plus we have a real commenting system now.  Not inline comments which were an interesting experiment, but the code didn't work particularly well.  Now each post will have a seperate comment section.  Please be aware, a lot of the links on the page don't work yet.  We're working on it!

So, what has happened in the first four days since the launch of Simplicity Linux 10.1?  Well, we had our standard meeting where we sit in a coffee shop for an hour and write down any ideas we have for the next release of Simplicity Linux.  We call this our Blue Sky meeting.  Nothing is too strange or ambitious.  Some of the features mentioned in this quarter's meeting were Bluetooth support, mobile internet support and touchscreen support.  We also decided that Obsidian should have a real release.  Obsidian is kind of a stripped down Netbook Edition.  It's designed for fast booting and getting you online as fast as possible.  Because of this I cut out the open wifi autoconnect, and the network manager.  And all the web apps are gone too.  You get music access, video access, photo access and a full screen browser which goes to iGoogle, where you can install all kinds of web apps. 

So, let me know what you think about Obsidian, and the upcoming Simplicity Linux 10.4
