Granular Project

We are pleased to announce that the Granular repository has a new mirror. The mirror is a complete replica of our main repo hosted on granularproject.org. So, in case you get low download speeds from the main repo or the main repo goes down, you can always use this new repo mirror in those cases.

To get started, add this information in Synaptic Package Manager:
URI: http://cz-lxweb.com/content/repo/
Distribution: granular/2008
Section(s): e17 kde main extras

Additionally, there is a "test" section that can be added to the above sections list.

Instructions on adding a new repo in Synaptic can be found on our wiki page.

On-Disk in an online shopping place where you can purchase your favorite Linux distro burned on a CD/DVD. If you are on a slow Internet connection and cannot download the CD image of Granular, On-Disk is the way to go. You may also want to purchase a Granular CD from there to help support the Granular Project financially, as a part of the cost per CD sold is contributed toward the Granular Project by On-Disk.

To quote from On-Disk's own website:

On-Disk.com was the first Open Source product distribution service to be geared specifically to help these hard working developers pay the bills. To this day, this is our primary goal.

The newsletter for the month of October is out. This is the 6th edition of Granular Newsletter. 5th edition was in September 2008.

Catch it here: http://www.granularproject.org/content/newsletter/2008/10/

Let me remind the readers that the newsletter is a semi-regular one and not monthly.

It is my pleasure to announce the availability of Granular 1.0 RC, the last development release before the final Granular 1.0. This release is more stable, user-friendly, usable, and more fun to use. Quite some bugs have been fixed, improvements made, updates done; thanks to your constant feedback on the previous release (Granular 1.0 Preview).

Granular 1.0 will be the most ambitious release for the Granular Project, and this release is just another step in that direction.

I want to thank all the developers and contributors in Team Granular and all the members of Granular Community Forums who helped achieve this release.

The Team Blog of the Granular Project has been restarted to let the visitors/users/subscribers know about the latest happenings in Team Granular, to make updates in the development of Granular, and to interact with the users & visitors.
