Actiontastic will be free and open source

Actiontastic icon Actiontastic is a cool GTD application by Jon Crosby. Until now we were teased by expiring beta releases, but Jon decided to open-source it!

Opening up this project for community participation is the best possible thing that I can think of doing for its future. Great things are on the horizon for that sweet intersection of the web and the desktop. I would rather discuss them openly and collaborate with other like-minded people than hide any of the details just to make another $29 shareware sale. I am not opposed to the idea of shareware in general and have purchased quite a bit of it myself over the past year. It’s just that shareware isn’t the right path for Actiontastic.

I really like this approach of free, tweakable, open-source software, associated with a paying hosted service (like Actionatr) for those who want all the benefits without bothering themselves with maintaining infrastructure.

Fosdem 2006

Posted by Damien Pollet Thu, 23 Feb 2006 22:49:00 GMT

This weekend I’ll be attending the Fosdem in Bruxelles.

Between two beers, I’ll most probably spend most of my time with the Étoilé guys, getting started with GNUstep, hacking on the Nokia 770 or doing Smalltalk stuff.

See you there!
