[Haifux] [HAIFUX LECTURE] KDE 4 - The Good, The Bad, and The Broken - Dotan Cohen

[Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda]

Hi Raz

It is the other way round - it is the Ben-Yehuda Project's software.
The Project's home page: http://benyehuda.org/
The talk will deal with software written especially for the needs of this
project, for which no available software existed (not even closed source).
All this software is free or will be released soon.
