Marc-Andre is making good progress and to give some proof head over to his blog and watch the screencast. The blog gives some report of whats done and whats next. We kindly ask everyone who is interested to leave comments. It would be good to get some feedback to ease making decissions about the next steps.
opensuse progress
Got most of the stuff in shape. I'll use Gentoo and Ubuntu on my other machines and it was amazing how much stuff I had to install from source on opensuse (bzr, hddtemp, sensors-applet, ...). One very annoying thing is: 192928. Hope it can be fixed.

I am also back hacking on my pet project. Still alone :( Got some GUI bugs fixed and working on analyzer windows. That means you can tap into wires and see levels and frequency charts.
