There’s been a lot of talk recently about the new Eudora adoption into the Mozilla project . But there is another PIM and email project that is interesting, it’s the Chandler Project.

The Chandler Project is an open source, standards-based personal information manager (PIM) built around small group collaboration and a core set of information management workflows modelled on Inbox usage patterns and David Allen’s GTD methodology. Chandler is sponsored by the Mitch Kapor lead Open Source Applications Foundation.

iritant writes “As we were discussing, Gran Paradiso — the latest version of Firefox — is nearing release. Gran Paradiso includes a form of malware protection that checks every URL against a known list of sites. It does so by sending each URL to Google. In other words, if people enable this feature, they get some malware protection, and Google gets a wealth of information about which sites are popular (or, for that matter, which sites should be checked for malware). Fair deal? Not to worry — the feature is disabled by default.”

Has the OLPC project and the “Sugar” OS piqued your interest with all the press coverage it has received? Thankfully since the whole project was created with an open source mission, users can easily download the OLPC OS (Which is a fork of Red Hat) and run on any hardware they see fit.

If you run VMWare (Player for PC or Fusion for Mac) we made it easy by making available a pre-configured VMWare image of the OLPC OS that is already customized (and has networking enabled) that you can download here. To use the VMWare image just open the configuration file in VMWare.
