[Foresight-devel] ANNOUNCEMENT: Foresight Packaging Contest

[Paul Cutler]

I am pleased to announce a contest, sponsored by Shuttle, for
packaging new applications for Foresight.

The contest runs April 1st - April 30th 2008.

The objective of the contest is to add packages to the Foresight
repository.  Are there packages you wish were in Foresight?  Now is
the time to make a package request in JIRA!

There will be a Q&A session regarding the contest in Foresight's IRC
