Unity Technologies has announced something they are calling 'Open Projects' which is an Open Source Game Development campaign that is very interesting! We've got a LOT of App Releases to talk about this week with the Geary (Email Client) 3.38, Virt Manager 3.0, and two new applications that are quite interesting which are Cabin: a tool to create simple apps for Linux with natural language programming, and an app that helps you find duplicates, big files, empty folders, etc called Czkawka. And in the "is this really happening" segment . . . apparently Purism has decided to create their own Cellular Service for a phone that still doesn't exist.
