LaunchPad 开始开放源代码

Launchpad是Ubuntu社区进行开发和Bug跟踪的一个程序。之前因为一直没有开放源代码而饱受争议。Canonical终于对在Launchpad的开源问题上迈出了第一步。这次开放源代码的Launchpad组件代号“Storm”,使用GPL v.2协议发布。

"Storm is an ORM that simplifies the development of database-backed applications in Python, especially for projects that use very large databases or multiple databases with a seamless Web front end,"
"Storm is particularly designed to feel very natural to Python programmers, and exposes multiple databases as stores in a clean and easy to use fashion."
"We're excited about using Storm for Launchpad and that it is being released as open source. Storm's API is clear and well-designed, making it a joy to work with,"
"The scalability advantages of Storm's architecture are important for us to ensure that Launchpad continues to perform well as the number of Launchpad users grows."

我在Launchpad上也有一个帐号。为Ubuntu翻译过一些词条,但是因为平时比较忙,所以做的事情不多。 :P
