The Truth Behind the Coming “Regime Change” in Syria. After meeting again to decide Syria’s fate, the Arab League again decided to extend its “monitoring mission” in Syria.

A preliminary iOS porting effort that was undertaken earlier in 2011 demonstrated the viability of the project and showed that the open source office suite could have a future beyond the desktop. In a presentation this week at the FOSDEM conference, SUSE developer Michael Meeks shed some light on the current status of the porting project.
