Subject: [poky] Poky Version 3.1 (Pinky) Released

It gives me great pleasure to announce a new release of Poky, version
3.1 (Pinky).

Poky 3.1 is released! We've been hard at work for this one, mainly deep in the guts to make it more portable and powerful. Of interest to GNOME developers is that Pinky is shipping a complete GMAE 2.20 platform, and a plugin for Anjuta to make building and deploying software for your target device trivial.

We've also got a sweet new web site and possibly the cutest mascot ever. I, for one, can't wait to stroke a plush Beaver.

Repulsive

From the most excellent Flat Earth News, a rip-roaring (I've always said that phrase should be used more) tale of corruption, falsehood and propaganda in journalism:

The readers are never wrong. Repulsive, maybe, but never wrong. - Piers Morgan, as editor of the Daily Mirror, referring to how he lost circulation due to the paper's stance against the Iraq invastion.

Flat Earth News is a great book, and I can recommend it to everyone who is disappointed with the state of global journalism, and even more to anyone who thinks journalism is in general doing a good job.
