NEWS: eggPlant application by TestPlant, LLC ported to Linux using GNUstep...

All,

After months of work, I'm pleased to announce that eggPlant, a product of TestPlant, has been successfully ported to Linux using GNUstep. All of the relavent improvements to GNUstep have been contributed back to the project and have already started to benefit the community as a whole.

TestPlant was formerly RedStone, Inc. You can visit their site at:

http://www.testplant.com.

As many of you may or may not know I've been working with projects, individuals and companies which use Cocoa to help them get onto Linux and all of the other platforms we support by assisting them in porting their applications to GNUstep.

It's important to remember that GNUstep is, first and foremost, a development environment in it's own right. Just as important, however, is the fact that GNUstep can be also used to port complex applications over to Linux and other platforms from Cocoa.

Helping companies such as this has two beneficial effects on our community... it encourages participation from developers since they can see it's being used and maintained actively and it also, through their participation, allows them to contribute code back to us that ultimately benefits the entire community.

Thanks, GC

Thank you for moving GNUstep in a productive direction -- this is an important milestone.

I do have a question about their press release: what is "newStep" ?

Is it a malapropism of "GNUstep" ?

GregC said...

Thanks. It has been my intention all along to build the GNUstep community as much as I can by doing things such as this.

"newStep" is what they're calling the collaboration between the GNUstep project and them to build the application for Linux and other platforms.
