+ newsletter:/p
+
+ h3Locris is here!/h3
+
+ pOn 8 March 2010, Miklos Vajna a href=http://frugalware.org/news/163;
+ announced/a the release of Frugalware 1.2 - code-name Locris. It has been
+ a great 6 months since the previous release, with several major improvements.
+ Everyone who contributed to this release - the developers, artists and
+ translators - can be very proud of the results of their hard work. Thanks
also
+ to everyone who took the time to report bugs they found, because 1.2 is a
+ better release for your effort./p
+
+ h3Icons added to the newsletter/h3
+
+ pIcons for each main section of the newsletter were recently added to make
+ it look better. This is something I have been wanting to do for several
+ months, but never quite managed to get done. Soon after I added a task for
+ this to the Frugalware Bug Tracking System (BTS), developer Devil505 added
+ them. Since then I have replaced one of the icons and made some formatting
+ adjustments. I believe the newsletter looks better with these icons added,
+ but I would like to hear others' opinions. Thanks to Devil505 for his work in
+ adding the icons, without which it may never have been done. :)/p
+
+ h3Jump for Frugalware/h3
+
+ pTo celebrate the release of Frugalware 1.2, the entire team has decided to
+ make a skydive together. During the dive they will maneuver themselves into
+ position to spell out the word Frugalware. Practice has gone well so far,
+ although this has only been in an airport hanger. WebEagle has been given the
+ role of jump master, since he's the only team member with skydiving
+ experience. If the jump goes well the team will have celebrated in style. If
+ the jump doesn't go well then 1.2 will be the last Frugalware release. Keep
+ your fingers crossed! :P/p
+
+
+ h2img src=community.png align=leftFrugalware's developers are people

+
+ pThis is the latest in the ongoing series of interviews with Frugalware's
+ developers. This issue's interview is with Pingax, who is a very new member
of
+ the team. Please read on.../p
