Hi folks!

I was just made aware of a project called Gluon, an ambitious Open Source game development platform that's intended to take games all the way from the design process to distribution.  What's really cool and innovative about the Gluon concept is that, unlike other game distribution platforms, there's no hard divide between creators and consumers, and that's really what Open Source is all about.  Plus, being based on Qt, it's very near and dear to my own heart.

They've recently released their first technology preview, which you can pick up here.  For a great write-up on what Gluon is all about, check out this article on dot.kde.org.  They're an active and enthusiastic group, so if you're looking to get into some coding, they're looking for contributors. :)

Peace,

Bart
