Free online desktop came to life with FLOSS

Wed, 30 Jan 2008 21:00:00 GMT
Back in 1999, free software believer Joshua Rand and his friend Oscar Mondragon were talking about the changes they predicted were coming for the Internet. Not long after that, the bubble burst and things did change, for the worst, many said. "We didn't subscribe to that theory," Rand says. "We saw the Internet becoming a platform for applications and services long before the term Web 2.0 was coined. With the growth and proliferation of things like Web-based email, the next logical step was, why not everything else? Why not more personal productivity tools and office tools?" That was the beginning of Sapotek.

profile-manager

PROFILE-MANAGER(1)					      General Commands Manual						PROFILE-MANAGER(1)

NAME

       profile-manager - starts the gui for configuring the metadata used by desktop-profiles

SYNOPSIS

       profile-manager

DESCRIPTION

       The  desktop profiles package needs metadata about the available profiles in order to decide when to activate which profiles. This metadata
       is contained in the .listing files placed in the /etc/desktop-profiles directory. This convenience script will start a graphical  interface
       for configuring that metadata.

       The gui is a kommander script, so you need to have the kommander package installed for the gui to work (the script will check if the neces-
       sary prerequisites are present, and tell you what's missing if necessary).

OPTIONS

       There are no options

FILES

       /etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles

BUGS

       The gui currently barks at profile metadata containing a single quote in the description.
