Launchpad now Open Source

Canonical have now released Launchpad as open source. This is really good news, considering Shuttleworth’s previous stance, which I found quite wrong-headed. Just having Launchpad alone as an Open Source project is great, as it’s a very powerful tool. It’ll be interesting to see if they follow suit with the rest of Ubuntu’s proprietary offerings.

Oh, and it’s written in python
