I'm in the press room at Linux World Expo in San Jose, resting my butt and wishing I had time to write more. I don't, so I'll list a highlight. There's just one: Eazel.

Bud Tribble told me yesterday that there really aren't that many former Apple folks at Eazel. But it's hard to ignore the significance of just five: Andy Hertzfeld, Mike Boich, Susan Kare, Mike Homer and Bud himself.

We are working to make Linux dramatically easier to use by developing Nautilus, a uniquely intuitive file manager for the GNOME desktop. In combination with our services offerings, our goal is to establish Linux as the desktop of choice for millions of users. And we'll do it in a way that appeals to today's Linux users and to mere mortals.

We believe in the power of free software, and our software is being developed under the GPL. If you want to lend your skills and vision to Eazel, check out our jobs page or go to our developer page.
