Right, in one of the other threads it was noted that I had no clear list of the team.

So here it is, the list so far. If I have missed someone out then let me know/post on there and I'll try and sort it.

Just remember this is a learning project, after all the trolling in the other threads, I want to make it clear that we are doing this to learn, not to set the world alight (thats for later :p). I respect that everyone has their own opinions, but there is no need to troll.

Also remember this isn't a commitment, Im just getting these names by scouring the who's in page. Again theres something you don't like, let me know :)

If this is Ubuntu-based, I want nothing to do with it (We have 748374383 Ubuntu rip-offs already.). Regardless, I wish the team luck and I hope you fellas enjoy working on it. It's always nice to see a community coming together to do something constructive! GL guys!

It's looking like it's going to be Arch based :)

So far the vote is swinging quite largely in favour of Arch.

Really nice to see this. Its brought the Linux section alive on Neowin.

Hopefully in a few months after finishing some other project, I can help (and learn) on the programming side.

Heres hoping this project gets off the ground and into the big wide world :pint:

Thanks and all the best with your existing project! Hope to see you on the dark side soon! :)

Good to hear! Sorry if my previous post sounded prickish -- it wasn't intentional. I truly am excited for the project and I want it to succeed. Let Ubuntu be Ubuntu!

Hehe no worries mate :)

I wish you all the best of luck with this.

Thanks! :)

I'm also here to help if needed (either design or development). Worked with the old shift and i've also submitted a fair bit to the ubiquity project :)

Thanks Brian M, will add you to the list :)

You guys make me proud.

This is taking off so fast! :,)

Oh, if there ever is something that needs to be done with scripting, I'd gladly lend a hand.

(if the scripting language is something I can quickly hop into :p - course I don't think we'll be using AppleScript :laugh:)

Side question: if I happened to have something really cool outside of my department (graphics and photo), would that be welcome, too?

(like: send it to the specific department or something along those lines...)

Of course it would be welcome, just create a thread and let us know if you have anything you want to put in.

    • AIMP 5.40 Build 2721

      By Copernic · Posted

      AIMP 5.40 Build 2721 by Razvan Serea AIMP is a powerful audio player that allows you to listen to your favorite music with an outstanding sound quality. Its appearance resembles that of another classical audio player (Winamp). The program includes a 20-band equalizer, a visualization window to display rhythmic visual effects and a playlist editor to organize your audio files. A nice fading effect makes your list of songs look like an endless music loop and a handy volume normalizing feature avoids drastic volume changes between tracks. Also, the players main functions can be conveniently controlled by global hotkeys. Besides playing music, AIMP features three extra utilities which also enable you to record any sound on your computer, convert audio files from one format to another and view or edit tags. AIMP is based on the well-known audio engine BASS, so its easy to connect new plug-ins (from the plug-in library included in the program) and expand the players functionality. Main Features and Functions: Multi-Format Playback: Supports numerous audio formats, including CDA, AAC, AC3, APE, DTS, FLAC, IT, MIDI, MO3, MOD, M4A, M4B, MP1, MP2, MP3, MPC, MTM, OFR, OGG, OPUS, RMI, S3M, SPX, TAK, TTA, UMX, WAV, WMA, WV, XM, DSF, DFF, MKA, AA3, AT3, OMA, WebM, MDZ, ITZ, S3Z, XMZ, AIFF, and MPEG-DASH (YouTube). CUE Sheet Support: Enables the use of CUE sheets for managing audio tracks. Output Support: Compatible with DirectSound, ASIO, WASAPI, and WASAPI Exclusive output methods. 32-Bit Audio Processing: Utilizes 32-bit audio processing for optimal sound quality. Internet Radio: Allows listening to internet radio stations in OGG, WAV, MP3, AAC, and AAC+ formats, with the capability to capture streams in various formats. Bookmarks and Playback Queue: Facilitates creating bookmarks and managing a playback queue. Rating and Auto-Marks: Collects statistics on track listening and automatically calculates ratings and marks for listened tracks. Plugin Support: Allows the addition of new utilities or extensions to existing features through plugins. Built-in Scrobbler: Supports Last.fm, Libre.fm, and ListenBrainz services for scrobbling. Cloud Integration: Supports OneDrive, Google Drive, DropBox, Облако@mail.ru, Яндекс.Диск, and custom WebDAV clouds. Podcasts: Offers podcast support for subscribing and listening. Hotkeys: Allows configuration of local and global hotkeys. Multi-User Mode Support: Supports multiple users working on one computer. Multi-Language Interface: Provides a multi-language interface. 4K and High DPI Support: Supports scale factors of 125%, 150%, 175%, and 200% for high-resolution displays. Flexible Program Options: Offers customizable program settings. Flexible UI: Charm UI: A modern flat-style skin with 4K and High DPI support. Bliss 4K: A skin-transformer from AIMP4 included in the installation package. Pandemic: The classic skin from AIMP3 included in the installation package. User Skins: Access to a catalog of user-created skins. Sound Effects: 20-Band Equalizer and Built-in Sound Effects: Includes Reverb, Flanger, Chorus, Pitch, Tempo, Echo, Speed, Bass, Enhancer, and Voice Remover effects with flexible settings. Volume Normalization: Features peak-based normalization and Replay Gain, along with logarithmic and loudness-compensated volume control. Mixing Options: Offers Fade In/Fade Out, cross-mixing, and pause between tracks. Silence Remover: Removes silence from tracks for a seamless listening experience. Music Library: Music Library: Organizes music files, allows setting marks for listened tracks, and keeps playback statistics.

File Search: Enables searching files across all opened playlists.

    • Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch

    • Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch by David Uzondu In April 2025, Notion launched Notion Mail, an AI-powered email client that acted as a customizable overlay for your existing accounts. Instead of replacing Gmail entirely, it reimagined how users interacted with their inboxes by offering features like intelligent auto-labeling alongside automated calendar scheduling. Now, a little over a year later, Notion has announced that it is shutting it all down on September 22. Since Notion Mail is a frontend client, most of your Gmail data will remain safe inside your Google account, but the company said that you must export stuff specific to Notion Mail, like snippets, custom auto-label instructions, email drafts, and scheduled drafts, before the deadline. Starting today, June 25, you can export that data directly from the app or the web interface, and this grace period will last all the way until September 21. Once September 22 arrives, Notion will permanently delete all unsaved local assets, including files you attached to snippets. Your existing database syncs and mail blocks will persist, though they will stop receiving new messages after the shutdown. Notion advises that if you or your company operate within a regulated environment, you must transition off earlier than the general shutdown date to maintain compliance. Companies that rely on HIPAA coverage face an even tighter timeline and must transition away from the platform by June 30th. Notion, in its X announcement post, basically said that it doesn't see the point of maintaining a standalone email client, especially when users have shifted their habits toward automation. The platform pointed to its Notion agents, which it claims "more than half of Notion Mail users" already employ to manage emails without ever opening an actual inbox, so it is "going all in" on using these agents to run your inbox. Notion introduced Notion Agents last September at the "Make With Notion" conference, giving users AI-powered digital assistants that can do stuff like run in the background on specific schedules (e.g., summarizing your daily open tasks every morning at 8 AM).
