Many Source Mage developers have been discussing a European Meeting. They are still discussing a date, but they think the location will be somewhere in Germany. If you are interested, you can follow the discussion on the Source Mage discuss mailing list.

Ismael Luceno has been writing a new spell called Spellfoster. In Ismael's words, "Spellfoster is inspired by debfoster, a Debian tool that makes removal of unwanted applications a trivial task. We have "dispel" and "gaze orphans", but from what Eric Sandall and Ismael explained Spellfoster puts a dialog around orphans which are not held, making an easy to use list. It sounds interesting, keep up the good work Ismael!

We have a new developer! Long time user Jeremy "Belxjander" Sutherland has joined the circle of Mages. He is interested in working on Cauldron, Init scripts, Grimoire and more. Welcome Jeremy!
