WinLibre project is an open source project aimed at popularizing Open Source software.

WinLibre is a META-project which was originally targeted at the windows platform (hence its name) but it has evolved during the last 4 years to embrace also the Mac OS and Linux platforms. We are focusing on delivering to our users quality open source software with a strong emphasis on ease of use. We are mainly maintaining WinLibre (open source software distribution for windows) and MacLibre (open source software distribution for Mac OS X). The Winlibre distribution provides a collection of first-class open-source software bundled in an easy single installer & updater. Through time and thanks to the former editions of the Google Summer Of Code, the Winlibre project has evolved and created other sub-projects to fill gaps in the open-source desktop software offering. The Maclibre distribution is an equivalent to the Winlibre distribution for Mac OS.

This year goals are :

• Finalize our package manager for windows
• Finalize a new MacLibre release
• Improve Pwytter, our muti-os twitter client
