This is another Electronics software that I like and always use for my hobby and jobs. Called "Oregano", you can use it for drawing a schematic diagram and it also able to do simulation. The most important it is free to copy and install. So if you are an electronics technician or engineer, this software can help you too in order to draw schematic diagram and make simulation on it. Here some of schematic that I draw by using Oregano. For me, it is very simple and easy to use software.

Sabily 10.10 codename: "Al-Quds"

Sabily team already decide their codename for version 10.10 will be "Al-Quds". So what is "Al-Quds"? If searching on Wikipedia, Al-Quds means City of Jerusalem. In my thinking this version is something like Gaza version. So everybody lets work for Sabily Al-Quds.
