Gallery and Coppermine Merger

ckdake writes "In a move designed to stun the market, the Gallery team has publicly announced its plans to merge with the Coppermine project. 'After Yahoo bought Flickr we started feeling a little bit left out! Why do those corporate droids get to do all the acquisitions?' asked Bharat Mediratta, co-founder of the Gallery project, in a joint press conference. Joachim "GauGau" Müller, the lead developer for Coppermine, added 'It's time for us open source guys to get in on the fun of burning money by making senseless acquisitions!'

BOYCOTT THE NEXT STORY

[Anonymous Coward]

Instead of crying "make it stop", show your displeasure by posting no comments to the dumb-joke stories.

Okay so thats like story number 50

[Lullabye_Muse]

and I'm on number 39 of this http://www.ghazporkindustrial.com/?P=maggottshowar chive [ghazporkindustrial.com] which is much much funnier

I'm Pathetic

[cybercobra]

Man, even w/ a new article every 5min I still can't get a 1st Post!

Am I the only one who found it insightful?

[Chris Kamel]

I actually like April's fool jokes that do make some sense in an ironic way...
look at that:
'It's time for us open source guys to get in on the fun of burning money by making senseless acquisitions!'
Isn't that insightful? :)

Bill Linus & Steve

[datafr0g]

Please post a story about Bill getting steamy with Windows, Linus getting hot about optimising Linux and Steve making love to his Mac.
Then we'll know we're back to normal

Whoa

That's an impressively optimised submission-approval script they've got there. Has slashdot realised it can save money by firing all the editors and just approving anything that gets submitted?

Re:Whoa

[Billly Gates]

Here is a hint.

Look at the date?

Occasionally some of the past april fools spoofs have been funny. Creativity is lacking a little in some of the posts today though.

One of the worst april fools story was someone asking slashdot what kind of programing language turns them on sexually and sets the mood with their spouses.

Many women like Pe[a]rl[s]... Nothing #, though.

Insert Python joke here...

Re:Whoa

[m50d]

Yeah, I saw the date, but I didn't expect them to just accept every submission that came because it's April the first. That story would actually have been interesting.

In other merger news....

"PearPC and CherryOS..."

Not possible

[fulldecent]

This is not possible, because Camera Life (http://fdcl.sf.net/ [sf.net]), the superior photo management software, already bought out both projects. They are doing this stunt merely as publicity for the Camera Life parent project.
