BillReminder is the first desktop application I have written for the GNU/Linux operating system. It pretty much started as a means to keep me involved with the open source and GNU/Linux communities, as well as scratch my own itch! ;) It has also proven to be a great way to meet other developers and expose me to other ways of tackling software engineering problems. BillReminder “Royale with cheese” released
It is with extreme pleasure that I annound the release of BillReminder “Royale with cheese” version 0.3.2! This released was concentrated on fixing bugs, adding more translations, and getting some work done for future reporting features.

Dear Og,
First of all I beg your pardon for this ‘off-topic’, but I do not know how else can I contact you.
I contributed to the Catalan translation of BillReminder. My latest contribution was in september. Now I’m a bit disapointed. The translation is complete, but since a couple of months ago waiting for somebody to review it.
Would you please be so kind to solve this problem? Please, e-mail me a short message when you do it.
Thanks in advance and congratulations for your nice program.
Yours sincerely,
Francesc Dorca
