LibreOffice - The new OpenOffice fork!
Drizzle - Beta release, fork of MySQL made by community
Gnome ~~3.0~~ 2.32 - Just a tweak-and-bugfix release.
Mozilla ~~Bespin~~ Skywriter - 'write code in the cloud'
Ghostscript 9.0 - your PostScript just got pertier
Qt 4.7 released - now has QML, which should make GUI designs easier

Broadcom open-sources their drivers
64-bit Flash plugin is released
PostgreSQL 9 released
Ubuntu 9.04 EOL's on October 23rd - how long SHOULD an enterprise release be supported?
Stuxnet smacks up Windows boxes. Since a lot of Linux boxes are now 'stock' and running critical infrastructure, is it only a matter of time before Linux becomes a serious target? Given the amount of kernel security fixes in the past month, it may be sooner than we think...

SUSE Linux is for sale (check your piggy bank)
Facebook open sources MySQL tool for quick schema changes
Still waiting on Firefox 4... 3.6.9 adds clickjacking protection
SCO is auctioning off their UNIX division. When will they finally go belly up?
