Celebrations with the GPL

Wait 5 sec.

This post is to celebrate a few things despite the events that are clouding our feelings. 😠Another thing to not celebrate is the slaughtering by Sourceforge of my developer web site, which they are calling "sunsetting", by October. I've already migrated it. On the other, brighter hand, I'm celebrating this week La Mercè, which is the local festivity of Barcelona. Castellers of Barcelona Another event to celebrate is the first 2 million downloads of VMPK for Linux, Windows and Mac. The Sourceforge statistics do not include the installs thru Flatpak, but you may realize that more than 75% of the Sourceforge downloads are the Windows packages. The 2 mil download happened some past day of this year 2025. I've promised a celebration, and now, I have released the Android port of VMPK under the GPLv3 license in GitHub.You may download it from GitHub (source code and APK), or you may get it from the IzzyOnDroid repository which is available in the F-Droid app, but also on Neo-Store, Droid-ify,  and the unofficial IzzyOnDroid app.If you already have the F-Droid app, you only need to add the IzzyOnDroid repository in Settings>Repositories and install it today, or you may prefer to use the official F-Droid repo.I would like to add to the celebration a video live streaming concerto, but I am too lazy and odd playing for that. Better use this wonderful rendering of the Tchaikovsky Violin concerto by TwoSet Violin, with Brett Yang playing the soloist and Eddy Chen the rest of the orchestra. Enjoy!
