Just fresh from the oven, I am happy to release i-track
http://www.i-track.org, my latest 'pet' project (Open Source, of course - Simplified BSD License).
An easy to use, trac-inspired issue tracking system, yet another python-related project, which was proudly coded in the web2py web framework (Online Book Here).
Sometimes I think to myself: ".. why are you still developing open source projects when you have a stable job (and which by no means would dare to use any open source software) and basically 'no need' for it? ..", the answer is: I don't really know, but I have an idea, Open Source projects promote many positive things in one self, your code, for instance, can potentially be viewed by many eyes, so you have to code elegantly using best practices, etc, also, there is a slight chance that NASA will review my work and ask me to be part of their next generation python-driven mars-rover software engineering team, or even google (which will probably be the sponsor of NASA's next generation python-driven mars-rover software engineering team). One thing is for certain, every time I work with Open Source projects and Python specifically, is like a breath of fresh air, exercise for the mind, if you will, so we'll see you in the next project..
For now, some pics of the shiny new project:
Cheers,

This is a very simplistic example, but it summarizes 100% the way I feel about Windows and "Non" Windows in general. Consider the following:
Vs.
I've found that there is no functionality in one that there is not somehow in the other, now, which operating system would you choose? ;)

There's been some heat lately merely by several "researchers" from Russia and South Korea (one bona fide and the other plain extortion, I have the emails if you want them) about pyForum.org containing several "Vulnerabilities", the bad guy has even gone to sec lists.org, cvedetails.org, etc to publish his findings, etc, by no means I take all security related issues seriously, but these "security issues" would do no more than annoy a registered user with a password request change. Since email sending functionality is purposely off on the server, this issue becomes moot.
There was another, more serious security flaw that a good samaritan russian fellow developer found and he was courteously in pointing it out to me, which was patched immediately and the official download link was taken out as a result.
So, what will come out of all this? - A stronger pyForum.org :) none the less. I plan to release a "major" update of the application probably during August if time permits, the UI will most likely not change too much, with the exception of the hideous logo and logo's typeface, which will get a "pro" work done, and the "mobile" version, so desperately needed these days of smartphone use.
So there you have it, if you have any questions or comments, you can reach me here, or in the google groups on web2py, peace out.
