Hi folks,

Appealing to the community for a little help here. The xTuple PostBooks
software - a leading open source accounting, CRM, and ERP solution
that's built entirely on top of the PostgreSQL database - has been
nominated to be the Sourceforge Project of the Month. Voting is open for
another week or so.

We've had a nice outpouring of support from the community, in numbers
that would usually be enough to win the honor. But we're getting a
stiff challenge from a racing game, of all things. Now, I like a good
Mario Kart knockoff as much as the next guy, but it would be nice to see
a real business application, built with the world's most advanced open
source database, get a little community recognition too....

I know Sourceforge has wrestled with all kinds of ballot-stuffing over
the years with these things, and probably still are. The catch with the
current voting is you need to use a Twitter account. So if you've got
one, or don't mind creating one real quick, please help us out and head
over to http://bit.ly/WZ0Zz and vote for xTuple PostBooks!

(If you want to follow @xTuple on Twitter after you set up that account,
we wouldn't mind that either!)

If you haven't checked us out for a while, download the new version
4.0. The Qt-based Desktop client is still going strong ... and we've
recently introduced a new Mobile Web client built with the Enyo HTML5
framework and Node.js. Both clients are completely interoperable with
the same PostgreSQL backend (we've actually increased our use of
PostgreSQL with an ORM built in the db with PLV8 - see more at
http://www.xtuple.org/blog/jrogelstad/javascript-javascript-js-all-way)

Thanks in advance to anyone who can throw us a vote! That URL again is
http://bit.ly/WZ0Zz ...

Cheers,
Ned
