Our Brightest Hour

Victory.

We are happy to announce that the restructuration of our group, triggered by the Shinobu Affaire, has been completed successfully.

The complot was discovered in March and was leaded by a group of members of the group who decided to put their interests above the good of the community, trying to take control of some of our technologies developed using funds coming from University of Oviedo, in order to make profit out of them.

The incorporation of new members and the use of agile software development methods allowed us to reduce the delay on project development caused by the affaire, from the initial six months delay to the current two weeks time. And what it is the most important, the Humandev and Shinobu projects are now on the scheduled time.
