We’ve just launch a new site today! [FATdrive.tv](http://FATdrive.tv) combines online file  
storage and social-networking  
to help our members connect and share information effectively. Among the  
features is the ability to  
play back music and videos of various formats.

[FATdrive.tv](http://FATdrive.tv) is another testament on the importance of Open Source  
software. Our site is driven by  
Ruby on Rails, MySQL, Apache Webserver and Slackware Linux. We store all  
files securely on Amazon S3  
and let our members access them on demand.

I want to thank the Open Source community for providing us with the  
tools to enable [FATdrive.tv](http://FATdrive.tv)  
services. This forum has also been a great source of technical help and  
I thank you.

I invite you to visit our site for more information or just to stop by  
and have a quick look. I  
welcome your feedback on how we can further improve our services.
