LinuxPR: Downloading of Source Code for Open CASCADE Gains Momentum

“Over 1500 requests completed since December 20,
1999.“

“As announced by Matra Datavision on December 7, 1999, the
source code for the CAS.CADE geometric modeling libraries, now
known as Open CASCADE, has been available on the
www.opencascade.org Internet site since December 20th. To date,
there has been extensive downloading activity on the web site,
showing that Open Source is a promising economic model for Matra
Datavision and that it responds to a real development need.”

“Marc Gainette, Director of Open CASCADE Department, comments,
“We have already received a number of requests for joining the Open
CASCADE core team, which will have as its objectives the technical
piloting of the product and the coordination of projects. These
requests come from Germany, Norway, the United States and India.
The enthusiasm generated by the initiative indicates to us that we
should be able to announce the constitution of the core team by the
end of January 2000.”
