However, upstream has not released a new version in a while, and will be removed from Debian after squeeze. A new fork of the project, "LibreCAD" has started. They have already ported QCad to qt4 and implemented many community patches that the original upstream did not have the resources to test and implement. The Edubuntu team is currently working on getting LibreCAD included in natty. The package is working, but we are lacking a desktop icon and good splash screen. <a href="http://www.librecad.org" target="_blank">www.librecad.org</a> is running a design contest for their logos. Information is on their site. We're looking for a standard <a href="http://freedesktop.org" target="_blank">freedesktop.org</a> icon (.svg preferred). The package is available at ppa:showard314/librecad <a href="https://launchpad.net/%7Eshoward314/+archive/librecad/" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/~showard314/+archive/librecad/</a> Please take a look, and I'm sure upstream will welcome any contributions you can make! Thank you.

Kind regards, John
