Sapotek Inc., the company behind the free online desktops Desktoptwo and Computadora.de, today launched its most ambitious project to date, Sapodesk, a free software community dedicated to the development of user-friendly, open source web applications. Building on the success of the free online desktops, which together now serve nearly 150,000 active users from around the world, Sapodesk will allow programmers, graphic designers and others to share their knowledge and skills with each other and, in so doing, create attractive web applications such as those on Desktoptwo and Computadora.de.

Sapodesk is born of our belief that the future of web applications will be secured best through the work of many contributors, rather than the work of a dedicated few," said Joshua D. Rand, CEO and co-founder of Sapotek. "Free software is not a catch-phrase or a marketing gimmick; it goes to the very core of who we are and what we do, which is why we chose to launch Sapodesk from Debconf7, the annual Debian Project developer conference where we are a co-sponsor. We view Sapodesk as the merger of two unstoppable movements, the Internet and open source software and, given our expertise in creating web apps, we are proud to lead this movement and contribute to it in any way possible."
