It puts the release date at June 20th, but otherwise seems accurate.

I was tickled by Jeremy's quote about my impact, but the real story is:

Wine's lucky that

a) Google happened to need Picasa on Linux, and the Picasa team was shorthanded
b) I raised my hand at the right time, and said "I know a
contractor that can get Picasa running on Linux..."

and is even more lucky that

c) Google is so open-source-friendly
d) Chris DiBona works at Google
e) my bosses believed me when I said a couple interns could make a big
difference

All in all a fortuitous coincidence.
