Black Sheep is also where the software lives.
The products built here are published under Black Sheep rather than sold through it. Gaia, a live Earth for your desktop, is ready to use. NewsDesk Studio, a news desk for people who go on camera, is out for Windows with a free 30-day trial. Olympus is still being built, and says so.
There is also a passphrase tool you can use right now, in the browser — nothing it generates leaves the page.
