		<title>The GNOME Census project</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working on a project for the past few weeks, and it&#8217;s time to take the wraps off.
For as long as I&#8217;ve been involved in GNOME, we have been asked the same questions over and over again: How many GNOME developers are there? Which companies invest in GNOME, and how much? Where can I [...]]]></description>

		<title>STFU</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In honour of the recent discussions on foundation-list, I would like to resend everyone to this piece by Dan Spalding, which I&#8217;ve mentioned previously. It had a huge influence on me, and hopefully will on others too.
As a teaser, here&#8217;s an extract of the target audience:

		<title>Line-up pour Ignite Lyon finalisé</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Je viens de finaliser aujourd&#8217;hui les présentateurs pour l&#8217;inauguration de Ignite Lyon. Les sujets sont assez diverses, du vache à lait à l&#8217;informatique bio en passant par la course à pied et l&#8217;art libre. Pour ceux qui sont plus du tendance entrepreneur, nous avons également des présentations sur la démarche commerciale ou créer sa première [...]]]></description>

		<title>Putting Oracle a11y news in perspective</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oracle laying off GNOME contributors is certainly bad news for the project. It&#8217;s particularly bad news because Willie Walker, one of my favourite GNOME contributors, is now out of a job.
I just want to put this in perspective, though. In 2007, IBM made deep cuts in its support of GNOME accessibility, affecting contributors such as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ignite Lyon: A new adventure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a big fan of short-form presentations, and I like to give one whenever I get a chance. I also like to encourage others to do them for other conferences I&#8217;ve organised or run, like  GUADEC, the Maemo Summit or Fostel (site seems to be down now &#8211; shame).
I&#8217;ve been an admirer from afar of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learning how to fund-raise from other non-profits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More and more we&#8217;re seeing organisations outside the free software world  try to learn the lessons of our success, and integrate &#8220;open source&#8221; practices into their organisation.
Whether it&#8217;s companies adopting transparency and other cluetrain or pinko marketing strategies, proprietary software development companies integrating standard free software practices, or one of the other areas where &#8220;crowdsourcing&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas wish: Distro hardware buyer&#8217;s guide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a long time free software user, every time I buy hardware I have the same decision paralysis. Will the graphics card be fully supported? Are the drivers stable? Will the on-board wifi, sound card, and the built-in webcam Just Work? Will they work if I spend hours hunting down drivers and installing kernel modules [...]]]></description>

		<title>2009 blog links collection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looking back on 2009, I wrote quite a bit on here which I would like to keep and reference for the future.
This is a collection of my blog entries which gave, in my opinion, the most food for thought this year.

		<title>Side-effects of copyright assignment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Michael Meeks wrote a great piece on the consequences of copyright assignment on free software projects yesterday. He has a lot of experience in the area, and has gone from fervent advocate to something of an outspoken opponent of copyright assignment through his involvement in the OpenOffice.org project in recent years.
One of the things that [...]]]></description>
