Diego, el gnomo

In case you are willing to try PackageKit or the other Kits, I put together a .modules file for jhbuild:

<?xml version=”1.0″?><!–*- mode: nxml -*–>
<?xml-stylesheet type=”text/xsl” href=”moduleset.xsl”?>
<moduleset>
<repository type=”git” name=”freedesktop”
href=”git://git.freedesktop.org/git/”/>
<repository type=”git” name=”freedesktop-people”
href=”git://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/”/>

<autotools id=”consolekit”>
<branch repo=”freedesktop” module=”ConsoleKit”/>
</autotools>

<autotools id=”policykit”>
<branch repo=”freedesktop” module=”PolicyKit”/>
<dependencies>
<dep package=”consolekit”/>
</dependencies>
</autotools>

<autotools id=”packagekit”>
<branch repo=”freedesktop-people” module=”PackageKit”/>
<dependencies>
<dep package=”policykit”/>
</dependencies>
</autotools>
</moduleset>
Not a lifetime hack of course, and I think it’s now missing PackageKit-gnome, but it was useful to me so I thought someone would be interested. By the way, wordpress thinks that .modules files does not meet security guidelines… harmful text files, omg.

Instructions in the Telepathy wiki.

I hacked this some hours ago so please feel free to fix any problem!.

Yeah we had like THE earthquake over here. Thanks $deity Lima was not that affected, Ica on the other hand had a lot of disasters.

Cellphones and phonelines died for almost 3 or 4 hours after the Earthquake. Luckily I was able to communicate with my family via SMS. I’ll need to update their communication skills so they can use Internet which was the ONLY service that was still working. Police even had to use a local radio station to broadcast some info to the policemen.

Right now it’s 4:30 AM, no idea if I’m watching live coverage on local TV (maybe it’s just a rerun of earlier coverage). But hell lot of chaos. 155 people have passed away and 1300 is the estimate of injured ones.

You can follow up the event on Wikinews. Also some info is being archived on the Wikipedia article about the Earthquake. Also El Comercio, the biggest local newspaper, has a lot of coverage on its website (that looks pretty cool btw).

And yes, it was on GNOME’s 10th birthday :). Well, time to get some sleep but before I’ll put some stuff on my survival kit (which, guess what, includes my N800).

I joined the most incredible free software project out there. Thanks to that shy email to Glynn Foster and the less-shy question avalanche to Lucas Rocha. Lots of people have helped me among all the this -short- time contributing to GNOME. I can’t name them all without forgetting names so I prefer to avoid name lists.

I’m amazed of how in this short time I have came to know a lot of cool people and friends, people that live in the other side of the world, people that live on my neighbour countries. It has been a really great experience, and I’m sure I’m not gonna regret having spend my time meeting and working with such fantastic people.

Remembering all this makes me home^WGUADEC-sick, I can’t wait to see you all next year!. That also reminds me that some days ago, after watching Harry Potter I thought: “hah, GUADEC is like my Hogwarts” LOL.

Thanks to all that people that has helped me answering my questions, smacking me in the head, reviewing my patches, carrying me out of the pitch like a bag of potatoes, etc. I really owe it all to you guys!.
