Evolution templates plugin

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

Like just published in evolution-hackers list:

I spent the last few days hacking a plugin to reply messages with
predefined replies, templates in my faulty english.

I don’t know what would be the ideal steps to follow now, should I try
to get it inside Evolution I guess? So far I have seen that I need to
anyway, given that it requires full evo source to build.

I didn’t want to import it in GNOME’s svn because I think I should get
it into Evolution rather than an independent module in svn, I
published it here:
https://launchpad.net/evolution-templates-plugin

Code is here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~diegoe/evolution-templates-plugin/trunk/files

And I uploaded a .deb for Ubuntu hardy, i386 here:
http://www.gnome.org/~diegoe/stuff/evolution-plugins-templates_20080604-2_i386.deb
md5: a39118cd944032cbb844560b2a37b704

I’m anxious to get comments about it :) .

Update: gunther asks for a screenshot.

I totally forgot how to fix this, so to not forget it again, here is it:

Add “$include /etc/inputrc” to your ~/.inputrc.

Epiphany Extensions updated

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

I updated my ephy extensions page.

Go ahead, try them and send some comments!. I set up bzr repos for them, you can find instructions and urls in the page.

Also I must say that bzr is quite nice and simple, I’m using it to manage some projects and files and it’s quite cool. The push_and_update plugin is highly recommended.

Involucrate+GNOME: press release

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

(roughly translated from Spanish, check the original press release)

This March 7th and 8th, as part of the involucrate.org project, Lima will host an international FLOSS event that for the first time gets together the real actors of its development.

involucrate+GNOME is the name of this event, and despite the name makes the topic clear, there will be participation of diverse other FLOSS projects.

Thanks to the support by the GNOME Foundation and our generous sponsors, this time we’ll have the presense of developers from GNOME (Chile, Colombia), Dokeos from Belgium and peruvians from projects like Debian, Ubuntu, PHP, FreeBSD, GNOME, among others.

The website has more details about the schedule and the speakers, whom will be eager to share their experience and knowledge about this wonderful experience of contributing to FLOSS. There will be time for BoFs and hack sessions.

The event will have Facultad de Ingenieria de Sistemas, Computo y Telecomunicaciones de la Universidad Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (Lima – Perú) as its venue.

Participation is free of charge, as long as you register yourself. We are waiting for you!

-involucrate.org Team

About involucrate.org
involucrate.org is a project coordinated by DebianPerú with the goal of promoting the participation of new peruvian contributors and developers in FLOSS projects.

Through the creation of spaces, momentum and ways that facilitate a close experience with the real actors behind FLOSS. We are looking to help create a point of reference, a model, that can lead our country to be noticeable in the worldwide FLOSS map.

It’s also a good excuse to repost the poster:
