Annual GNOME soviets meeting

diegoe — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:05:43 +0000

Today I’m presenting some stuff about Epiphany (today @15:45), while the summary can confuse and overwhelm you, it’s actually a simple talk. It’s after Gustavo and Xan’s talk about WebKitGTK+ (“My platform is bigger than yours”, today @14:45) in the Paris room. Check the program anyway.

While you wait for it, you might want to drop by the info desk and buy a nice GNOME Free Agent t-shirt. Good stuff. You should buy one, now.

Please remember that we have a closing session in the Paris room later today around 17:00. We’ll be giving away free ponnies and -only to the first ten- rainbows. Also, you’ll have the chance to see the funny release-team banner. I heard it’s part of Lennart’s revenge.

I’m at GUADEC

So I’m sick. Luckily nothing too bad, just a sore throat with an infection warning.

Last week we held GUADEC-ES in A Coruña, Galicia. It seems I got my virus there, but I’m not blaming anyone. I presented two talks which I think had a positive response from the laughing audience . It’s on my attic.

Anyway, so GUADEC core is starting tomorrow and people is already looking for vuntz to blame him of various stuff like network connectivity, weather, etc. Lennart is leading the efforts to chase him down and let the wrath of the masses unleash on him, ping him if interested.

I’m looking forward to sit down with Allan, Reinout, Xan and Gustavo to re-think the Epiphany UI/UX. Now that everyone is breaking everything, well, why not us? The meeting will be scheduled on-the-fly, keep an eye .

Every year brave players from the 5 continents gather together to define who’s the best in the deadliest sport there is: soccer.

While in its already various years of existence the FreeFA cup haven’t yet taken any victim, we still like to think it’s quite dangerous and brave to play.

If you would like to become part of history books and be admired for generations yet to come, sign up now in the GCDS wiki (registration required on the main page).

Pack up your shinpads and football shoes, plus one or two colours of shirts you can sweat confidently.

Teams and time will be sorted while on the island.
