GNOME Annual Report 2008 Kickoff

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

It’s time to start working on our 2008 annual report (actually, we’re already late…)! Last year we had a very nice report. So, let’s make it even better this year! I’ve created a wiki page to organize the work. The current content is just an initial proposal. Feel free to add your ideas there.

Any kind of contribution is welcome! There are several ways to help:

  • Assign yourself to write one of the sections
  • Add links, references and other information sources to help writers to produce the content
  • Add new ideas, suggest, review the content
  • Add links to high resolution photos of GNOME people
  • Anything else! :-)

I’ll soon start to directly contact some people for specific tasks (as this is a more effective way of getting volunteers). Anyway, if you want to help and/or have any questions, feel free to contact me.

“Geejays”

So, as Havoc had already pre-announced, we just released the 0.1 version of Gjs, the javascript bindings with which we’re doing all the crazy stuff at LiTL. The code is in GNOME svn. We’ve created this really dummie wiki page now. Feel free to test it and send us cool patches to improve it.

In Boston

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

So, I just arrived in Boston. When I got to the hotel, my room was not ready yet so I had to randomly walk around the city for about 1 hour. I was quite tired but it was a nice walk after all. I found this nice bookstore where I bought two books I was looking for with very good prices: the biographies of Coltrane (by Ratliff) and Davis (by Davis). I’m reading now the biography of Jimi Hendrix (by Cross). Cool stuff.

Anyway, if you’re around and want to have dinner/a beer this week, just let me know.
