Together with Martyn Russell, Carlos Garnacho and Kristian Rietveld, I’m attending OSiM this week. None of us has been here before, so we’re quite curious about the conference and will keep our eyes open. My schedule still has some holes, so if you would like a chat at the [...]
Lots and lots of things have been going on around me lately, but that’s best left for other posts if I ever get around to do them. ;)
A few months ago, I’ve sat down with quite some help by others and collected the input and feedback around Gtk+ 3.0. The [...]
Two weeks ago, Bruce Byfield did an interview with me about Manju. The article is now up at linux.com and gives a general overview of the project scope: Manju Project Article.
There’s also been a German interview with Sven Herzberg and me some months back at the Berlin Hackfest, which covers [...]
Andreas Nilsson and I recently started the Manju project which aims at creating graphical widget toolkit themes from SVG files in a toolkit independent fashion.
It combines the idea of a pixmap theme engine, Jimmac’s “One Canvas Workflow”, SVG markup features and Inkscape export functionality to fully automate [...]
Guadec has been in interesting conference, particularly because it took place in Istanbul this year. I tried to keep a few notes throughout the days to wrap up the experience and discussions here.
Sunday
Headed off for Istanbul, partial Imendio meet-up at the airport in Vienna, gathered remaining Imendians at [...]

Due to a sports accident, our booth bunny Sven Herzberg unfortunately couldn’t make it, so on Tuesday I took over booth management and merchandise from him and hurried [...]
I just got back online after a full week of DSL-outage due to the Deutsche Telekom Strike. If you are awaiting response via email or bugzilla from me, please be patient, I’m doing my best to catch up. Feel free to poke me about urgent issues via IRC/IM though, or drop me a reminder [...]
Last week i got a bug report where activating “Help/Quick Start”, “Help/FAQ” and any other web browser related menu item in Beast would do nothing. That of course completely defeats the purpose of writing help documents and offering help via the menu. Luckily, we were able to get browser launching debugging print [...]
Rodney Dawes blogged in reply to my previous blog entry on Hammering the intltool trouble. First of all, blog discussions suck, they suck less if they are carried on in the comments section of a blog entry, but i agree with Rodney that this is still not as helpful as Bugzilla or email conversations [...]
So I’ve finally had enough trouble with kludging around the different bits and odds of intltool. For several years now, the Beast project has to maintain a patch against intltool to apply after intltoolize –force –copy. The patch must be applied in order to enable translation of multi line scheme strings, and to allow [...]
