Back from Desktop Summit 2011

Back from Berlin already 2 weeks, and it’s time to make a report about this desktop summit 2011.

I arrived at Friday in Berlin and took part in the Pre-Registration in c-base, and the interesting thing was that the first time in my life I drink an open source beer. :D.

And from the first 3-days presentations, I enjoyed a lot of topic, “GNOME: The state of the Union“, “Network and Location Awareness in Your Application“, “Theming GTK+ 3 widgets with CSS“, “Ramblings of a retired release manager“, “GNOME a continent, starting from Asia.” and ….
And the most impressive one is the “Hitler is briefed about GNOME 3“, the GNOME people are genius.

It was very relax and happy to take part in the Beach Party(Sponsored by Intel), Island Party(Sponsored by Collabora), and Football(Sponsored by SUSE). In the football, I was in the Pink Team.
In BoFs, I attend the “On D-Bus” and “NetworkMgr & ModemMgr“, from here I know about the latest feature of NM and MM, and met with upstream maintainer, Dan Williams and the knetworkmanager developer, Lamarque Vieira Souza. It’s a little pity that the time is very short, and we are the last BoF, after that the classroom will be closed, and we don’t have enough time to ask more questions.

Here again met with a lot of friends, Andreas, Bruno, Scott Revees, Vincent Untz, Michael Meeks, and also met many new friends, Brian Cameron and Larmarque.

It’s very exciting and helpful journey, I got more passion in GNOME. And here big thanks for GNOME Foundation and SUSE’s sponsor for my trip.Travel and lodging has been sponsored by the GNOME Foundation:

GNOME3.0 Install-fest


活动的信息详见

openSUSE向中国发送的2000DVD光盘终于拿到了，GLUG组织了这次活动，为了演示，深入的研究了两天感觉GNOME3.0用起来更加舒服了。

大家反馈了GNOME3.0的设计的一些意见，比如界面上面的面板空闲的太多，当活动窗口特别多时，Dash面板中的图标会变得太小，ibus输入法无法使用。

Back from GUADEC 2010

It’s my first time to attend the GUADEC 2010, the Hague was awesome. Here I met a lot of passion and great contributors, put their faces to names. And I knew about the latest status of Shell, Clutter and GNOME 3.

And I gave a lightening talk in the last day which is 30th July. The topic is “How to let NetworkManager more security?”, it’s not a big deal, just tell the new comer how to use the PolicyKit let application more security. You can get more detail from here .

I also took part in the the beach BBQ party on Thursday at Scheveningen, which is organized by Collabora. The food was very delicious, here I played the table football and talked freely with everyone you liked. It’s very nice!
