For those interested in participating in the GNOME Outreach Program: Accessibility, you probably want to have a look at the list of tasks that has just been published in the program’s website.
So, now what? Read the program rules very carefully and claim one of the available tasks. Proposals acceptance is open now! Go Go Go!
As Behdad has already said, we’ve been working on this cool GNOME Outreach Program: Accessibility for the past three months. The program organized and promoted by the GNOME Foundation and sponsored by the GNOME Foundation, Mozilla Foundation, Canonical, Google, and Novell. Read the program’s press release. The tasks will be published on March 1st.
This is a very nice opportunity to contribute to a highly relevant part of GNOME. Participate!
This will be my first FOSDEM. I guess I’ll be around the GNOME booth most of the time, not sure. This will be a nice opportunity to meet new FLOSS people and some of my best old friends in GNOME. See you all there!
Andreas suggested on marketing-list to update the design of our t-shirt on Hackerthreads. I’ve contacted them and now they have a brand-new t-shirt available in their online store! Hackerthreads will be donating a portion of proceeds of the shirt sales to the GNOME Foundation.
Buy now! :-)
My vacation is over since January 15th. I’m still catching up with GNOME and work stuff and specially the timezone (jet lag of hell!). It was just wonderful to be in Brazil for more than 20 days. I met my parents, my brother and quite many relatives and friends. I basically stayed in three cities there: Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and Arantina (a very small town in Minas Gerais state). I took many pictures, have a look at this album.
…to everyone who wished me “happy birthday!” yesterday! I’m not a big fan of birthdays but it’s always nice to hear/read kind words from so many people :-)
I’m only 21 now! Can you believe it!? he he he
Now that the final results of the GNOME Foundation’s Board of Directors Elections were published, it’s a good time to thank everyone who voted in me. I’m really surprised about the number of votes I got! Be sure that I’ll give my best.
I think we’ve got a very good team on Board and I’m very excited about our 2008 plans. We’ve already started to work on some really cool things!
I’m flying to Brazil tomorrow on vacation. I won’t be very responsive for anything until I come back to Helsinki on January 14th. So, this is a good time to wish everyone a very nice Christmas and a wonderful New Year! 2007 was definitely an amazing year for me. I hope 2008 to be even better! Woohoo!
