Bastien Nocera: «Todos es mejor con Bluetooth»

Posted 1 day ago by nor...@blogger.com (hadess)

Ladies and gents. Tomorrow, the great Bluetooth presentation! Come and join in the chuckles. A superb presentation that the New York Times calls «Inexplicably enticing», an anonymous KDE developer say it's «Dumbed down, and not Cross-desktop und ... [More] so weiter».

Where: Palacio de la Música
When: 12:00 to 12:30

Vincent Untz: Nokia & GNOME Mobile

Posted 1 day ago

Quim just gave his keynote, announcing that maemo will switch to Qt as the main toolkit in the future, with GTK+ being a part of the maemo platform that will become supported by the community. Not a big surprise, since Nokia acquired Trolltech a ... [More] while ago.

The interesting thing, though, is that, listening to Quim's talk, maemo is still a big GNOME Mobile user: the maemo platform will actually still more or less be GNOME Mobile, except that it will be using Qt instead of GTK+. This may come as a surprise to some people since for many, GNOME is GTK+ and GTK+ is GNOME. GNOME is actually way more than GTK+ and the GNOME Mobile platform in particular covers a good number of technologies (glib, dbus, gvfs, bluez, telepathy, avahi, gstreamer, gconf, etc.). All of those technologies are historically close to GNOME (usually living on freedesktop.org), or even part of GNOME.

So while the move to Qt is a logical move from Nokia, it's good to see that Nokia stays firmly committed to GNOME Mobile. It's actually quite amazing to see that what we built there is attractive to a big industry player like Nokia (and, well, a bunch of other players ;-)). [Less]

Johnny Jacob: openSUSE 11.1 on PS3

Vincent Untz: GUADEC tidbits #1

Posted 1 day ago


Arrived on Thursday, and had dinner with Stormy, Rosanna, Jonathan and the evil Lucas. Turned out Lucas and I still have this bad habit of talking in front of a hotel for a long time...

Yesterday, we had the first board meeting with ... [More] the new board. It went amazingly well, with good work going on. It was definitely a good thing to move the elections period to have the meeting at the beginning of the board term.

We then went to register for the conference. It always feels good to see familiar faces again :-)

Canonical hosted a party yesterday evening, a good occasion to catch up with even more people.

Henri seems to believe he can keep his ice cream champion title. Ahahahah. We'll see.

At the opening right now. Quite funny to see a warm welcome, with some notes about collaboration from Adrian (from KDE) and Behdad (from GNOME) while they are each at one extreme side of the table ;-) And Behdad has this what am I doing here? funny look; hopefully someone took a picture of him!

Philip Withnall: Gran Canaria!

Posted 1 day ago

Here I am, somehow successfully arrived in Gran Canaria, despite Iberia’s best efforts. My first plane was delayed not quite long enough to give me hope that I’d catch my connection, but just too long for me to do so comfortably. Thankfully, the ... [More] second plane was also delayed, so my running down the entire length of Madrid’s Terminal 4 was somewhat unnecessary.

A GNOME Foundation sponsorship badge.

How am I here? I’m only here because of the nice people at the GNOME Foundation, who decided to sponsor me. Thank you, nice people! [Less]
