It seems that a lot of people have decided to buy a Thinkpad X61s like many Igalians. Good news for us:

Seems that a lot of people are trying Modest and thus they want to report bugs and feature requests. It could be seen in Modest development page but just to clarify we have the usual couple of mailing lists
modest-devel: for development purpouses
modest-user: for Modest users
You can subscribe to both of them here.
There are many other […]
Great day for Modest, in which it became the official email client of the Maemo platform. After a lot of months of hard work, I’m very proud of people that worked with me in this amazing project. Use it, test it and tell us what you think
Now I only have to convince Rufo to use […]
I’ve recently experiencing a very annoying problem when trying to update modules located in SVN servers using JHBuild. The error was something like this
svn: Network socket initialization failed
This was even reported as debian bug. But it’s not definitely a bug in SVN, the problem is located in the libgcrypt library used by SVN to deal […]

Check out the video (only in Spanish, hope that somebody will provide subtitles)
A year ago more or less, I started to work on a project called Modest that aimed to become the e-mail client for Nokia Internet Tables like the N800/N810. Other people from Igalia joined the team later like Dape, Berto, Felipe, Javier or Juanjo, and some of them are still working on the project. And […]
My mate Berto found the ultimate option. It’s unbelievable that nobody realized that before, but fixing all the bugs of your application is quite easy. Just take a look at this
While hacking a little bit with GConf I found what IMHO is an undesirable behaviour of GConf. I think most of developers will agree because you don’t want your application to run in a different way than the one you expected when you designed it. And this happens in the following situation:
I set up a […]
This will be probably my first post at planet GNOME. I’d like to thank Jeff for giving me a place between all you guys.
My name is Sergio Villar Senín. I’ve been using free software for 7 years, and I’m a free software developer since 2003 when I joined Igalia. I started there with project Fisterra, […]
