FOSDEM 2006

The last weekend I was at FOSDEM with many people of GSyC (where I’m working since February). It was a great experience.

Just arrived there, we could attend the end of the Richard Stallman talk. Then we all went to the Calibre devroom. First of all Isra made a brief introduction about Calibre, and then Grex started with his presentation.

After the grex talk, acs and I went to the GNOME devroom, it was a little bit difficult to find, because it was moved in the last time. In the presentation jdub asked all of us introduce ourselves. In my opinion it made the GNOME devroom even cosier.

Again in the Calibre devroom Juanjo talked about the Developer Tracking System, it seemed people liked the idea, even grex said that TradeDT (now DeTraS) was the killer-app of the Calibre devroom. Yeah! 🙂

I was very interested in the pvanhoof talk about design patterns with GObject, so I went back to the GNOME Devroom. And the talk didn’t disappoint to me.

Finally on Sunday I was one of the few who got up early to go to the FOSDEM. I wanted to attend the maemo presentation, and was very interested in the svn and valgring talks.

The experience has been really successful.

Buoh 0.8.1

Buoh 0.8.1 has been released. The most important feature in this release is that buoh uses now a cache system for reducing the memory consumption. In addition it has been fixed a bug for allowing translations, so any translation contribution will be really welcome. It would be nice if it’s translated into spanish, don’t you think so serrador? 😛

For more information read the release notes here.

Yeah, I’m even more busy than when I was studying for the exams. But at least I’m doing funny things right now 🙂

Zaragoza

The GNOME meeting that took place in Zaragoza was really nice, specially thanks to dexem for the organization. We could talk about the book of GNOME Hispano, GNOME System Tools and since the whole buoh team was there, we also could work on the buoh for a while.

But everything wasn’t work, the night in the RNR bars of Zaragoza was pretty funny!

GNOME Hispano book

As I promised, I’ve started to write in the book, although I haven’t committed anything yet. I hope I can commit something soon.

Evince

I love selection feature of evince! I’ve been working in some improvements like allowing drag and drop of text selected.

Buoh

Buoh, the online comics reader for GNOME Desktop, is very close to a first public release! Zioma is writing a spinner based on the ephy code for providing a better feedback when loading a comic. Steve-o has done a great work getting the first publication date for each comic in order to allow going to the first one.

GNOME System Tools

I know garnacho needs help with the new gst architecture if we want to have it ready for GNOME 2.14. I hope I can start helping soon . . .

We are in the second day of the II GUADEC-ES. I think everybody is here now, even garnacho who lost the plane.

Corunia plane
A Coruña

Rodrigo has talked about how to write plugins for evolution, very interesting, everybody can write new features for evolution now, without patching the evolution code.

The organization of the event is simply perfect. Thanks to all of the people who are working on it

There is a problem with rss of the acs’ blog and it doesn’t work in planeta GNOME Hispano, you can get more updated information about the guadec-es in acs.barrapunto.com

A month without writing anything

I’ve been very busy the last days and lots of things have been happened.

GNOME

My paper for the II GUADEC Hispana was accepted. I’m going to talk about the desktop integration in GNOME, I hope the talk will be interesting for the people. The schedule is available in the GUADEC-ES website yet

Interesting discussion about GNOME and fun started by Edd Dumbill on Planet GNOME.

Evince is more and more fast and useful, and it’s the best rated application in gnomefiles right now. Jrb has added support for continuous and dual scrolling, one of the most requested features that in addition I think make the difference with other pdf/ps viewers.

University

Many works to do . . . It’s the moment to be focused only in uni stuff. There is only one month until the exams

No Software Patents: There were a protest in most of the spanish universities and of course in the URJC too. There are photos of the event in the ACM website. There are also photos and comments in the steve-o’s blog.

Basketball

Today, I’m going to play the last game of the 2004-2005 season for me. There is another one in two weeks, but I’ll be at GUADEC-ES then. I’m a little bit sad because the league is over, but in the other hand, I’m very happy remembering all of the games played.

The next Friday, there will be a 3 vs 3 championship in my uni (URJC). I already have a team 🙂 with steve-o and gabi. I’m sure it will be very funny
