More than 30 people attending (and interested). We managed to get the participation of <a title=\"thomas.apestaart.org\" href=\"http:\/\/thomas.apestaart.org\/log\">Thomas Vander Stichele<\/a>, who has experience using  <a title=\"BuildBot\" href=\"http:\/\/buildbot.sourceforge.net\/\">BuildBot<\/a> for Gstreamer,   <a title=\"Frederic Peters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.0d.be\/\">Frederic Peters<\/a>, developer of <a title=\"jhAutoBuild\" href=\"http:\/\/jhbuild.bxlug.be\/\">jhAutoBuild<\/a>, and <a title=\"Igalia\" href=\"http:\/\/www.igalia.com\">our<\/a> <a title=\"Dape\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.igalia.com\/dape\/\">Jos\u00e9 Dapena<\/a>, who has <a title=\"Tbox3 Gnome\" href=\"http:\/\/tbox3.igalia.com\">adapted jhbuild and tinderbox to Gnome<\/a>. <a title=\"Luis Villa\" href=\"http:\/\/tieguy.org\/blog\/\">Luis Villa<\/a>, who had been the continuous integration man for Gnome during the last years, was also there. Thus, as we had the right ingredients, the <a title=\"BuildBrigade\" href=\"http:\/\/live.gnome.org\/BuildBrigade\">BuildBrigade<\/a> (a working group -with already more than 10 members- inside Gnome, in charge of the creation and promotion of an automatic build environment for the project) was created. The general requirements and ideas were agreed during the BoF, and the same afternoon we got together again for deciding about the technical details and the first steps to carry out. I have to say I am very happy with the results of the BoF. Stay tuned! <em>[The slides I used are available <a title=\"Guadec 2006 - CI - Slides\" href=\"http:\/\/people.igalia.com\/juanjo\/slides\/guadec2006-ci.pdf\">here<\/a>]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a title=\"BoF on the development of business applications with\/in Gnome\" href=\"http:\/\/guadec.org\/node\/271\">BoF on the development of business applications with\/in Gnome<\/a>.<\/strong> Quite successful. About 20 people attending. We spent 1 hour talking about how the development of business (ERP-like) applications (using Gnome technologies) relate to the development of the Gnome platform. <a title=\"Lorenzo Gil\" href=\"http:\/\/www.advogato.org\/person\/lgs\/\">Lorenzo Gil<\/a>, creator of <a title=\"Gazpacho\" href=\"http:\/\/gazpacho.sicem.biz\/\">Gazpacho<\/a>, <a title=\"Fernando San Mart\u00edn\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.gnome.org\/view\/fsmw\">Fernando San Mart\u00edn<\/a>, developer of PyGestor and a bunch of <a title=\"Fisterra\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fisterra.org\">Fisterra<\/a> developers were there. Unfortunately other people interested like Johan Dahlin from  the projects Kiwi and Stoq, or Murray Cumming from Glom could not make it for the BoF. There are different approaches for the development of that kind of applications, but in general the feeling was that we have things that could -and should- be shared (knowledge, patterns, marketing, widgets, libraries, and so on); also, the feeling was that they could and should be shared probably inside Gnome. The goal now is to create permanent channels for continuing the discussion and finding out <em>what<\/em> and <em>how<\/em> we should share results among projects. <em>[The slides I used are available <a title=\"Guadec 2006 - Business - Slides\" href=\"http:\/\/people.igalia.com\/juanjo\/slides\/guadec2006-business.pdf\">here<\/a>]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In general I liked the conference very much.
