GNOME Roadmap

Murray: wow, fantastic timing! As Lucas already pointed out in a comment, we had a discussion about this just a few hours before your post, and we've outlined a plan to fix the roadmap. We'll work on it in the next few days, and we hope to go live soon (probably next week).

The main issue is that there's a roadmap for each modules in GNOME, but only maintainers know about the roadmap of a module, and we're lacking a consistent GNOME-wide roadmap. There's no reason to think this is unfixable, so let's do it.

It's alive!

GNOME 2.18.0 is out! It's full of love, and it's love in various languages (around 50 supported languages, if I'm not wrong).

Now, maybe you're feeling bad because you didn't contribute enough to this release? Or maybe you're looking for a small way to celebrate this release? Here's the solution: you can help us fill our screenshots gallery with cool 2.18 screenshots!

Let's celebrate the release, or if you're exhausted because of all the efforts you put into it, let's go to bed ;-)

Google Summer of Code 2007: GNOME posters

Máirín created an awesome poster to let students know that they can apply to work on GNOME for the Google Summer of Code 2007.

Google Summer of Code 2007 - GNOME poster

The goal is to put it in as many universities/colleges as possible. And Ryan started a list of universities with known contacts who will post the poster where it makes sense, or distribute it as a flyer. Feel free to add yourself as a contact for your university!

Did I mention that the poster is translated to various languages?

Google Summer of Code 2007 - GNOME poster (french)

Arabic, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Korean, Macedonian and Spanish versions are available now. I'm sure more languages will come. If you translate it, make sure to add links to the files to the wiki page.

Number ot the Day

180.

That's the number of contributors who were added to our "About GNOME" dialog since the call to update the list of GNOME contributors, last week.

Basic

Il y a plusieurs semaines, j'ai eu l'occasion de voir un grand film à la télé : Basic. Un résumé du scenario est disponible, mais c'est vraiment mieux de voir le film. Je n'ai pas vraiment de mots pour le décrire, donc je vais emprunter un commentaire à un autre :

Basic is one of those films that thinks itself clever in its use of confusion, when in reality it's just confusing. Sound confusing? Yeah, thought so.

Source : Spence D.

Je suis arrivé à la fin du film et je me suis dit : j'ai rien compris, mais alors vraiment rien compris. Il y a des retournements de situation dans tous les sens, et en plus je n'étais pas aidé car je mélangeais les personnages entre eux. Et pourtant, j'ai bien aimé. Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais j'ai eu ce petit sentiment de satisfaction que nous pouvons avoir après avoir regardé un film qui nous plait.

C'est étrange : un film qui a l'air mauvais et qui au final me plait. Cela n'a pas de sens. Comme le film. Et d'autres choses...
