Postr 0.5
Postr 0.5 is out. This has a few fixes:
- Catch errors throw by EXIF or IPTC parsing
- New flickrpc (cleaner code, works with Python 2.5)
You can follow the development in the Bazaar branch, or get the Postr 0.5 tarball.
Xrandr, postscript
If anyone out there has been using my Edgy packages for the new Xrandr love, then you'll notice that I've just deleted them...
Daniel Stone, X hacker extraordinaire, has built updated packages. As he can actually use git I trust them more than I trust my own. They may blow up your machine and so on, but they are available here:
deb http://www.fooishbar.org/packages/ randr-1.2/edgy/$(ARCH)/
He also kindly built AMD64 debs, something that I cannot do.
GUADEC 2007 Pre-Call for Papers
I plan on announcing the GUADEC 2007 Call for Papers in the next day or so, so I want everyone to put their thinking caps on and consider giving a talk this summer. There are several topics I'd like to see a good set of talks on:
- 10x10. How are we doing on the 10x10 plan: this includes feedback from people who have done large deployments, to people working on making GNOME work in the enterprise, and people putting GNOME in embedded devices.
- Integration. GNOME needs tighter integration within itself, be this showing presence in relevant applications, integrating chat/voip into the desktop, and tighter integration between applications. Do you have a cool application that makes GNOME easier to use, or something that integrates applications, documents, and people into a cohesive whole?
- Future. Lots of new code is being written, do you have anything interesting? A replacement for gnome-vfs, progress on Project Ridley, a new implementation of something fundamental like the panel?
