Evolution (the email client, not the theory) really seems to bring out extreme emotions in its users.

RP: pgc: I'm with you, I hate evolution
dodji: yay
dodji: evo haters fanclub
chris: I also hate Evo, but everyone here loves it and wants to have its babies
ross: I've had evo's babies
chris: ross: I bet there were random duplicates

Poor Evolution.

We went back to the drawing board with OpenedHand -- lead by their vast experience with GTK+, Matchbox, and mobile user interfaces -- and redesigned an incredibly promising new interface.

I finally got my hands on a GTA01 last week, which was promptly flashed with the latest software. The new interface is pretty damn cool, with smooth colours, clear icons and subtle gradients. I'm sure Thomas will blog with more details and screenshots at some point.

The tarball is here, and packages for Debian/Ubuntu are building now.

The act of checking $? causes $? to be set to the result of the test, so this executes exit 0 if $? is non-zero.

As a discussion about climate change grows longer, the probability of stating that China is building a new coal power station every week approaches one.

When used as a defense for not attempting to reduce climate change I'd like to also invoke the sudden death variant, where the discussion is finished immediately.

• When removing sources be more paranoid. I hope this fixes the many-duplicated crasher
• Translate the program description (#450161, Gabor Kelemen)
• Bump libmusicbrainz requirement

The continual bickering and resistance to any change is driving me mad. I'm switching to reviewing the threads in gmane once a week from now on.

Aside from the usual set of software updates and infrastructure improvements, Blinky contains the first public release of Sato, an example GTK+/Matchbox based PDA environment aimed at devices with high resolution, physically small screens. This includes a new Matchbox panel and desktop, the Pimlico suite of PIM applications, and a fast, clear GTK+ theme.

Pretty much everyone at OpenedHand has been involved in Poky to some extent, so it's great to see a release. Personally I'm really pleased with how far Blinky has advanced over the last release, Clyde, and will shortly be working on a branch of Blinky to integrate the complete GNOME 2.20 release set.

If anyone is interested in Poky then it is easy to try: there are for a several devices: the Nokia N800 and several Sharp Zaurus models; and Qemu images for both ARM and Intel. Give it a go and tell us what you think!
