GNOME and KDE development course

,----[ Quote ]
| Recently we have finished creating the 
| materials for the Application development for 
| GNOME and KDE course we have been working on 
| for CENATIC. It is a modular course, so for 
| example you can take only the modules for 
| GNOME programming or KDE programming. It has 
| been designed for on-line training (using e-
| larning systems that support SCORM format, as 
| moodle), presential learning or mixed 
| combination of boths.

First GNOME 3.0 Development Release Available

,----[ Quote ]
| The much anticipated GNOME 3.0 release is 
| coming in March, but the first development 
| release (v2.29.1) for GNOME 3.0 (a.k.a. 
| 2.30) is now available this week. For 
| months now we have seen early development 
| snapshots of the new Zeitgeist, GNOME 
| Shell, and Mutter modules, but now that 
| GNOME 2.28 was released, all of these free 
| software developers have turned their 
| attention towards the major 3.0 release.

An Introduction to GNOME 3.0

,----[ Quote ]
| The presentation focuses on three things:
|
|    1. What is GNOME
|    2. History of GNOME (up to and including a brief
|    overview of GNOME 2.28)
|    3. GNOME 3.0
|
| One thing I hope attendees take away is that GNOME
| 3.0 is more than just GNOME Shell. I believe the
| call to action in the GNOME 3.0 community that
| Vincent and the release team started back in April
| and that continued at GUADEC really motivated a
| number of teams to see what they could do to
| contribute to GNOME 3.0. In the presentation I talk
| about Accessibility, Documentation, Marketing, the
| GNOME Developer Platform, the GNOME Activity Journal
| and Zeitgeist, Tomboy Online and GNOME Shell
| (including a demo).

A Quick Look At Gnome 3âs Desktop Sidebar

,----[ Quote ]
| The sidebar is disabled by default in current builds of Gnome-
| Shell (Gnome 3âs new interface) and i think there may be a
| reason for that: Itâs borderline pointless. By the time it
| takes to shuffle your mouse over to the sidebar you could
| nudge it up to the top left and get a greater variety of
| options and files.

The path to GNOME 3.0

,----[ Quote ]
| GNOME â the FOSS desktop for Linux and Unix â is currently
| at version 2.26. The next release will be 2.28, leading
| towards the next major release, version 3.0, which if
| everything goes well should be released in the spring of
| 2010. Our associates in Germany, heise open, recently had
| the opportunity to interview GNOME release manager Vincent
| Untz about the project. Untz reveals the projects future
| plans for the GNOME desktop and talks about the User
| Interface, the new window manager Mutter, the GNOME Shell,

Shuttleworth about GNOME 3.0 - What's good, what's missing, what needs work

,----[ Quote ]
| Sees good possibility of having a common meta-release cycle with Debian - Not
| sure if GNOME3 will make the next LTS
|
| In the last few years Ubuntu has emerged as the dominant force in the Linux
| Deskop field. The distribution is heavily associated with one name: Mark
| Shuttleworth is not only founder an current boss of Canonical, the company
| behind Ubuntu, he has also been providing the financial resources without
| which Ubuntu in its current form would not exist. During the recent Gran
| Canaria Desktop Summit Andreas Proschofsky had the chance to conduct the
| following interview with Shuttleworth.

Shuttleworth hints at later Ubuntu LTS

,----[ Quote ]
| The expectation was that the next LTS version would be 10.04, due for release
| in April 2010, but in an interview with derStandard.at, Shuttleworth
| says "The LTS will be either 10.04 or 10.10 - based on a conversation that is
| going on right now betweeen Debian and Ubuntu".

Gnome sets sights on 2010 for 3.0 release

,----[ Quote ]
| With Gnome 2.26 safely out the door the Gnome development team is now
| planning for Gnome 3.0, a release it expects to make in March next year.
| Responding to growing criticism that the Gnome project lacks vision the team
| says that the 3.0 milestone release will have to have âbig user-visible
| changesâ.
|
| âIf you look closely at our community, itâd be wrong to say that people are
| lacking a vision; but the project as a whole does indeed have this issue,â
| the team said in its public posting. With this in mind the team is looking at
| a release that will both streamline the desktop as well as revamp the overall
| user experience by giving users new ways of interacting with their desktop
| and managing files.

| which will be renumbered as 3.0.0 when released in March 2010.

Planning for GNOME 3.0

,----[ Quote ]
| During the first few months of 2008, a few Release Team members discussed
| here and there about the state of GNOME. This was nothing official, and it
| could actually have been considered as some friends talking together about
| things they deeply care about. There were thoughts that GNOME could stay with
| the 2.x branch for a very long time given our solid development methods, but
| that it was not the future that our community wants to see happening. Because
| of lack of excitement. Because of lack of vision. Slowly, a plan started to
| emerge. It evolved, changed, was trimmed a bit, made more solid. We started
| discussing with a few more people, got more feedback. And then, at GUADEC,
| the Release Team proposed an initial plan to the community that would lead
| the project to GNOME 3.0. Quite some time passed; actually, too much time
| passed because too many people were busy with other things. But it's never
| too late to do the right thing, so let's really be serious about GNOME 3.0 \
| now!
