GNOME Boston Summit 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| Each year over Columbus Day weekend, GNOME
| developers â especially North Americans â
| gather for a casual hackfest in Boston,
| Massachusetts. The atmosphere is friendly
| and informal; most of the attendees know
| each other from other GNOME events. There
| are no booths at the event; companies are
| only represented by their employees.
|
| This yearâs Summit was especially
| productive. With a clear goal in sight
| (GNOME 3.0), everyone seemed to be on-task.
| Discussions were cordial and not too
| tangential. Ideas were rapidly brought up
| and filtered. New objectives were set and
| agreed upon. And, perhaps best of all, this
| Summit was very cohesive: almost everyone
| was able to attend every session that they
| needed to.

Writing Multimedia Applications with Vala
,----[ Quote ]
| The story of Vala begins with JÃrg
| Billeter. He noted that writing and
| refactoring GObject-based code in C
| required a lot of extra work that more
| modern languages automated. He also noted
| that these modern languages do not produce
| libraries that can be easily used in other
| environments. He wanted a full-featured
| object-oriented language that could produce
| C-style interfaces automatically. (See the
| Gee collection class for a perfect example
| of Vala solving this problem.) He mentioned
| his idea to fellow student Raffaele
| Sandrini, who jumped in to help build the
| early compiler.
