The GNOME Census project
,----[ Quote ]
| We will be launching a survey this week
| asking GNOME developers who they work for,
| and whether they have worked for other
| companies previously â because of the
| widespread use of gnome.org email addresses
| in GNOME, unfortunately it has not always
| been easy to identify companies behind the
| people. We also want qualitative
| information on projects you work on,
| whether you work on GNOME in your free
| time, and more. We are be breaking down
| GNOME development by core platform,
| external dependencies, GNOME desktop, GNOME
| hosted applications and other GNOME
| applications. Vanessa will be sending out a
| very short survey to everyone who has
| committed to GNOME, and we need your help
| to make the census as useful as possible to
| the GNOME project.

Deconstructing Nautilus and rebuilding it better
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, if you follow the active development
| of GNOME as much as I do, you may have
| heard of two recent technologies actively
| being developed. They are Zeitgeist and the
| GNOME Activity Journal. What are they?
| Well, Zeitgeist is a little, unobtrusive
| daemon that ticks quietly away in the
| background and records every file you
| access, every image you edit, essentially
| every event you perform on your computer
| and keeps a chronological Journal of this
| information for other applications to use.
| This is the core engine that runs quietly
| in the background. The frontend to this is
| the GNOME Activity Journal â an application
| that allows you to browse and search
| through Zeitgeistâs recordings of your
| activities and interact with that
| information. One of the developers of the
| GNOME Activity Journal posted a very handy
| video showing it in action. I use it myself
| and it is very handy. I also use Docky2 on
| my desktop that has Zeitgeist interaction.
| One of the options when you right-click on
| a launcher in Docky2 is the Journal entry,
| that allows you to browse through recent
| events and files accessed in that
| particular application. A stroke of genius.
| Again hereâs a handy little video
| demonstrating Docky2 with Zeitgeist
| integration.

GNOME and Project:Possibility: collaboration in open source accessibility
,----[ Quote ]
| Project:Possibility organise team coding
| competitions for computer science students.
| The the goal of these SS12 events is to
| create accessibility software that will be
| of benefit to real users. These weekend
| âcode-a-thonsâ bring the students together
| with a mentor from industry and provide an
| exciting chance to learn something about
| accessibility, while creating open source
| software. Thus students get exposure to
| topics and skills that are still sadly
| absent from many computer science courses.
| Plus they get to have fun and win prizes.

Nautilus With Zeitgeist Integration Already Functional [How-to]
,----[ Quote ]
| To use it you can either patch Nautilus or
| just have a new bookmark in Nautilus. If you
| are not very confortable with compiling
| software from source, I suggest you skip to
| the "For both with and without the Nautilus
| patch (start from here to install it without
| the Nautilus patch!)" part.

Nautilus Just Got Gorgeous
,----[ Quote ]
| The Nautilus file-manager included in
| Ubuntu is... well.. crowded. We already saw
| some changes developers are taking to tame
| to the vast areas of wasted space and
| useless buttons in our over-view of Ubuntu
| Lucid Alpha 2 and prior to that we drooled
| over a 'Simplified Nautilus' - which is
| sadly no longer updated.
