GNOME and KDE to co-locate 2011 Desktop Summit
,----[ Quote ]
| Following the success of last year's Gran
| Canaria Desktop Summit (GCDS), Joe "Zonker"
| Brockmeier, former Community Manager at
| Novell, has announced that the GNOME
| Foundation and KDE e.V. boards have decided
| to once again co-locate their flagship
| conferences, Akademy and GUADEC, in 2011. In
| addition to simply co-locating the events, as
| they did in 2009, GNOME Foundation board
| Member Vincent Untz says that he hopes that
| the projects can "actually plan a combined
| schedule in 2011 so that KDE and GNOME
| contributors have every opportunity to work
| with and learn from each other."

Testing the Gnome 3 Release Candidate
,----[ Quote ]
| Although thereâs no official word on when
| Gnome 3 will become the default desktop
| environment in Ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth
| suggested last summer that the October 2010
| release, or Ubuntu 10.10, would be a likely
| target.
|
| Given my experience with the new Gnome, Iâm
| not convinced thatâs a good idea, unless a
| lot changes on Gnomeâs end between now and
| the fall. But Iâll save my criticism for
| another post. Below, Iâll focus on what
| Gnome 2.30/3 actually does, and how itâs so
| different from its predecessors.

Mutter 2.29.1 Brings Dependence On Clutter 1.2
,----[ Quote ]
| Mutter, the new window manager designed for
| GNOME 3.0 integration to replace Metacity 2,
| has experienced a new development release.
| Mutter reached version 2.29.0 last month and
| it integrated the most recent Metacity
| changes (up to v2.26), improved appearance of
| scaled down windows using mipmap emulation,
| new signals and properties, and many other
| changes. Metacity 2.29.1 that's been released
| today doesn't bring as many changes to the
| table.

KDM and Plasma: A future.
,----[ Quote ]
| I'd like to talk about KDM and Plasma
| combining forces. Well, since I always need
| to be coding something, regardless of
| whether or not I have any free-time, I have
| (begun to plan out and create(began today),
| a Plasma frontend for our login manager,
| kdm. Before anyone begins shaking their
| fists in the air and such, I must stress
| this...The Plasma frontend will be
| *optional*. So if you dislike Plasma that
| much for some reason or are close-minded
| (perhaps mutually inclusive?): the regular,
| currently used frontend can be used.
