The GNOME Open Desktop Day
,----[ Quote ]
| With the upcoming release of GNOME 3.0,
| software development interests will focus
| increasingly on improved user experience,
| accessibility and application use. While
| the GUADEC 2010 conference aims to prmote
| all of these ideals through the work of
| the GNOME Foundation, the GNOME Open
| Desktop Day will place important attention
| on the desktop in government and
| education.

Four Great Gnome Panel Applets
,----[ Quote ]
| Gnome is the most popular Linux desktop
| environment and one of it's key features
| that makes it so wonderful is the "gnome
| panel". For those unfamiliar the "gnome
| panel" is the bar that is typically
| located at the bottom (and top sometimes)
| of the screen where your menu, task-bar,
| and icon tray are located. If you have
| never done it, try right clicking on some
| blank space and click "add to panel". You
| will be presented with a list of applets
| you can add to the panel. While there are
| a good number to choose from by default,
| there are piles of other applets you can
| find online to install. The following is a
| list of my four favorites I use on my
| various Linux systems around my house.

GNOME Training confirmed!
,----[ Quote ]
| A few days ago, I took the risk of setting
| off alarm bells on the GNOME developer
| training sessions planned for GUADEC this
| year. It was a risk, and comments from the
| naysayers reminded me that itâs easier to do
| nothing than it is to take a risk. Iâm happy
| to say that the risk paid off.

New module decisions for GNOME 3.0
,----[ Quote ]
| Following some lengthy discussions within
| the GNOME community, release manager
| Vincent Untz has published a summary of the
| new modules to be included in the next
| major release of the GNOME desktop
| environment for Linux and Unix. GNOME 3.0,
| scheduled to arrive in September of this
| year, will not include the GNOME Activity
| Journal, formerly known as GNOME Zeitgeist.
| The Activity Journal allows users to locate
| documents chronologically and supports
| tagging and relationships between groups of
| files. According to Untz, it will not be
| included because it "needs more integration
| with the rest of the desktop and the
| overall GNOME design; right now, it feels
| too much like a stand alone application."

| development series that will lead up to
| the Clutter 1.4 release that's expected to
