- I think my talk about Hildon Desktop went
quite nicely. Well, that’s what I’ve heard from the attendees :-)
- Some interesting ideas came out from
Havoc‘s and
Bryan‘s keynote about Online Desktop.
I still don’t see much sense in something like Big Board or an online-only
desktop flavor. But yes, we need to take the new web services into account in
GNOME Desktop in interesting ways. I have some ideas for Eye of GNOME plugins
for instance. :-P
- Very strong presence of GNOME mobile related people in GUADEC. I’m pretty
excited about what is yet to come in this area. Yay!
- I love the stickers that came in the conference bag!
- The GUADEC 2007 group in
Flickr group has some nice shots
- Mirco brought some interesting ideas and
demo in his talk about a possible next
generation GNOME Desktop. There are lots of yet-to-be-answered questions on
this subject but I think it’s always good to see people bringing fresh new
ideas for discussion.
- Xan and
Fer rocked our world with an awesome
intro talk for the GTK+ 3.0 BoF! It’s cool to see the GTK+ community starting
to consider in a more concrete way the next iteration of our beloved toolkit.
- I commited a patch by Hubert that adds
XMP support to Eye of GNOME (based on exempi). Hub, you rock!
- Vincent can’t say “Hello” with a
british accent. HA HA HA! Dude, I love you!
- Danilo, Da Da Da! Dje!
- Etrunko, thanks for lending me your iPod
with loads of cool “caipira” songs!
- Very nice to meet again Thomas,
Andreas,
Claudio, Izabel and many others!
