Is anyone interested in a GNOME University meetup while at FOSDEM ‘13? Leave a comment if you are so I can get an idea of how many.
I would imagine we could use that time for asking questions, guidance, individual help regarding your free software projects and what not. jhbuild also seems to be a common [...]
The turnout for GnomeUniversity has been absolutely outstanding! We have about 85-90 “students” that have contacted me so far. The students have a wide variety of locations, experience, and age. I absolutely love it!
I’m still writing the introductory content, but things will start progressing shortly.
The requests to join Gnome University has been overwhelming. I simply cannot keep up with the incoming requests on a daily basis. Fear not, I’ve received and read them and will not forget about you, I just need to batch up the processing of those emails to every couple days.
I’m still busy writing content.
I have already heard from more than 40 people that want to contribute to our platform. We have some exciting times ahead.
I’m spending all my free time at the moment taking inventory of peoples goals and their current experience. I’m not sure how the process will proceed yet. I am dilligently putting resources together so [...]
I’m interested in teaching one or more people how to write C for desktop GNU/Linux. This includes Gtk/GObject and related technologies. No particular C experience is required, and I’ll figure out how to move forward once I have an understanding of your experience.
This is just as much an exercise for myself as it will be [...]
I’ve just released a new version of my Mongo driver for GObject. The main development this cycle was to support lazy connections to Mongo so that we could queue requests during network partitions, startup, and failover. As always, there is plenty of resiliency work to do, but the design is starting to take shape. The [...]
I did a bit more work on the real-time graphs during my current vacation. It has resulted in being a whole lot smoother. Primary fixes were:
Graph tracks time rather than “available buckets” for data points. It works so much better I feel stupid for not doing it in the first place.
Use floating point for positioning [...]
I wanted to take a few moments to explain my silly little vision of perfkit’s destiny. It already has the basis for some of this, however, that doesn’t change the fact that it is still a toy and in its infancy. (I will continue to emphasize that it is a toy until [...]
I’ve been busy working on something. It is still just a toy. It’s called perfkit. Fork me on Github.
I’m getting older, and I’m having trouble remembering how to use every little tool under the sun. From valgrind, to interesting proc files, to ftrace and perf. You get the idea. So [...]
Some readers may remember that I spent some time working on a DateTime structure for GLib last year. After much refinement by others better than myself, it has been included in GLib master. Much thanks to Thiago Sousa Santos, Emmanuele Bassi, and the countless reviewers.
You can find some quick examples here.
GDateTime is both [...]
