GNOME Asia Summit 2025

GNOME.Asia Summit is the featured annual GNOME conference in Asia. It focuses primarily on the GNOME desktop but also covers applications and platform development tools.

^{GNOME Events (Indico)}

We're looking for some fine folks who would be willing to host Linux App Summit in April 2026 specifically we are looking for countries in Europe. If you're interested in hosting, please DM me. :)

Are there any good video players for Linux for TV shows? The user experience I'm seeking is:

- I select a folder to play
- I start watching
- I close the app
- Sometime later, I reopen the app and it loads the playlist I was watching, at roughly the same position

In essence, I want the Netflix viewing experience except with the media I already have.

Please don't recommend hacks. I'm looking for sane defaults. I prefer an app that targets #GNOME but, really, anything will do.

Your move, GNOME Friends.

One week after we kicked off our year-end fundraiser, we’ve reached 800 #FriendsOfGNOME!

Our goal is a bit more ambitious, though: 1,500 by December 31. Help us out by joining today: donate.gnome.org

If you’ve already joined or are unable to right now, you can still help by sharing this post with friends and colleagues: blogs.gnome.org/foundation/202…

Let's secure the future of GNOME together and enable us to do even more great work next year.

Guys, MosaicWM is becoming more and more stable, so I would like to start having people testing it.

I'm using #i3 (WM) over #Gnome (DE) and well, yes.

It's been what, 15 years now? It is a really *solid* foundation. Thanks #Gnome, my old friend.

Local storage (or SMB mounted remote) and Music never worked out for me. Glad I can finally listen to my giant local music library conveniently.

This year brought great improvements to #accessibility in GNOME, including:

• Accessibility from the start on the login screen
• Full accessibility of GNOME Web
• Tons of improvements to Calendar
• Screen reader integration for Notifications
• Configure #Orca screen reader from Settings
• GTK apps integrated w/Windows & macOS accessibility

Help us reach 1,500 #FriendsOfGNOME so we can focus on accessibility even more in 2026!

RE: floss.social/@gnome/1156624308…

I've finally put my money where my mouth is and joined the other #FriendsOfGNOME.

I've been using #GNOME since the #HelixCode/#Ximian days shortly after 1.0 and while I have certainly tried other DEs over time, GNOME remains my go-to desktop project after all of these years. It just vibes with how my brain works and what it likes. It is one of my FLOSS rocks.

The consistency, attention to details, and un-overwhelming/non-stim-triggering design has been a comfort to me all of these years later.

I'm finally, 26ish years on, finally in a place that I can actively, and responsibly, support incredible projects like GNOME.

This year we delivered new Digital Wellbeing features for GNOME including Screen Time history and limits, break reminders for movement and eye health, and improved parental controls with Screen Time integration.

This work was coordinated by the GNOME Foundation thanks to a grant from Endless, and implemented by valued community developers @pwithnall and @ignapk with support from design team member @snwh.

It feels human.

This can't be overstated, most modern software feels like it's built for corporate interests, not the humans which use it.

Microsoft, Apple, they all do it. #GNOME feels different, in the very best sort of way.

Tak jsem se také přidal. Zrušil jsem předplatné dvou streamovacích služeb, které stejně skoro vůbec nevyužívám, a místo toho jsem se skamarádil s GNOME.

Contrary to what many people think, I could adapt #GNOME48 to my particular needs and blogged about my customizations: karl-voit.at/Gnome-Setup/

gsettings is great to reproduce the setup on other machines. 👍

#GNOME shines on simple setups but seems to have some issues when the setup gets a bit more complex.

Furthermore, speed was an issue at my side: I was a heavy user of invoking the GNOME shell for starting applications and switch windows but unfortunately that was a bit of a drag to be honest.

Visually, the GNOME UI is great.

RE: floss.social/@gnome/1156504884…

#Gnome is one of many open source projects I am regularly donating to. I use it every day on laptops at home, on laptop at work and hopefully one day on my daily driven phone. Do you also like it? Donate few dollars too. Be #FriendsOfGnome.

Today we bring you significantly better scrolling performance in GNOME Calendar's month view. It no longer lags on my PC!

gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c… is mostly solved with a combination of Georges' gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c… and @TheEvilSkeleton's gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c….

Enjoy it in Nightly, or @gnome 50.

This is why I use a 16-years-old PC as my main development machine: it forces you to solve every performance issue, instead of throwing faster hardware at the problem.

WE DID IT, WE FUCKING DID IT

WE GOT KEYBOARD NAVIGATION WORKING IN GNOME CALENDAR'S MONTH VIEW

gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c… (not merged yet)

Do note that the screen recording attached won't have any alt text, to avoid redundancy. Everything written below is a detailed explanation of the experience, and the recording is essentially a visual demonstration:

- When entering the month view with Tab, focus is set to the first event widget, and pressing Tab will focus the next event widget horizontally.
- Ctrl+Tab will move focus to the month cell located at the focused event widget. Ctrl+Arrow will move focus to the edges of the view.
- When out of boundaries horizontally, the focus moves onto the other side of the view.
- When out of boundaries vertically, the view will automatically scroll to that direction.
- Shift+Arrow will move focus and initiate selection; pressing arrow keys will select ranges of cells, and letting go of Shift will display the new event popover.
- When a month cell has overflowing events (as in, there are not enough event widgets that can fit inside the month cell), pressing tab will focus the overflow button, and activating it will show a list of events.
