I would love to encourage y'all #GUADEC attendees to use the "Download" button from the event's Indico platform (that button is in each event's details page) to use it directly in #GNOMECalendar, but… it turns out that you'd run into this silly timezones bug where the event importer dialog considers UTC times to be the local time 🤦
So… can I motivate someone to send a merge request for gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c… ? This would be timely for #GNOME's main conference next week 😉
Oh, and I love these colorful wallpapers (amazing work from @jimmac yet again!). They pair so nicely! I didn’t have to download anything to change up the look—each screenshot was just two or three clicks.
— Them: “Please test #GNOMECalendar's sidebar again” — Me, coming back from another round of testing: “Code’s haunted” — Them: “What?” — Me, loading a pistol and getting back to the bug tracker: “Code’s haunted”
Valuta has joined GNOME Circle! This neat tool lets you quickly convert between currencies. You can also choose between 3 different conversion providers. Congratulations!
Convert between currencies – Valuta is a simple and fast conversion tool, ideal for those who need to convert between different currencies repeatedly. Use it while traveling, budgeting, or anytime else you need to quickly convert...
My favorite new thing by far is accent colors. It’s so nice and refreshing to be able to really change the feel of your computer with just a few well-defined options—all while not introducing a massive burden to third-party app developers.
I’m most excited to see more apps incorporate the accent color in interesting ways, as it’s a great way to pull the user’s preferences into the app.
I’m really loving what’s coming in GNOME 47! It’s shaping up to be such a good polish release, and it keeps getting better. Huge props to all the folks who’ve been plugging away at the design and entire stack this cycle.
I'm looking forward to meeting up with folks next week in Denver for them to share more about their work this cycle and to hack on any last touches—plus planning what’s next. Join us in-person or remotely! guadec.org
Today we announce Holly Million will be departing from her role at the GNOME Foundation and we welcome Richard Littauer as Interim Executive Director. Holly's last day will be July 31.
Every #GNOMECalendar user owes a HUGE amount of gratitude to @khemicalkoder for solving the timelines backend bug that flew under the radar for years! It was causing at least two heisenbugs and obfuscating testing for a bunch of other bugs in the #GNOME calendaring application. This merge request was absolutely amazing: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

However, as my work responsibilities have grown and I’ve started some personal (non-software) projects, I’ve found myself with less time and energy for this type of contribution.
I’ve been discussing this with key people over the past year, and I plan to stay around to hand over responsibilities to other members of the Internship Committee. I will continue helping manage things for 2024, but I won’t be directly involved beyond that.
If you’re interested in helping with these activities, please reach out to the GNOME Internship Committee.
The GNOME Internship Committee is a committee of the GNOME Foundation Board of Directions. It is responsible for promoting, organizing, and conducting internship programs such as Outreachy, Google ...
And I want to say I'm loving the state of #GNOME's app ecosystem. Lots of apps, most of them really nice, many of them incredibly polished and well designed. The vision of small applications that do one thing and do it great was never so close.
All my love for the developers of these and many other great applications out there, and also for the GNOME community, for creating the ground for such an ecosystem to grow.
Join us for a walking tour of downtown Denver on our final day at #GUADEC2024! We've organized a group outing on July 24 for anyone attending in person. Want to join? Make sure to reserve your spot by July 10: events.gnome.org/event/209/pag…
#GUADEC2024 is just over a week away! Have you registered yet? Let us know if you're attending in person or remotely by signing up today: events.gnome.org/event/209/
Continuing our collaboration with the GNOME Foundation, through the Sovereign Tech Fund (STF), we have been busy on multiple fronts since our last update.
TIL if you’re using Wayland gnome you can use an iPad Pro as a second display Had to enable the extended desktop feature via the terminal emulator, but it works great! :D #linux #debian #gnome
Thanks to @slomo the #gstreamer gtk4-paintable-sink just got support for video rotations. This is nice for video apps, making playback of video recorded on phones (portrait mode) more easy or faster (avoiding a copy compared to using a dedicated gst videoflip element).
The change is even better for Snapshot, the #gnome camera app: it uses the sink for its viewfinder and avoiding additional copies here has quite an impact on #mobilelinux devices.
The Linux App Summit (LAS) is designed to accelerate the growth of the Linux application ecosystem by bringing together everyone involved in creating a great Linux application user experience.
Join us at our #GUADEC2024 social events! We're kicking things off in Denver a day early with a pre-reg party, we'll host our traditional GUADEC dinner during the conference, and we have two exciting social outing options! Learn more and sign up: events.gnome.org/event/209/pag…
I'm quite happy how upcoming performance improvements for #gnome Snapshot and #libcamera are shaping up. This is how things are now running for me on a #librem5:
Attending #GUADEC2024 in Denver and still need accommodation? Reach out to us by the end of today to reserve one of our room blocks: events.gnome.org/event/209/pag…
It's pride month ... again! July is disability pride month ♿
Maybe I will add some random thoughts and experiences related to disability to this thread over the month. So long I will leave you with the seasonal design for apps.gnome.org
There's been recently some confusion in #postmarketOS as GNOME Software is still on version 45. The main reason is that the simple plugin: github.com/Cogitri/gnome-softw… we use for APK has not been updated to follow GNOME Software's library changes. If anybody is interested in helping with maintenance for that project, I can provide guidance and reviews, and we will all be very pleased!
