#GNOME #GNOMECircle

Not only to reduce carbon emissions and save developers in central Europe from having to fly to the US for the @gnome #GUADEC this summer, we organize a "Mini Guadec" in #Berlin and now found a venue in the #Regenbogenfabrik including its own hostel:

Looking forward!
More infos to come.

#Digital #Sustainability #Gnome

We have a venue for Berlin Mini GUADEC in July! Join us July 19-24 at Regenbogenfabrik in Kreuzberg 🌈🏭

If you're coming from outside Berlin and need accommodation, there's still a few spots at the Regenbogenfabrik Hostel. Book them while you can :)

By popular demand we're moving the GNOME 46 Berlin release party by one week, to Saturday April 6th and Sunday 7th.

Everything else remains the same, we're still going to do hacking, cooking, and talks at @offline on Saturday and more focused hacking on Sunday :)

This week we released #GNOME 46 “Kathmandu”! 🥳

Time to let the cat out of the bag.

I've been working on a new app to use your #Linux phones and tablets as secondary wireless "side displays" (not mirrors). This is based on #GStreamer, x264, #Mutter APIs, and low-latency UDP streaming, and will be designed to work on both ARM and Intel, regardless of hardware acceleration support. (Testing on a #librem5)

This is still at an early stage, and will take some time to become usable. Thoughts and feedback?

#gnome #linuxphones #apps #mobilelinux

The #GUADEC2024 CfP is still open for a few more days! Make sure to submit your talks, BoF, and workshop proposals by March 24: events.gnome.org/event/209/abs…

Happy coding

#GNOME #development

The newly released 0.7.0 version of @Tuba, your #GNOME-native #Mastodon client, is friggin' awesome. Not only does it ship tons of bugfixes and allows darker images in dark mode, but it also ships the ability to create, edit and apply words filters (as you can see in my screenshot here) so you can simplify your timelines views.

Congratulations to #MastoDev @GeopJr for this fantastic leap forward!

#Gnome WOO.. #Not !!

#Whut .. @gnome

..still no mouse driven, simple add a desktop App icon? till you learn this .. remain banished in the paleolithic, no deployment, till you you can demonstrate basic userland concepts . . . (without jammin' your mandatory 'efficiency' #BS work flow agenda down my neck, how the f___ do you know what I need?? You did not ask! ) .. so, its #KDE #XFCE #LXDE for me and my users.. who sometimes just ~ want~ it on the desktop.

#Seriously .. _____ off.

I'm happy to announce the first release of Hieroglyphic, a forked and updated version of TeX-Match, which helps to find LaTeX symbols by drawing them. It's available for download on Flathub (flathub.org/apps/io.github.fin…).

Actually it was a couple of hours ago before GNOME 46 but I didn't want to steal the show 😎

Here are the highlights 💡

Inline diagnostics for #Rust and #Python

New Library demos: 📚

"Snapshot" to demonstrate one of GTK4 coolest feature.

"Dialog" and "Message Dialogs" to demonstrate libadwaita 1.5 new responsive dialogs.

26 demos ported to Python
5 demos ported to Vala

Wohooo! Congratulations, and well done to everyone involved!

Thank you devs, thank you designers, thank you translators, thank you bug reporters, thank you QA people, thank you feature suggesters, thank you money donators, thank you evangelists, thank you documenters, thank you people working tirelessly in the background with keeping up the websites and communication channels and schedules and meetings and brewing coffee and everything else that's needed for #Gnome to be all that it is!

Vielen Dank und ich freue mich auf diese Fedora Version wo #GNOME 46 der Standard ist. Aber seien wir ehrlich. Welche der mitgelieferten Apps sind brauchbar und was fehlt? Was ist mit Card/Cal DAV Support? .

Memorize is a very useful flashcards app to help you in your studies! Write up, edit, revise and quiz yourself on whatever it is you are trying to learn. The app lets you build your own sets of cards, or import them from Anki and Quizlet decks. When you're ready, the test mode can create a preparation exam for you, letting you catch those final mistakes!

You can follow the app's creator here: @david_swift

Sam Thursfield, a software engineer at Codethink, recently led a project for Outreachy covering improving end-to-end testing for #GNOME.

Outreachy is an organisation that provides paid open source internships to people who are subject to systematic bias and underrepresentation.

A few days ago I talked about why I chose #Fedora #Silverblue and how finding the right environment for me would be a motivation to contribute to #OpenSource projects, something I've always wanted to do. Well... I finally made it! 🎉

I've implemented a small feature (link below) in #Errands, the best to-do app for #GNOME. It's already merged so it will appear in a future version! ✅

Yes, it's a modest first step, but also an impulse to keep supporting projects I like! 😊

Show/Hide Completed Tasks button · Issue #138 · mrvladus/Errands

Hello, I have a lot of completed tasks that I don't want to be deleted. Would be nice to have a button on a task list that would show/hide completed tasks.

^GitHub

After being kneecapped by a #patents troll years ago, #Mozilla Location Services, the only somewhat trusted (non-Google/Apple) "Wi-Fi positioning system" (geolocation based on triangulating collected #WiFi SSIDs), is now shutting down: github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/iss…

MLS was how #GeoClue could get a meters-accurate location without a #GPS receiver / sky line-of-sight.

It was used by many #GNOME / #KDE apps to get instantaneous neighborhood-level location (for maps, local weather…) on #Linux laptops.

Announcing the program for the GNOME release party on March 30+31 🥳️

On Saturday we're trying something different from previous editions with cooking, talks, etc. It will be a bit of an experiment, but I think it's going to be a lot of fun 🧑‍🍳️🍲️🥕️

To make up for it we're meeting on Sunday specifically for hacking though :)

If you already know you're coming please add your name to the list on the Hedgedoc: hedgedoc.gnome.org/gnome46-ber…

Edit: The event has been moved to April 6+7

So @gnome is removing the x11 session, leaving just the Wayland one.

If this goes out before Orca, the GNOME screen reader, is fixed to work on Wayland, it will mean that people who rely on screen readers will have no way to use one on GNOME. And thus on the major Linux distributions.

So I’m hoping the plan is that this change will not land until GNOME has a working screen reader.
