Hey #gnome and #kde people, since you are at #fosdem could you maybe discuss what would it take to make a common toolkit (Linux toolkit?) that would appeal to both #c and #cpp devs? Basically covering both platforms so we could converge. Maybe #swiftlang? Fork of #Kotlin native? Seems to me we would be better off with people writing mobile apps for Linux desktop, than people writing web apps and electron garbage on desktop.
Thank you to everyone else who contributed and thanks to Simon for the trust and maintainer work!
We need more eyes on that code!
The xdg-utils are children of their time, shellscripts that by large don’t follow a “modern” scripting style …
… which means that there is a lot of work to catch up on and any changes should be reviewed by more people than they currently are. In case you want to help: Just pick something that seems interesting and doable for you and open an issue/merge request.
Things that need to be done:
Read the code and try to find mistakes (Usage of external tools, escaping, …)
xdg-utils 1.2.0 contains contributions from over 20 people (thankyou) some of the highlights are listed below. better support for Plasma6, Deepin, LXQt partial...
GNOME Beers is starting in an hour! Join us at Pommodoro (Rue du Progrès 31, 1210 Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Bruxelles, Belgium) starting at 8:00 PM. All are welcome to join, we’d love you to come along and socialize, meet staff, and chat with core contributors. foundation.gnome.org/2024/01/2…
The slides from my second #FOSDEM talk of the day - What can digital open source projects do to reduce our environmental footprint - is up. It is a lightnight talk, so not a lot of text, but, I think the notes are available. docs.google.com/presentation/d…
What can digital open source projects do to reduce our environmental footprint FOSDEM Feb 3, 2024 — 5 Minute Lightning Talk The world is slowly waking up to the realities of our climate crisis.
“I would love to have the environmental impact numbers for Drupal, that the Wagtail has for Wagtail”
@mgifford speaking about accessibility and web sustainability at #FOSDEM. Figured the @wagtail group would appreciate this. More below, with a link to his talk
Web Accessibility and Environmental Sustainability and with Popular CMS FOSDEM Feb 3, 2024 Web Accessibility has a lot of complexities, and most CMS do not have the capacity to invest in it sufficiently.
This image was the result of an experiment playing with an AI image generator. I had asked for a blue bird in the shape of a padlock, as a potential way to symbolize email encryption in our software. I brought some stickers with it to #Fosdem and many visitors of our #Thunderbird booth took one, because we were already out of other stickers. I'd like to clarify, it is NOT an official image of our project, it was created just for fun.
Don't forget to visit Team Thunderbird at our stand in Building K, Level 1, B8! We've got great people to talk to and those sweet stickers we previewed!
