Are you interested in working on GNOME, writing Rust apps, or working with Fonts? If so, you may be interested in taking a look at gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-f… :)

This port may take a while, and I greatly appreciate any help available. I've laid out a list of tasks to be done before merging, and if anyone wants to take something on let me know and we can work together.

If you want to help with the effort, please join #fonts:gnome.org on Matrix :) (matrix.to/#/#fonts:gnome.org)

(boosts appreciated)

The combination of rapidly-improving technologies like GNOME, Flatpak, Wayland, and Portals also means our active privacy protections are also better than ever before.

I went on to write:

>If and when we are able to develop an open, peer reviewed, industry-respected method of responsible and privacy-first telemetry, we may consider doing so.

While that post was in the context of elementary OS, I believe every word I wrote.

Read my colleague @wjt’s post covering the privacy-first system we have built into @EndlessOS, how it fits together, and why it exists.

I hope this can serve as the beginning of the ecosystem coming together to solve this unique challenge in a way that is objectively superior than any proprietary system—all with privacy as the fundamental principle.

Wanna help out an old-school utility that just recently accomplished its port to #GTK 4? The "File Roller" compressed archives utility needs your help to fix Drag & Drop files/folders extraction to #GNOME Files (a.k.a. #Nautilus). Technical investigation and/or patches would certainly be quite welcome. gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-ro…



it's been some time since the last Muzika update, but I (and some people that joined along the way) didn't stop working on it.

A few changes:

1. Column view for playlists & albums on larger screens

2. Decent (not perfect) mobile support

3. All links are now underlined for better visibility/a11y

4. Simplified code & improved perf (not yet perfect)

5. We now have flatpak builds (CI)

6. The app now supports translations

etc, etc.

A bit last minute, but I have applied for the GNOME Foundation Board 2023 election to work on

• decentralize the GNOME in-person conference to make it more resilient and accessible

• explore opportunities to fund strategic and critical development on the GNOME project (core components, a11y, …)

If you're a GNOME foundation member, you can support my candidacy by leaving a comment on Discourse.

Voting will start 22-06-2023

GNOME Shell running out of the box on postmarketOS 23.06

Kudos to pabloyoyoista; GNOME and postmarketOS contributor / liaison :postmarketos::gnome:

He's made the GNOME experience as upstream as possible. We've discussed further improvements.

BTW, he's been looking for help blogs.gnome.org/pabloyoyoista/…

#GNOME devs: should i (continue to) contribute patches that keep your apps working in other DEs, or should i stop? one role of an umbrella organization is to encourage consistency across sub-projects and i’m getting conflicting signals now that leave me hesitant/unsure.

in the past i’ve upstreamed changes to e.g. nautilus (gnome files) to keep it working for non gnome-shell users. those fixes were well-received and the maintainers were super inviting in a way that suggested they’d appreciate future changes in the same line.

but that gnome-control-center explicitly does not start outside gnome-shell is a strong hint that they don’t want patches that improve things for non gnome-shell users, and so i shouldn’t invest in upstreaming fixes like that anymore. how broadly do i interpret this?
