#GNOME 47 Desktop Environment Is Slated for Release on September 18th, 2024 9to5linux.com/gnome-47-desktop…
@gnome #Linux #OpenSource
The upcoming GNOME 47 desktop environment has a release schedule with a release date set for September 18th, 2024.Marius Nestor (9to5Linux)
Reminder: instead of using StackOverflow for your questions about GTK and the GNOME software stack, use the GNOME Discourse instance:
You can also use it for applications and the overall GNOME desktop.

I have a huge amount of appreciation for the fact that Nautilus / #GNOMEFiles can seamlessly pattern-select, batch-rename and move files both from its treeview and from search results… all with keyboard shortcuts! *Extremely* useful to clean up filenames.
Today, in someone else's messy folders, I was able to cleanly rename everything and eliminate at least 40 duplicates in a directory that contained over 180 files, most of which were in the wrong locations.
Shoutout to Fina Wilke's Warp! Such a nice, self-contained way to just send stuff between devices. Works like a charm for both my 5GB music folder and that Markdown document I wanted to bring with me on my laptop to do some editing while away from my room. Take it for a spin and experience the magic for yourself!
Fast and secure file transfer – Warp allows you to securely send files to each other via the internet or local network by exchanging a word-based code. The best transfer method will be determined using the ...apps.gnome.org

Are you interested in hosting #GUADEC2025 in your city? Make sure to let us know by submitting your intent to bid by May 3! foundation.gnome.org/2024/04/1…
This is not your full proposal, just a short form that lets us know who you are and where you want to host.
After more annoyances that Gnome/RedHat is pulling lately ( gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita… ), I just donated to #Linux #Mint, instead of my original intention, #Gnome.
The Gnome Project is a wall-garden, but not of the Apple kind. It's a club of mostly #Redhat programmers & a few select others, and either you're in it, or you're not. Your user needs, your bug reports, your patches, all end up on /dev/null. They listen to no one. Never have, never will.
So, my money went to a fork.

GNOME will be mentoring 8 new contributors for Google Summer of Code 2024
We are happy to announce that GNOME was assigned eight slots for Google Summer of Code projects this year!
GSoC is a program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development. A number of long term GNOME developers are former GSoC interns, making the program a very valuable entry point for new members in our project.
In 2024 we will mentoring the following projects:
| Project Title | Contributor | Assigned Mentor(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Add TypeScript Support to Workbench | Angelo Verlain Shema | Sonny Piers |
| Port Workbench demos to Vala, build a new Workbench Library, and replace the current code search | Bharat Tyagi | Sonny Piers |
| Improve Tracker SPARQL developer experience by creating a “web IDE” for developing queries | Demigod | Carlos Garnacho |
| Papers’ small screen and touch support for mobile and tablet | Markus Göllnitz | Pablo Correa Gomez |
| More durable synching for FlatSync | Mattia Formichetti | Rasmus Thomsen |
| Port libipuz to Rust | pranjal_ | jrb |
| Improve Tracker SPARQL developer experience by creating “web IDE” for developing queries | rachle08 | Carlos Garnacho |
| Add support for the latest GIR attributes and gi-docgen formatting to Valadoc | sudhanshuv1 | Lorenz Wildberg |
As part of the contributor’s acceptance into GSoC they are expected to actively participate in the Community Bonding period (May 1 – 26). The Community Bonding period is intended to help prepare contributors to start contributing at full speed starting May 27.
The new contributors will soon get their blogs added to Planet GNOME making it easy for the GNOME community to get to know them and the projects that they will be working on.
We would like to also thank our mentors for supporting GSoC and helping new contributors enter our project.
If you have any doubts, feel free to reply to this Discourse topic or message us privately at soc-admins@gnome.org

This will allow to make video playback in various apps much faster. And, if everything works out, allow the same for Camera viewfinders in apps like #gnome camera / snapshot 🤞

Welcome to our newest GNOME Foundation member @eeejay 🎉
Eitan has been involved in Linux/GNOME accessibility for 20 years and is on the Mozilla accessibility team.
In the past he created Accerciser, and contributed to Orca as well as Telepathy.
Eitan makes Spiel; a speech framework for the freedesktop.
I heard you might be able to catch him at GUADEC in Denver this year.
For a mere £1M - the amount of engineering that the @gnome project has been doing this year is nothing short of phenomenal. The App Ecosystem is worth investing in.

This year's Linux App Summit and GUADEC will be awesome I think :)
As part of the GNOME @sovtechfund project we've been working on improving notifications in GNOME (and the wider free desktop) 🔔✨
In this blog post @jsparber gives an update on the current state, what's already landed in 46, and what's coming in the near future!

Dear GNOME, GTK and friend developers 🧑💻 
Have you ever encountered an issue with #Blueprint? Please file an issue, and we'll look at it for Blueprint 1.0
gitlab.gnome.org/jwestman/blue…
We aim for supporting all GTK builder syntax and 100% XML↔Blueprint porting compatibility.
#GTK #GNOME #libadwaita
A markup language for GTK user interfaces. Docs: https://jwestman.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/blueprint-compiler/GitLab
@sonny It's a tricky one, but I think it should be doable to make it work somehow. For being featured the first screenshot is most important, you can preview that here: docs.flathub.org/banner-previe…
More generally, I'd reduce the number of screenshots to 3 or so (e.g. first, second, last) and avoid manual compositing with multiple windows as much as possible. Happy to discuss this more in detail, but might be better on Matrix, e.g. #flathub or #gnome-design :)
A new version of GNOME Podcasts is out - you can now search for podcasts in-app using iTunes search
