GNOME is Sponsoring an Outreachy Internship Project for GNOME Crosswords!
We are excited to announce that the GNOME Foundation is sponsoring an Outreachy internship project for the June 2025 to August 2025 internship round!
Outreachy provides internships to people subject to systemic bias and impacted by underrepresentation in the technical industry where they are living.
The intern will work with mentors Jonathan Blandford, Federico Mena Quintero, and Tanmay Patil on the project Add Wordlist Scoring to the GNOME Crosswords Editor.
The intern’s blog will soon be added to Planet GNOME, where you can follow their project updates and learn more about them. Stay tuned!

#Ubuntu 25.04 will be released today (maybe it already is), so here is my look at this new update!
The TLDR is: I thought it wouldn't have that much, but it turns out that between #GNOME 48, APT 3.0, Nvidia dynamic boost, and a new default app, there's a lot to cover!
Also, props to Xubuntu for the move to XFCE 4.20, that's going to be a big change for Xubuntu users!

GNOME Welcomes Its Google Summer of Code 2025 Contributors!
We are happy to announce that five contributors are joining the GNOME community as part of GSoC 2025!
This year’s contributors will work on backend isolation in GNOME Papers, adding eBPF profiling to Sysprof, adding printing support in GNOME Crosswords, and Vala’s XML/JSON/YAML integration improvements. Let’s give them a warm welcome!
In the coming days, our new contributors will begin onboarding in our community channels and services. Stay tuned to Planet GNOME to read their introduction blog posts and learn more about their projects.

I'm glad I created the "1. Performance" label globally in #GNOME's GitLab instance two years ago, and encouraged maintainers to use it. Its now much easier to identify & manage performance issues at scale, and to have numbers to show for it.
We can see hundreds (a thousand?) of performance issues were solved: =1.+Performance]https://gitlab.gnome.org/groups/GNOME/-/issues/?state=closed&label_name[]=1.+Performance
…same if looking only at MRs (when people actually label them), 500+ performance MRs: =1.+Performance]https://gitlab.gnome.org/groups/GNOME/-/merge_requests/?state=merged&label_name[]=1.+Performance
It's paying off.

Good to see the new Planet GNOME is now live. It's been a long time coming.
Thanks to @felipeborges for re-implementing the whole thing!
It’s alive! Welcome to the new Planet GNOME!
A few months ago, I announced that I was working on a new implementation of Planet GNOME, powered by GitLab Pages. This work has reached a point where we’re ready to flip the switch and replace the old Planet website.
You can check it out at planet.gnome.org
This was only possible thanks to various other contributors, such as Jakub Steiner, who did a fantastic job with the design and style, and Alexandre Franke, who helped with various papercuts, ideas, and improvements.
As with any software, there might be regressions and issues. It would be a great help if you report any problems you find at gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Website…
Here’s to blogs, RSS feeds, and the open web!
Issues · Teams / Websites / planet.gnome.org · GitLab
[WIP] This is an implementation of Planet that uses a static website/feed generator and publishes as GitLab Pages Publishing address https://teams.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/websites/planet.gnome.org...GitLab
Some GNOME websites are getting modernized and simplified, but Planet GNOME has fallen behind. Not anymore. I started a prototype for a Python script to publish Planet GNOME with GitLab Pages/CI.As Planet GNOME Editor, I am often asked to look for blog and syndication issues I couldn’t really address due to limited server-side access. With this, debugging indexing issues should be easier as it is just about looking at the CI job output.
Also, the Planet website is perceived as messy and outdated. So this work allowed Jakub Steiner to quickly jump in and restyle the page from a clean state.
Try it live at felipeborges.pages.gitlab.gnom… and let me know what you think. Keep in mind this is a proof of concept. Tips, feedback, and contributions are welcome in the project repo.
This still doesn’t produce the global Planet rss feed, just the webpage, but that’s in my TODO list too.
P.S.: I know feed readers/parsers can over-request rss/atom feeds. So I plan to cache data and use metadata to avoid redundant downloads before this is even considered as a replacement for the current Planet implementation. No worries. 😉

Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the week from April 25 to May 02.thisweek.gnome.org
As part of our volunteer-driven accessibility initiative in GNOME Calendar, and for the first time in the 10+ years of Calendar's existence, we finally completed and merged the first step needed to have a working calendar app for people who rely on keyboard navigation. This merge request in particular makes the event widgets focusable with navigation keys (arrow left/up/right/down) and activatable with space/enter. This will be available in GNOME 49.
Most of GNOME Calendar's layout and widgets consist of custom widgets and complex calculations, both independently and according to other factors (window size, height and width of each cell, number of events, positioning, etc.), so these widgets need to be minimal to have as little overhead as possible. This means that these widgets also need to have the necessary accessibility features reimplemented or even rethought, including and starting with the event widgets.
We also hope to get other parts of GNOME Calendar accessible before GNOME 49, but I can't promise anything at the moment. We did start working with making the month view accessible: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…

This implements button functionality to make it able to focus and activate it. This also sets the appropriate accessibility role and labels/descriptions. Related:GitLab

If you join the GNOME GitLab instance and you want to create or fork a project, you'll see an error that says:
"Limit has been reached You cannot create projects in your personal namespace. Contact your GitLab administrator."
Turns out, you have to add an SSH key to make it work.

yes, you are correct. It is happening on gitlab.gnome.org but not on gitlab.com (I can create a project there) thank you for the clue, I will ask on the gnome forum. Much appreciated!GitLab Forum
#KDE is my #DE of choice because I feel it brings, for me anyways, a solid desktop experience. However, the story changes with a #touchscreen-enabled laptop. I feel that #GNOME is really good for touchscreens, and I must say how impressed I am with GNOME's touch support! It's very clean!
Great job GNOME (and surrounding) devs! The only thing I recommend is enabling the minimize button by default because I feel it can help with decluttering open windows. I honestly don't care about the maximize button, however, as I find myself hardly using it.

“On Elephants,” from fellow GNOME Foundation Director (and long-time, valued contributor) Allan Day
blogs.gnome.org/aday/2025/04/2…
As noted by Allan, the post is his personal view and not an official position of the GNOME Foundation board. That said, I personally feel like it includes important context and is well worth a read.
That's just a nonsense saying from people never using FOSS in the first place.
The #Gnome experience e.g. is far superior to anything Windows has to offer. This project is indeed at the forefront of modern UI design, if you ask me.

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.
I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.
I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.
By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂
I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.
Thanks all!

New in GNOME 48 is the necessary support for keyboard handling by the Orca screen reader in Wayland sessions. As I reported on the Orca mailing list recently, I have updated my system, and this support is so far working as intended. You need Mutter 48 and the latest AT-SPI installed.
Thanks are owed to the software developers responsible for this work.
