Are you interested in hosting #GUADEC2025 in your city? Make sure to let us know by submitting your intent to bid by May 3! https://foundation.gnome.org/2024/04/18/call-for-guadec-2025-location-proposals/
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 ( https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/-/issues/288 ), 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.
Symbolic icons only have the `-symbolic` suffix, breaking compatibility with FDO-compatible apps (#288) · Issues · GNOME / adwaita-icon-theme · GitLab
[Here I use the copy icon as an example, but the issue affects everything] The Adwaita icon theme has an icon-named edit-copy-symbolic for its copy...GitLab
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

#postmarketos #linuxmobile #gnome I have been daily driving PMOS edge with Gnome mobile on my OnePlus 6 for a week now. So far quite pleased with the performance, despite a few glitches, so I decided to donate some money to both of the providers making this possible - PMOS and Gnome. Thank you for making this possible. Looking forward to further development.
p.s. Managed to get the flashlight working today, another bonus! d.s.

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.
I've made a little demo app for the new AdwButtonRow widget 🐈⬛

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) 🔔✨

WTF? Is #Tenacity on the #Flatpak store #MALWARE? Apparently it was running in the bg AS IF it was an invincible #Gnome extension so SystemMonitor/htop would NOT see it as a process. But #MissionCenter (also from flatpak store) saw it as it is: an app running on startup! Killing it killed Gnome session! It was also spiking wifi, and was leaking the Gnome gjs service from 4MB RAM to 120MB. Uninstalling fixed the prob
Third party flatpak/snaps should be vetted.

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
https://gitlab.gnome.org/jwestman/blueprint-compiler/-/issues
We aim for supporting all GTK builder syntax and 100% XML↔Blueprint porting compatibility.

@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: https://docs.flathub.org/banner-preview
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 :)
