I was wondering why GNOME's i10n platform is called "Damned Lies"?

I searched and I only found a link to "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" article on Wikipedia. After understanding the context a bit, I wasn't sure about the link between this and the localisation web app, so I asked in the @gnome I18n room on Matrix, and Alexandre generously explained it. Since there was no online explanation, I wrote a post about it on my blog. Hope it helps.

#GNOME #I10n


i am very skeptical about the "session save/restore" idea that #gnome is planning on implementing, i remember something like that being part of windows 95 and it served more as a distraction than anything useful, only making the PC take longer to start-up by reopening all the programs that were active at the moment of shutdown

Thank you #GNOME team :ms_paw_print:

"We can’t afford to stay silent in times when history is literally being erased, and fundamental human rights are being revoked. Silence is complicity. We will not falter at this attempt to divide queer communities. We also encourage everyone to be as outspoken as they can be.

Never forget: We are stronger together.

In light of these circumstances it is especially encouraging to see the community of queer contributors growing steadily. We are here and we are not going anywhere - the GNOME community is and will always stand with queer people. We’ve got your back."

As we are making good progress on #accessibility for GNOME Calendar lately (big thanks to @TheEvilSkeleton there) I have now rewritten and updated the description of this meta ticket to reflect the current status: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c


15 of 28 checklist items completed as of May 22nd, 2025, based on what issues I've been able to find so far.

If you contribute in some way to GNOME, are you already a GNOME Foundation member? If not, you should apply ASAP: foundation.gnome.org/membershi


Once you do (or if you’re already a member), don’t forget to VOTE in the upcoming Foundation elections!

The GNOME Foundation Board of Directors is elected by Foundation members. If you want to influence how the Foundation is run, one of the most effective things you can do is to become a member and vote.

Interesting bug. Suddenly my capslock key has started to be inverted... (ie light on = caps off) except in the lock screen...

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.

Hello #gnome people, are #gui tests still done through the #accessibility #api? I found discourse.gnome.org/t/how-do-y
 but havent yet a chance to use #openQA or #dogtail. Im asking mostly because Im planning on making some small application, and I would like to add at the end of the CI pipeline some #end2end #test to make sure there are no regressions when attempting on some #datadriven #dynamic layout generation. Or in GNOME case e2e tests are generally not done for specific applications, and they are mostly for the shell, and applications are tested (mostly) by hand? (not trying to belittle #QA people, just I feel the common use cases should be automated to lessen the burden on them)


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!


feborg.es/new-planet-gnome/


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. 😉

#GNOME #KDE


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
