Modernizing accessibility for desktop Linux
In some aspects, such as in gaming, the Linux desktop has made enormous strides in the past few years. In others, such as accessibility, things have stagnated.lwn.net
Endless OS 6 is bringing us into a new era. This major update focuses on three key pillars:

Getting Started with Endless OS 6
Endless OS 6 is available now as a free upgrade for existing users and a free download for new installations! Let’s take a look at what’s new and improved in the latest release of our completely free, user-friendly operating system packed with educat…Cassidy James Blaede (Endless OS)
For our fellow nerds (you’re reading about Linux on the Fediverse, we see you!), dive into the release notes for more details:

And of course, thank you to the free & open source projects & communities of Linux, Debian, and GNOME for many of the improvements we’re shipping in Endless OS 6. We strongly believe in open source, and would not be able to have the impact we do without standing on the shoulders of the projects we build upon. 🧡

Very happy and proud of this collaboration between @codethink @gnome and @sovtechfund
https://www.codethink.co.uk/articles/2024/GNOME-OS-systemd-sysupdate/
Our goal is to make GNOME OS a daily driver for QA and finalize the migration, but this work will be fundamental to the future of all secure image based / immutable Linux distributions.

www.codethink.co.ukDid you know there’s a simple way to try the most cutting-edge GNOME software?
GSoC didn't even officially started @vixalientoots already made Workbench able to compile and run TypeScript code 🤯 🎩

The screen reader does not tell what it can see on the screen, but rather communicates directly the interface of an app to the user, its structure and content.
I hope this new accessibility stack will be ready as soon as possible! It will be like an update from #GNOME 1 (or 2?) to current (right now 46) for sighted users.
Got very excited by @matt demo of AccessKit integration in #GTK
AccessKit is a cross-platform abstraction for accessibility infrastructure written in Rust.
His work will bring a11y support for GTK on macOS and Windows as well as for the new accessibility architecture on Linux code-named "Newton".

GNOME’s social hour event
Hello everyone! I am excited to to let you know that we will be reviving GNOME’s social hour event! The first one will be held on 25th March. The purpose of this social hour is to bring together the GNOME community.GNOME Discourse
I contributed to GNOME Shell! It's just a one-liner, but still, it's a contribution!
I added touchpad gestures so you can now change workspaces not just with a 3-finger swipe, but also a 4-finger swipe (or any amount of fingers larger than that, if you're feeling really adventurous).

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.

Disappointed to see pages given to in-person events and financial reporting in the latest GNOME Foundation report, but not a single mention of environmental reporting or the work multiple people have done to allow remote participation in GNOME events.
This stuff is important. We cannot keep doing business as usual and ignoring the emissions elephant in the room.
Why is it so hard in #Ubuntu and with #Gnome to show thumbnails of the screenshots I made, so I know which image to select without painstakingly opening them one by one from separate file window?
There's many images in my screenshot dir, all having thumbnails, except those created in the last 5 days. Why no thumbnails here? Why?
Opened up Apostrophe to edit a README and it launched in its sleek 3.0 version. Life is good.
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!

@thomholwerda BTW, found this new gem via the Phoronix forum: #KDE dev arguing with #GNOME folks about their arrogant icons handling which is breaking on other desktops:
GNOME: »Icon themes are not a very prominent feature in current app development […]«
LMAO
KDE: »If this breaks GNOME, it's because you folks chose to repurpose an FDO icon theme to be something it wasn't designed to be which breaks its non-GNOME consumers.«

One of my daily-driven laptops is getting a new #Linux system installed. I'm not sure whether I should stay in my familiar, cosy vanilla @gnome world – including my personal customisations, or whether I should finally seriously consider running the equally interesting #KDE for a longer term.
(No, other desktop environments are not really an option at this point)

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.

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
