Up North

Somewhat back to normal routines after a week in beautiful Istanbul. As people reading Planet GNOME have seen from others, it was a great Guadec this year.

I found the schedule to be a bit uninspiring but that left more time for discussions and hacking. Among the sessions I went to I really enjoyed going to Alp’s session about Webkit and Blizzards on Mozilla. Some really interesting things coming from these projects.

Kris did a great job wrapping up the current state in GTK+ during his now traditional ‘GTK+ State of the Union’ talk and happy to see that the discussion around future GTK+ is getting started throughout the community. I spent a lot of time this year talking and listening to peoples feedback on the proposed plans. Realized that some things have been a bit left out from the discussions after the hackfest and that we need to do a better job at communicating what we plan to work on besides the cleanups and enabling of future development.

Finally a warm welcome to Stormy as executive director of the GNOME Foundation Board.

Posting this just before going to bed for an early rise to fly to Guadec in Istanbul. Unless someone gets sick last minute the entire Imendio crew will be arriving tomorrow and staying at the Golden Horn Sultanahmet.

See you all there!

New leads in uncovering the Prague Incident
New facts uncovered in the ongoing investigation of the Prague Incident. The case is still hot and the Czech keeps the lid on. Only Bastien (and possibly Bryan) knows what really happened that autumn day, little more than a year ago. After performing dream therapy on Bryan the police gathers new information linking him to the incident by the similarities of what happened and Bryan’s frequently reoccurring sex dreams.

The questions everyone is asking themselves now, “Was he there?”, “Was he even involved?”, “Will he testify against his old friend Bastien in such a delicate case?”, “Why does he dream of hookers and midgets?”.
