Eep. While I know the blocker bug list has had a lot of things fixed, overall, it has grown from 22 to 26. This is not good… get cracking, folks :) On the plus side, the entire bugzilla (aka, lots of projects not in gnome, but still affiliated) have fixed 5750 bugs since the release [...]
I’m currently burning the liveCD for LWE; I take it to the manufacturer’s in the morning. It has been a pretty draining few days- I’ve written a bit of content, done quite a bit of polish, learned more about gimp than I ever thought I would (still very little), and fought cases of the mornings [...]
I got one really quite brilliant set of images today in response to my 24 hour artist’s challenge, so the competition is stiff, but there is still time left :)
ISOs for anyone who wants to play and give quick feedback are uploaded. DON’T LEFT-CLICK THAT LINK. Do a right-click save as; apparently mime-types are slightly [...]
As we speak, I’m uploading the art-by-luis-gag-us-with-a-spoon lwe-livecd-0.9.9.iso and the corresponding lwe-livecd-0.9.9.iso.md5. If the md5 isn’t there, that means the iso upload hasn’t finished yet- scp is guessing it’ll finish about 7am EST.
Past normal gnoppix, and the artwork, I’ve included lots of media from the marketing pages (though not enough yet), I’ve changed some [...]
So, because I’m jealous of tigert and garrett and jimmac and other sexy art bloggers, I will tonight for the first time post my own sexy GNOME artwork, destined for a special LWE live CD. The catch is that it all is… not very good, and I’d like GNOME community artists to propose better :) [...]
BTW, if anyone with gimp/inkscape/general art skills could turn this:
into an svg or simple line drawing for me in the very near future, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks! [Don't need to convert the text, though if someone wants to figure out an appropriate font, that would rock too.]
Update: The rocking Steven Garrity has traced this [...]
Someone pointed out to me that it would be a good idea, for testing purposes, to have a liveCD for every beta release. This is such a great idea that it has already been done :) Run, don’t walk, to gnoppix for a 2.9.90 build on a liveCD.
Hacked around on the LiveCD a bit more today. Got a pretty decent layout with a splash screen from jimmac, this background, and some of the media I’ve talked about on it. Not great yet, and I think we’ll have to wait until 2.12 to have a really tight-feeling product, but still will be pretty [...]
Yummy weekend so far. I took no pictures, so I can’t equal Federico’s blog, but… :) Friday afternoon I cracked open my copy of the Foster’s Market Cookbook- Foster’s Market being a yummy little… dunno, southern deli? in Durham. Anyway, the owner has some really, really yummy recipes, so I bought the book years ago, [...]
Blah. Looks like gnome-blog-poster ate my last post. Oh, well. :/ Most important thing is that I’d still love a picture from an african event showing GNOME, if such a thing exists. Thanks to all the people who responded to my original call- I think there are seven great pictures here which capture the breadth, [...]
