Subject: [SPAM] GNOME 2.9.1 Tarballs Due, November 1st
Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2004 21:32:17 +1000 (07:32 EDT)

Good morning hackers…

… and welcome to the GNOME 2.9 development series!

We’re back in the thick of hacking action, at the start of another release
process. What lies in store for 2.9? As usual, we’ll find out, all in good
time. :-) The first hints at what is to come will be revealed next week in
the first release in this series: 2.9.1. HOORAY!

For module maintainers, that means tarballs are due on Monday! For everyone
else, that means lots of building and testing on Wednesday. :-)

New module proposals are already underway on desktop-devel-list - we’re in
full swing! The 2.9 website has the full
release schedule already, and will list the new module proposals soon (or,
right after I send this email) on each suite page.

Rock. And. Roll. :-)

Thanks,

- Jeff

Osama bin Laden discussion about September 11th attacks in the news. I’ll be voting this morning. Usually I try to see both sides, unless I’m being a smart ass, but with this election I’m baffled. Can bush supporters not see that he’s retarded, a knuckle dragging frat boy that has had everything given to him. Including the job he now holds.

Please vote.

MONO on Debian unstable Print This Post

by macewan on October 28, 2004

Installed mono on Debian unstable last night. Immmediately installed blam, tomboy, muine, f-spot and Logomonodevelop. Just got a copy of the Mono - A developer’s notebook by Edd Dumbill & Niel M. Bornstein. The GTK# .pc issue seems to have been taken care of in the latest unstable.

Inspired by this O’Reilly Network article.

Firefox love Print This Post

Meanwhile, the Mozilla project kept tinkering with the code to make it lighter and nimbler. Get Firefox!(One of those tinkerers was Ross, whose bug-fixing skills led to the Netscape internship.) As AOL laid off engineers, volunteers picked up the slack, and from the ashes of Netscape arose a new browser, code-named Phoenix. Less than a year after Phoenix’s September 2002 debut, AOL got rid of the remaining Netscapers and gave $2 million to the Mozilla Foundation to keep the project alive. But Ross and a fellow Mozilla coder, David Hyatt, weren’t content just to tinker with Phoenix. They were determined to transform it into an IE killer. “It was high school by day and Mozilla at night,” Ross recalls.

In its first iterations, Phoenix caught on only with hard-core techies. But hundreds of coders across 24 time zones kept banging on it, making it smarter, faster, and prettier.
