Arrived

The hard bits of moving and housing now done! All that remains is to catch a plane back to Raleigh, hop in the car, and drive the car up to our house. Well, modulo some details. Some new developers start at Red Hat this week, which we’re excited about. We’re giving some open source desktop […]

Moving

Packed my cube yesterday, only a couple hours of going through the pile of paper on my desk. I was amazed at the age of the paper on the bottom. GNOME nostalgia packed includes the squeaky rubber GNOME (see item 7), an original Ximian monkey, and the big GNOME foot used for conference booths back […]

linux.conf.au ends

Well, it isn’t quite over yet. Still going back for closing comments in a couple hours. Very nice conference overall.

A quick hack mutated out of control… Interesting discussion of activation continues on message-bus-list, see also the earlier posts and an older thread. Seth Nickell will be in Raleigh for orientation tomorrow. Due to amazingly fast relocation skills, he’s the first […]

Let’s see if my custom weblog hack can handle multiple years… Need help and volunteers for the D-BUS todo list, we need to get a lot of those things fixed before we can ship D-BUS in a release. There’s substantial work left, even though people seem to be using D-BUS left and right. Some high-level […]
