Boston Awesome

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

I’m at the Boston GNOME summit right now. Yesterday a lot of work got done on gobject-introspection and AT-SPI D-Bus, which is completely awesome. I had a great discussion with Dan Williams about where we should go with gnome-phone-manager, NM’s new ModemManager and OpenMoko’s gpsd. My interest here is having a consistent place for getting GSM/CDMA cell location information.

A lot of very interesting ideas have been flying around about new user experience ideas. It seems a lot of people have been thinking similar things but didn’t really know that others were also working/thinking on the same ideas. We’ve just started the future user experience hackfest, I hope out of this we can forge some common future direction and common projects. I’ll report more after the hackfest!

GUADEC time again

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

Right, its that wonderful time of year again – I’m all packed and ready to head to the airport. Painfully my plane lands at 02:10 tomorrow, so if anyone else is landing at the same time, feel free to seek me out – I’ll be coming off the flight from Frankfurt.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again and to giving my talk. Believe it or not, it’ll be the first talk I’ve ever given at GUADEC! I’m also going to try to rope in John and Mark to do some bits of it – tag team styleee. I just hope we can get the demo running in time..

See you all there!
