Olav is right. Let's secretly organise this.

Talking about GUADEC, I just submitted some sessions. The one I care most about is Opening GNOME to new contributors: it's something we should really work on and I hope we'll be able to make it easier for people to join. And I really missed some bugsquashing last year, so what about a GUADEC bug day?

Don't forget to submit a session before the deadline (March 31st)!

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about setting GNOME goals. The feedback I got was mostly positive and I'm sure that if I forget about this idea, some people will blame me ;-)

So what about starting now? What about moving away from popt and using GOption? You can easily help with this goal by simply verifying if some modules are still using popt. And you can even make a patch since it's very easy to do the migration. More information on the goal and how you can help is on the PoptGOption page.

I know this is a small step. But this is really what the GNOME Goals are about: doing small changes, but trying to do them everywhere.

Let's quickly rock on this goal, because there'll be a new goal in two weeks :-)

Daniel found this most wonderful comment about the hug day. I really love the hug day concept. It really matches the spirit of Ubuntu.

And guess what? It is back: today is the hug day!

GNOME 2.14.0 is out, and there are a lot of reasons to be proud of it. Thanks everyone!

I'd like to send special thanks to some people for the work they did. I'm a bit sad to come with such a tiny list, so make sure to complete it!

• Joachim (I'm still waiting for your blog!) for rocking at updating the documentation. And I've heard he won't stop here... Woohoo!
• Federico and Behdad for the work they did on performance. The difference is more than noticable: it's huge!
• Elijah has survived a snowstorm to release 2.14.0. But I have to say this is only one of his many exploits. Don't we love our fantastic release manager?
• Kjartan. Glynn was right about Kjartan: just look at the results of his 2.14.0 smoketesting. We need more Kjartans!

Now, I can't wait for 2.16. I can already feel the good work we'll all be doing in the next six months.

Le site web de l'ENSIMAG a (encore) changé. Il s'agit maintenant d'un site utilisant le même design que celui de l'INPG, et probablement les mêmes ressources puisqu'il s'agit du même serveur web pour les deux sites.

C'est tout de même un progrès par rapport à la version précédente. Nos chers amis du département Télécom d'INP Grenoble Télécom ont quant à eux toujours leur magnifique photo. Plus pour très longtemps, je pense...
