Vincent (not me, but the other Vincent) improved a bit the performance of gnome-system-log lately. As he's not on the planet, I thought it would be nice to share his results with more people. He's measuring the launching time when opening a 2.9MB log.
| Release | 2.12.2 | 2.13.1 | cvs - Nov 5 | cvs - Nov 8 |
| Launching time | 43s | 5.7s | 2.9s | 2.1s |
Vincent: I'll buy you something to drink once you're back in France :-)

Jeff: I don't think I wrote that with fewer people on the board, "maybe we'll see the end of the popularity contest at the next elections"
;-) While I think the size reduction might help to stop the popularity contest, the most important thing to me is that we're having a real, sane, open debate about this. Why is it important?
It's the members who make the Foundation live, and it seems we're making progress here: I would really love to see so many mails on foundation-list each month. Having members caring about the Foundation is important, and I hope this also means the next elections will be more than a popularity contest.
For the note, I totally agree that the diversity of the community should be represented in the Foundation. I'd love to see the board represent this diversity, but unfortunately elections results might not allow this... We might need to think of other ways of doing it.
Daniel: it seems a lot of (french) people wonder how to vote blank for the referendum. It's possible: log in on the voting page and click next without selecting "yes" or "no". You're done.
But do not vote blank, vote yes :-)
So, the voting period of the Reducing Board Size Referendum finally started yesterday. This was more difficult than expected since some tools were not totally ready and we had a lot of membership applications, but we managed to do it. Just a bit late :-) I think the web interface for voting is a huge improvement over the previous email one. I just hope I didn't leave any bugs there. Well, we'll see in a few days, I suppose. Many thanks to the sysadmins for their really useful help, especially Ross and Toni.
I'm glad to see so much debate about the referendum on foundation-list. I hope members will stay involved in the Foundation like this after the referendum and the elections. With such a debate, it seems some people (including I) will expect a lot from the next board, especially delegating a lot of work.
I have voted for "YES". Glynn and Luis nicely explain why I think this is the right choice. And maybe we'll see the end of the popularity contest at the next elections.
In other news, GNOME 2.13.1 was released today. This is the first release of the new 2.13.x development cycle. Thanks to Dom and Caleb for being reactive and releasing lots of librsvg tarballs :-) There are already some nice proposed modules for inclusion in the Desktop, and with the work being done on performance, GNOME 2.14 is going to be the best Desktop out there.
And you know what? Everyone can help make GNOME 2.14 rock. There are a lot of ways to help and I'll post something about this later. Share the love!
Also, I kick Jeff ;-)
I'm writing this post with the Nokia 770 I received today. It's really great, and it even works in ad hoc mode.

I had some difficulties with the memory card, but I'm told this is just an IQ test (that I miserably failed ;-)). I also found a bug: when you first start the device, it asks you what language you want it to use. I selected French, but it forgot to change the keyboard layout (it was still a british one). I should report it to Maemo's bugzilla.
Thanks a lot, Nokia!!
