Facebook withdrawal day one: I'm still alive, but the day is long (until 6 AM on Tuesday!) and the urge to access it is hard. I've been writing there too much weird stuff, which no one should see. This thing here isn't visited at all so it's safe for now ;)

Going to FOSDEM
So, I'm going to FOSDEM this year again and hopefully some of you will be there also. You can grab me either on the Friday Beer Event or Saturday Evening at La Bécasse. Of course I'll be hanging out at some of the talks, but hell, it's too many, I'll have to invent bilocation or even trilocation until Saturday, because I'm so undecided as what to take ;)

It's that time of the year again!
Another year, another Libre Graphics Meeting is coming! This time it's back in École Polytechnique in Montréal, Québec, Canada. It also means that I won't be able to come (Again! I miss you all, you know…), but if you're near or have some spare time please pay them a visit, I promise you'll never regret it.
In case that you, like me, can't come there's still a way in which you can be a part of it — just head over to Pledgie.com and donate a few Euro's, because every cent helps making a great conference happen!
See, I already envy those of you who will be there!

Wartość
Ile są warte słowa
Których nike nie chce słuchać
Pełne pustych fraz
O tym że tęsniksz kochasz tulicz?
Ile są warte dni
W których pędzisz przed siebie
Nie bacząc na nikogo
Nie dążąc do żadnego celu?
Ile jesteś wart Ty
Gdy jedynie Tu
Wiesz o swoim istnieniu?

Vacation
I'll be unavailable until 23.08.2010. Going to grab some vacation time with my family. And yes, I know I'm terribly behind with mu Emerillon schedule :(

Long road…
As you may have noticed, Emerillon 0.1.2 was recently released into the wild. The next release will come mid July as soon as some internal GNOME things are worked out — mainly the gsettings stuff, which right now seem to be a moving target. I hope to get something done by the weekend.
Right now I managed to get Ania to work on libgeouri so expect a release soon.
Interesting times ;)

Emerillon news
Sooooo, as some of you may noticed yesterday Emerillon switched it's maintainer and the new maintainer is me. Scared yet? No? You should be…
If the switch came as a surprise for you then you're not the only one - I'm a bit surprised too, but hey — life is full of surprises! I have some plans for it, but it's my first take at maintaining a project so please be gentle.
For starters in the next few days/weeks I plan to weed out the bugzilla wherever the are patches included and put out a 0.1.2 release out of the door, together with a 0.1 release of the plugins (or rather plugin). Thanks to the wonderful Andreas Henriksson the GSEAL migration seems complete and there shouldn't be any deprecated components, so we are almost ready for GNOME 3.0 ;) Currently the development takes place in GNOME git with a mirror on Gitorious under the upstream branch. This branch acts as a staging queue for me, so any merge requests which don't go to my email should go there.
After the 0.1.2 release the plan looks like that:
- migrate to GSettings
- migrate to libpeas if it ever comes out
- scratch my itch with a plugin for gpx tracks with a calories meter
- do some other features already in bugzilla
- other ideas welcome
So that's all for today, and as usual you can grab me on mail or identi.ca.

Libre Graphics Meeting 2010 in Brussels Announced
GLOBAL - August 22, 2009 - Cutting edge graphics software meets
free culture at Libre Graphics Meeting 2010 in Brussels
Users and developers of Free, Libre and Open Source graphics software
will meet in Brussels, Belgium on May 26-29, 2010 at the fifth annual
Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM). Held in a historical piano factory,
newly renovated into a lively exhibition and work space near Brussels'
city center, LGM 2010 offers software developers, artists, designers and
other graphics professionals the chance to collaborate and learn from each
other. LGM emphasizes the sharing of collective creativity, innovation
and ideas and is free for everyone to attend. The LGM community is
excited for the opportunity to bring this event to the European capital.
About the Libre Graphics Meeting
The Libre Graphics Meeting exists to unite and accelerate the efforts
behind Free, Libre and Open Source creative software. Since 2006, this
annual meeting is the premiere conference for developers, users and
supporters of projects such as GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Krita, Scribus,
Hugin, the Open Clipart Library, and the Open Font Library gather to
work on interoperability, shared standards, and new ideas. Work at prior
LGMs has pushed the state of the art in important areas such as color
management, cross-application sharing of assets, and common formats.
Face-to-face meetings and opportunities for collaboration are important to
users and developers alike; in the form of tutorials, talks, workshops,
and birds-of-a-feather (BOF) the event offers many formal and informal
opportunities to interact.
Highlights from LGM 2009
The last Libre Graphics Meeting took place in Montreal, Canada. It
involved 150+ participants from around the world working together for
four days to give presentations, demos, and meet informally. Through
support from the École Polytechnique Montréal, the LGM user community
(raising money on pledgie.com), Sourceforge, River Valley Technologies,
Intel Communities, Open Candy, QT, sK1, GIMP, Python Software Foundation,
Gnome foundation and Group Eyrolles, the conference funded travel
for many international developers whom otherwise would not be able
to work face to face. Highlights included contributions by companies
building on Open Source such as AscenderCorp and Open Source Publishing,
and presentations of Jeff Fortin’s PiTiVi Video Editor, FontMatrix,
Phatch and Michael Terry’s work on In-Gimp user-experience analysis
and kinetic templates. All major projects in attendance, Scribus, Gimp,
Inkscape, and Open Font Library, spent time planning activities for the
next year. New projects like the panorama stitcher NONA, Lighttwist, a
system for running multi-projector immersive video displays, and Markus
Weiland's FacetZoom widget, set the stage for new exciting software
developments leading into LGM 2010 in Brussels.
A Preview of LGM 2010
For Libre Graphics Meeting 2010, the conference promoters challenge
all participating projects and people to set goals and plan creative
projects. First, each major project is requested to have set three solid
priorities before the conference to work towards. Second, one or more
collaborative projects is to be developed, beyond just the tools used,
such as a book or animation. And third, the conference hopes to involve
an increasing number of artists and academics to show novel uses libre
graphics software, and to discuss, analyse and provide inspiration.
In the coming months, Libre Graphics Meeting 2010 organizers will
release more information about the upcoming conference, raising funds to
enable the event, and release the official call for participation for
2010. Immediately, the conference organizers invite all interested in
participating to watch the http://libregraphicsmeeting.org website and
join the Create Project (http://create.freedesktop.org) mailing list
and get involved.
LGM 2010 is hosted by the Libre Graphics Community and Constant in
collaboration with De Pianofabriek, Master Networked Media and Research
programme Communication in a Digital Age (Piet Zwart Institute, Willem
de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam) and the Bruxelles Linux User Group (BXLUG).

I'm out of reach
General service announcement
I'll be ot of reach for two weeks, so please don't bother to contact me (not that you would have the need to, anyway...). I'll be camping in Cortina d'Ampezzo so maybe I'll be able to update some tracks for OSM. We'll see, as I haven't been able to buy a decent tracklogger for that :(

lans +5
It's nice to se my translation getting into GNOME 2.26, hopefully you'll like it. I know the Scribus folks still wait for me to translate the docs, but I think with the recent changes in my life I'll be able to get back to it. You ask what are these changes (well, probably you didn't)? Well, for now I can't tell you much, heck, I can't tell you anything but in due time you will know. So here's my TODO list for the year 2009:
- Write my master thesis (of course there's still the question what for?)
- Do some more GNOME translations.
- Translate Scribus's docs
- Get married… OK, this one isn't actually on my list, but hey - you can still have dreams, can't you?

Planet - A Year Of Edits On OpenStreetMap
As you can see (thanks to the wonderful visualisation from Peter Ito) we've been pretty busy mapping last year, even in regions I wouldn't suspect there's someone out there ;)
Let 2009 end in more glowing colours!!!

Is it that time of the year again?
The book meme is still alive, so once again:
- Grab the nearest book.
- Open it to page 56.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
- Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
And the winner is "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4" second edition by Jasmin Blanchette and Mark Summerfield. Thank <deity> this wasn't "ANSI C" by Kernighan and Ritchie which is lying beneath the Qt book, but sadly Stanisław Lem's "Tales of Pirx the Pilot" where to far away, although also on top of another stack of books
Looks like Mark D. is right - we all are depressingly geeky...

End of an era
In a few weeks I'll be shutting down my home server (please don't start the discussion about the definition of a server again!). This means that my current XMPP account will cease to exist and it will be reinstalled at a new server (probably Google Apps); so please forgive me if you get some auth requests.
