Re: Fractional Scaling on Wayland
Hi Matt, Matt Shindala wrote: ... My laptop has a 1080p 13.3" screen. On Windows, 1.5x scaling is automatically applied. I tried GNOME on Wayland with Fedora 25 and I couldn't get it to scale 1.5x - it could do 1x and 2x but not 1.5x. Does GNOME support this? I found a thread from 2014 that seemed to indicate that some work was being done on it in Wayland but I wasn't able to find any other information about it. The only thing we currently support is font scaling, which can be accessed from the Tweak Tool. My understanding is that fractional UI scaling is something that is going to be worked on for the next release. This is something that Christian Schaller blogged about recently: https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2017/04/03/hackernews-feedback-on-what-they-want-from-their-desktop-we-got-it/ Thanks, Allan ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
Re: Ubuntu 18.04 To Ship with GNOME Desktop

GNOME marches on, and we have a mission to continue. :-) I'd echo this sentiment. In some respects it might not be a big change: Ubuntu already ships a lot of GNOME software, and Ubuntu developers already participate as members of the GNOME project. Furthermore, we don't know what the practical implications of the announcement are, or exactly what Ubuntu will be shipping in the future. It's welcome news and we should do our best to be accommodating, but let's not get carried away.

Re: Looking at Jenkins for CD/CI of GNOME
Hi Walter! Walter Vargas wrote: ... I have been talking with @ebassi at irc about the idea of work on a proof of concept that replaced the existing Continuous pipeline with Jenkins. ... I am looking forward to know your thoughts and collaborate on this, I have been working daily with Jenkins for CI/CD of aws infrastructure and applications from the last two/three years. I'm not a developer, but I have used the continuous ostree images in the past. I can certainly say that anything to make our CI setup more reliable and easy to maintain would be a big plus, and it would be fantastic to have your help. The sysadmins have said that they'd be happy to create a VM that Jenkins can be installed to. I'd recommend joining #sysadmin to talk over the details with them.

Maintainer needed for Bijiben
Hi all, The Notes app (also known as Bijiben) needs some new blood. It has been slipping recently and is probably going to end up being dropped altogether. This would be a real shame because a lot of work has gone into it and it has loads of potential. On the design side we have lots of plans for the app and there are many cool possibilities for things we could do with it. Also, every operating system needs a good built-in notes app; it would be sad if GNOME doesn't have one! Bijiben's bugzilla is in a good state and Pierre-Yves, the current maintainer, is happy to help a new recruit get up to speed. It's mostly written in C. The most pressing issue is either to upgrade to WebKit2 or drop WebKit in favour of GTK+. Any takers?! :) Allan ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
