FOSDEM Desktops DevRoom 2017 CfP

2016-10-22 Thread Christophe Fergeau
Hello,

Here is the Call for Participation for the Desktops DevRoom 2017

-8<--

FOSDEM <https://fosdem.org/2017/> is one of the largest (5,000+ hackers!)
gatherings of Free Software contributors in the world and happens each
February in Brussels (Belgium, Europe). Once again, one of the tracks will
be the Desktops DevRoom (formerly known as “CrossDesktop DevRoom”), which
will host Desktop-related talks.

We are now inviting proposals for talks about Free/Libre/Open-source
Software on the topics of Desktop development, Desktop applications and
interoperability amongst Desktop Environments. This is a unique opportunity
to show novel ideas and developments to a wide technical audience.

Topics accepted include, but are not limited to:

   - Open Desktops: Gnome, KDE, Unity, Enlightenment, XFCE, Razor, MATE,
   Cinnamon, ReactOS, CDE etc
   - Closed desktops: Windows, Mac OS X, MorphOS, etc (when talking about a
   FLOSS topic)
   - Software development for the desktop
   - Development tools
   - Applications that enhance desktops
   - General desktop matters
   - Cross-platform software development
   - Web
   - Thin clients, desktop virtualiation, etc

Talks can be very specific, such as the advantages/disadvantages of
distributing a desktop application with snap vs flatpak, or as general as
using HTML5 technologies to develop native applications.

Topics that are of interest to the users and developers of all desktop
environments are especially welcome. The FOSDEM 2016 schedule
<https://archive.fosdem.org/2016/schedule/track/desktops/> might give you
some inspiration.


Submissions

   - Your name
   - The title of your talk (please be descriptive, as titles will be
   listed with around 400 from other projects)
   - Short abstract of one or two paragraphs
   - Short bio (with photo)
   - Requested time: from 15 to 45 minutes. Normal duration is 30 minutes.
   Longer duration requests must be properly justified. You may be assigned
   LESS time than you request.
   -

How to submit

All submissions are made in the Pentabarf event planning tool:
https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM17

To submit your talk, click on "Create Event", then make sure to select the
“Desktops” devroom as the “Track”. Otherwise your talk will not be even
considered for any devroom at all.

If you already have a Pentabarf account from a previous year, even if your
talk was not accepted, please reuse it. Create an account if, and only if,
you don’t have one from a previous year. If you have any issues with
Pentabarf, please contact desktops-devroom AT lists DOT fosdem DOT org.


Deadline

The deadline for submissions is December 5th 2016.

FOSDEM will be held on the weekend of 4 & 5 February 2017 and the Desktops
DevRoom will take place on Sunday, February 5th 2017.

We will contact every submitter with a “yes” or “no” before December 11th
2016.

Recording permission

The talks in the Desktops DevRoom will be audio and video recorded, and
possibly streamed live too.

In the "Submission notes" field, please indicate that you agree that your
presentation will be licensed under the CC-By-SA-4.0 or CC-By-4.0 license
and that you agree to have your presentation recorded. For example:

"If my presentation is accepted for FOSDEM, I hereby agree to license all
recordings, slides, and other associated materials under the Creative
Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0 International License. Sincerely,

Hey,

2013/10/21 Ryan Lortie de...@desrt.ca:

 We have brainstormed a list of platforms that we think that we want to
 support and it looks like so:  Linux, {Free,Net,Open}BSD,
 (Open?)Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Hurd, Darwin, mingw(32/64), MSVC.
[...]
 What would be nice is if we could gain access to some machines (from
 various projects) that we could use for testing GLib and/or if we could
 get a VM farm setup on GNOME infra that various projects would help us
 to setup (and maintain) their OSes on.


The GCC compile farm has some of these (and it's not gcc only):

 If CrossDesktop DevRoom is THE place for cross-desktop entente, then
 why have I seen no discussion about this event on any FreeDesktop mail

I only cc'ed GNOME lists because I'm acting as the GNOME representative.
Pau has sent emails to xdg-list

gobject-introspection-gtk3.  This is not what I had been doing before as
this needs a small change to the stable moduleset (so that autogen.sh is

 On 06/26/2012 05:31 PM, Bastien Nocera wrote:

 If we used enums, we would restrict the keysyms to the declared values.


 Well, C doesn't actually have such restriction.

Yes and no, if you assign an integer to a variable of an enum type,
and if this integer is not one of the value defined for this enum
type, then this is undefined behaviour in the C standard.


 It's impossible for an application to break when enum values are added. They
 end up as integers within the code anyway and unless their values change,
 API/ABI stays the same.

Again, the C standard has some gotcha there, a compiler is allowed to
use a char-sized integer or an int-sized integer to store an enum, so
sizeof of an enum type can change if you add more values to it, which
could be an ABI break. And this is not purely theoretical, I think
llvm does this.

Re: Crossdesktop at FOSDEM: call for papers

2010-12-13 Thread Christophe Fergeau
Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that the deadline is coming in less than 10 days (22nd
of December).
This year, GNOME won't have its own devroom for a day as the previous
years, but the crossdesktop devroom will run for two days. So if you
were planning to give a talk in the GNOME devroom, you'll have to
apply for one in the crossdesktop devroom instead.

Cheers,

Christophe

 devrooms this year. The cross-desktop devroom will have talks on all topics
 that are interesting to the users and developers of all desktop environments.
 FOSDEM will be held on the weekend of 5 and 6th February 2011, and the
 deadline for submissions for papers is Wednesday 22nd December 2010.

 We're looking for developers, users and contributors to submit talks for
 inclusion on the program. We are specifically looking for topics that are of

 That might inconvenience a few gdk-pixbuf users. But the one I know
 offhand, librsvg, already has a cairo dependency (via pango) anyway.
 So, probably not a big problem.

For what it's worth, libgpod has a gdk-pixbuf dependency and no cairo dep,
and people complain from time to time about that dependency (though that's
mainly on distros where gdk-pixbuf is in the same package as gtk+, which
will no longer be the case with gtk3). So I don't know how they will react
to an additional cairo dep ;)

On the other hand, a GdkPixbuf handling more formats than the current one
would be really useful since for now it's not possible to easily transfer
pixel data from a GdkPixbuf to a QImage (conversion is needed). Hopefully
with the additional pixel formats that are suggested here, this will become
easier.

Re: pixbuf-cairo_surface_t conversion

2010-09-03 Thread Christophe Fergeau
2010/9/3 Alberto Ruiz ar...@gnome.org:

 Well, since currently gdk-pixbuf comes inside Gtk+, and Gtk+ depends
 on cairo. In effect, you already depend on cairo.
 So in effect, you will have one dependency less, Gtk+. This should
 make your dependency-phobic users happy.

This really depends, my distribution (Mandriva) puts gdk-pixbuf in a
separate binary package. Thus cairo is needed to generate the
gdk-pixbuf package because it's built as part of gtk+, but for the
final user, there is already no such requirement as installing gtk+ to
get gdk-pixbuf.

Call for Talks - FOSDEM 2010 (GNOME devroom)

As for the last few years, we'll have a GNOME devroom next year at FOSDEM
(6/7
feb in Brussels), and as always, we want *YOU* to give a talk about
the cool project you are hacking on in this devroom

During this week-end, we'll have half a day dedicated to GNOME specific
talks,
and on Sunday, we'll share the devroom with people hacking on other
desktop environments and have talks about crossdesktop topics or talks
about some GNOME specific topics, but which can be of interest to the

Devroom talks are 30/35 minute long talks presenting one aspect of the
GNOME community you care about. This can be a technical talk about a
library you're hacking on, but you can also give a talk about how to
market GNOME at big events, or about how to get involved in the
translation project, ... In short, you can talk about whatever you
want as long as it's about GNOME!

Like last year, you'll find all the information about the even
on http://live.gnome.org/Brussels2010. However,if you want to
give a talk, please don't add yourself to the schedule. Send me an
email instead describing your talk and the slot(s) you'd like to have,
and add that information to the Presenters and their presentation on
the wiki.

If you aren't giving a talk but are coming, please let us now at

Wake Up World! Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss

2009-01-22 Thread Christophe Fergeau
If you want to know who the real establishment is in America and around the 
world, the real power behind the so-called ''military-industrial complex'', the 
real maleficent power that has led this world to inexorable conflict, war, 
hatreds, destruction of real human values, morality, conscience — it is the 
global media establishment.
 
This same media witnessed the Zionist slaughter of 1,300 people in Gaza, and 
the maiming of 6,000 more, half of them women and children. More than 20,000 
homes and buildings were destroyed or damaged and thousands became homeless. 
This horrendous mass slaughter of Palestinians is compared to the loss of 3 
Israeli civilians. Yet, the media never dare to call this slaughter exactly 
what it is: terrorism on a horrendous scale! This same American and global 
media has not informed the American people or the people of the world of the 
damning truth about Barack Obama.
 
In truth, Obama is a complete creation of extremist Jewish Zionists and he has 
already begun to serve Israel by his top appointments.
 
The Jewish-dominated media in America is promoting the Obama inauguration as 
akin to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. (If you question Jewish control of 
the media read Who Runs the Media? and you will find documentation proving the 
Jewish control being far greater than you might suspect) The rest of the 
world’s powerful media (Which also has a powerful Jewish presence in the UK, 
France, Spain, Sweden, Russia, and the rest of Europe) takes its cues from the 
NY/Hollywood media axis, and presents Obama as kind of a superhuman agent of 
real change.
 
In fact, it is a Huge Lie!
 
Obama is completely controlled by the same forces that have controlled George 
Bush, so much so that The Chicago Tribune quotes leading Jews bragging that 
Obama is so in the hands of the Zionists that he is ''the first Jewish 
President.'' Obama received about 80 percent of the Jewish vote in the United 
States!
 
The Three critical things that made Obama President:
 
1)Jewish political influence
 
Obama’s chief handler is David Axelrod, a radical Jewish Zionist whose previous 
claim to fame was the fact that he was the Zionist political hit man against 
Illinois Senator Charles Percy, who was not deemed to be pro-Israel enough. (He 
was only 99.9 percent Israel’s lackey, not the required 100 percent) Obama went 
to Israel and made sure he pronounced himself even more radically pro-Zionist 
than Bush or McCain.
 
2) Massive amounts of Jewish money
 
Obama’s campaign was kicked in high gear by Jewish Hollywood and financial 
moguls. In just one of the early fundraising parties in Hollywood by Spielberg, 
Geffen and Katzenburg it raised over a million dollars for Obama. Obama raised 
more money than any political candidate in American history and his biggest 
contributors were overwhelmingly Jewish activists, Jewish international finance 
and banking firms and Jewish globalists. His largest single contributor was the 
international Jewish Banking firm of Goldman Sachs. He received more money from 
the same international bankers that ripped off trillions of dollars in the 
recent economic scandals than even John McCain. Is a man totally under the 
power of the most powerful financial organizations in the entire world, really 
an agent of ''change?''
 
3) Overwhelming positive support in the Jewish-dominated media
 
By a large margin, Jewish-owned media officially endorsed Obama, and that is 
not counting tens of thousands of positive articles by Jewish; owned 
publications and pundits.
 
Obama’s first act as President-elect was to appoint a Jewish extremist, dual 
citizen, Rahm Emmanuel, as his chief of staff. As the people of Gaza were 
slaughtered, Obama would not make a single statement to stop this murder and 
maiming of thousands of innocents!
 
Israel, very carefully timed its terrorist attack on Gaza to be in the 
remaining days of the Bush Administration. The day before Obama’s inauguration 
Israel announced that it would be completely out of Gaza by the time Obama took 
his oath of office.
 
Why?
 
Before Obama took office, Israel could make this terrorist slaughter against 
Palestinians and Obama would still be perceived as having clean hands. Because 
Obama is completely under their control, they want him to have an image of 
fairness, honor and peacefulness, and as representing a new direction of 
American policy, as he begins to deal with the Mideast turmoil.
 
Since he is Israel’s boy in the White House, what better scenario could they 
have than a President perceived as practically the Second Coming, of high moral 
conviction, and dedicated to fairness,  but who is actually bound hand-and-foot 
to the Zionist agenda, just as the last president’s have been. Talk about a 
perfect shill. And the game is working, for even many Palestinians are filled 
with hope that the new President will work to end their long suffering.
 
With an almost godlike positive image around the world, a

Fosdem 2007 - Call for talks

2007-01-03 Thread Christophe Fergeau
Hi everyone, and happy new year ;)

This year again we'll have a GNOME devroom at FOSDEM, and we need *you*
to give a talk in that room to make it rock even more than the one we
had in 2006.

Devroom talks are 30/35 minute long talks presenting one aspect of the
GNOME community you care about. This can be a technical talk about a
library you're hacking on, but you can also give a talk about how to
market GNOME at big events, or about how to get involved in the
translation project, ... In short, you can talk about whatever you want
as long as it's about GNOME!

Like last year, you'll find all the information you want about our
devroom on http://live.gnome.org/Brussels2007 , and you can add yourself
to one of the slots if you are planninng to give a talk (alternatively,
you can also mail me if you want to give a talk). 

And if you are coming, please let us now!
http://live.gnome.org/Brussels2007#attendees

One difference with last year is that we might have half a day of shared
conferences with the KDE people about interoperability/common
technology/issues between both environments. I said might because I'm
not sure at all yet that we'll set that up, but I mention it so that
people aren't surprised if we have to modify the schedule on the wiki
because of that. And if you want to give a talk on that specific
subject, don't hesitate to add yourself *now*! :)

Hope to see you all in Brussels,

Christophe

Re: Re: Depending on C99 (Re: GtkBindingSignal changes)

2006-01-06 Thread Christophe Fergeau
 I would expect that to only be enabled if using gnu89, but indeed mixed
 declarations and code do compile with -ansi or -std=c89. The only way to cause
 this to generate warnings AFAIK is -pedantic:

You can also use:

  -Wdeclaration-after-statement (C only)
   Warn when a declaration is found after a statement in a block.
   This construct, known from C++, was introduced with ISO C99 and is
   by default allowed in GCC.  It is not supported by ISO C90 and was
   not supported by GCC versions before GCC 3.0.

FOSDEM Gnome Dev Room: Call for Talks

2005-12-01 Thread Christophe Fergeau
Hi,

During the week-end of February 25 and 26th, the FOSDEM 2006 will be
held in Brussels. FOSDEM is a 2 days event to promote the widespread use
of Free and Open Source software.

Gnome has a dedicated Developers Room, where we can give talks about the
project. That's why we are looking for volunteers for giving talks.
Talks can be about specific aspects of the project as a whole, or they
can be a way to present to fellow developers the latest cool technology
you are hacking on.

Some possible topics are the GNOME 2.14 release (it will be right around
the corner by that time), something about gnome-love, but feel free to
propose anything gnome-related that you want to talk about.

If you are interested about giving a talk, please send me an email
telling me what you want to give a talk about.

Thanks everyone :)

Christophe
