What I did last week: - organized & attended the GSettings hackfest: + http://live.gnome.org/Hackfests/GSettings2010 + we made really good progress: good plan to help port applications (I wrote a gsettings backend using gconf + a script to convert gconf schemas to gsettings schemas), good plan to migrate the user data in gconf, we merged the gsettings code in glib (fixed bugs, added missing stuff), etc. + I ported a small application step-by-step in git so that it can be used as a tutorial for other developers: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-utils/log/?h=gsettings-tutorial - I was full-time on the hackfest, so didn't do anything else What I'll be doing in the next two weeks: - vacation!
