What I did last week: + holiday on Monday + attended Linux Plumbers Conference: - listened to various sessions, and learnt more about plymouth, systemd, current status of X and wayland, etc. Definitely most useful to know where we are going. - chaired the desktop track, where we had some good discussion on EGL, multi-card in X, systemd in the user session and more. - was interesting to see that many people do think the packaging work in distros is wasted & duplicated work at the moment. There's an opportunity that aligns well with the all market place idea. - saw Linus swim in the Boston aquarium. There were supposed to be sharks in the aquarium, but unfortunately, they were away ;-) + attended GNOME Boston Summit: - good discussion on GNOME 3, current status of GNOME Shell, and what we need to do in the next few months - found out that one big issue that people had with the moduleset reorganization is because of a misunderstanding on terminology. This will help a lot. - gave some thoughts on what to do wrt GTK+ 4 and the GNOME platform for GNOME 3 (GNOME 3 will be out with GTK+ 3 and our platform is supposed to stay stable, so GTK+ 4, if coming soon as planned, is challenging) - worked on marketing plans, and on some Friends of GNOME plans - we had a demo of litl OS - got some agreement on the idea of releasing images of various distros for GNOME 3.0 + got badly sick on the second day of Plumbers and that made Plumbers and the Boston Summit much less productive for me :/

What I will do this week: + last day of Boston Summit (today) + travel back to France + catch up with everything + holiday/vacation at the end of the week

Cheers,

Vincent
