Hi, folks.

Some news in Vinagre since 0.5 version (GNOME 2.22):

• Basic support for scaling, based on OpenGL
• Side panel shows both bookmarked connections and avahi-discovered machines
• New command-line option to debug the connection: –gtk-vnc-debug
• View-only mode
• Send CTRL-ALT-DEL option
• Unique instance behaviour with a command-line option (–new-window) to open another window
• Don’t show tabs if there is only one connection active
• Support for host::port command-line syntax
• Connect dialog now remembers previous host/port address
• New toolbar in fullscreen mode. It appears when you move the mouse to the top of the window
• Panel applet, with quick access to bookmarks and avahi-discovered machines
• Better compatibility with more VNC servers

Latest Vinagre is 2.23.4 and can be found at GNOME FTP servers.

In other news, I’m ready to GUADEC (or almost ready, still have to draw my presentation).
I’m looking forward to meet all GNOME crowd.

Next Friday I’m going to São Paulo, just for the weekend, enjoy some cold days, thanks to GOL, an Brazilian airline which is offering tickets for about US$ 5.00 (JFYI, Maceió, where I live-São Paulo is distance of 2500Km)!!! Unbelievable!

Dear lazyweb,

Is there any icon for representing ‘read-only’ stuff, that indicates that the thing you are dealing with is read only?

In my case, I’m talking about VNC view-only connections. But the icon could be useful for text editors, for instance.

Today was the last day here in FISL. We had Leonardo Fontenelle, our main guy in translation team, giving a talk along with KDE guys, about the translation process.

I really loved FISL, I can’t wait for next edition!

Today was a great day here at FISL.

We had the GNOME talk, and so many people have demonstrated interest in contributing to GNOME. Even lucasr’ twin brother was there.

We have published Planet GNOME Brazil, which aggregates blogs from Brazilian contributors.

I have uploaded some photos to flickr (tagged with ‘fisl’ tag), check them out

FISL is really a big, great event, with more than 7000 attendees. Tomorrow is the last day, and I will blog more about it.

Note: It is amazing to see lots of people with GNOME shirts around

I’m here at Porto Alegre, Brazil, in FISL (Internacional Free Software Forum), the biggest free software event in Brazil.

We have organized a GNOME booth, and talked with many people about development for GNOME apps, translation of GNOME, and just talked about GNOME itself. It’s amazing to meet the people you know only from emails or chats.

Tomorrow we have a talk about our community, news on GNOME 2.22 and getting envolved.

I will post more photos tomorrow. PS: We have got amazing t-shirts!

OK, everybody does that:

history|awk '{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’|sort -rn|head
103 l
82 svn
72 cd
22 rm
20 vi
20 make
17 sudo
16 grep
15 g
10 ps


l == ‘ls -lh’
g == ‘gnome-open’

I just read an article about Linux Kernel Development, it is really a nice read. It gives us numbers about how the kernel has grown up, and the people/companies behind the scenes.

If you did not read it yet, do it now, it is a quick read.

I was wondering if we have some similar article related to the GNOME development. I would love to read it.

Dear lazyweb,

What is the easiest way to create a bookmarks structure with folders/subfolder feature?

Currently Vinagre’s bookmarks don’t support this, and is implemented through  an .ini-like file (GKeyFile).

Am I supposed to create and deal with a xml file by myself? Or is there any solution for this somewhere already implemented?

Thank you!
