Hello, folks.
It has been a long time since last post, blame microblogging services 
. This is a post just to [randomically] say what I’m doing in my [dis]connected life.
Since November I started developing a product as a freelancer. It is finished, as we can call it 1.0. It was built on top of GNOME technologies and will run on GNOME machines, but unfortunately it’s not a free software. Yet. The plan is to release it as a free product when “it’s the right time”®.
Because of this project, I paused some development I was doing in Vinagre. I was working on SSH tunneling, aka VNC over SSH. I will restart the work before the end of the week, but I’m not sure if it will get into GNOME 2.30 because “Feature Freeze” and “UI freeze” are too close.
I have lots of things to do in both Vino and Vinagre, but unfortunately I don’t have all free time I wish. In a ideal world, I wish I got paid to work on GNOME. Yes, I know there’s no “ideal world”
So, please, wait patiently another cycle for big features, like RDP support in Vinagre. I hope you understand.
As last year I haven’t contributed to the Ubuntu project as I liked, I did not renew my Ubuntu membership. So, I’m not an Ubuntu member anymore, and my email address @ubuntu.com is not valid. Once I have done more contributions, I’ll reapply.
In other news, I just back from vacation, this time I did not travel or something, because my wife was operated, so, I spent all time taking care of her at home, with family. And I enjoyed it a lot!
Since last year we moved to our own home (an apartment), I own a motorcycle (best way to head to office), I use glasses and dental braces.
A goal for this year is to write a GNOME game (probably using Vala or Python). I won’t tell you what game it is to not break the surprise
See you!

Thanks Jonh for your work on Vinagre and Ubuntu overall. We all need money to live and it is very nice to hear that your knowledge and expertise have secured you job with technologies you like.
Guys who want to use RDP still have lot of other excelent tools. Yes, it would be nice to have RDP by default in Vinagre, but it will come. Thanks for color depth feature, that alone is worth 2.30 release.
Cheers,
Peter.
Poxa, o tunelamento ssh nativo no vinagre vai ser muito legal! Não vejo a hora de ver.
Abração
Thanks for the update, Jonh, and best wishes!
Will you tell us if the game will use Telepathy tubes?
We love Vino+Vinagre! Thanks for all your hard work.
Thanks for your contribution to GNOME and the open source community. Your hard work is always appreciated.
Volte logo para o Ubuntu.
Melhoras a sua esposa.
Abração!!
Thanks for your work Jonh! Hopefully we’ll hear soon from you about this new product you developed, good luck with that!
Congrats on becoming a freelancer. Join the club!
Bom te “ler” de novo, cara! Boa sorte com os novos projetos!
Abração!
