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

Who said lucasr didn’t come to FISL?

His name is Michel, and he is going to be our newest translator!

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!

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!

Acaba de sair do forno a versão 2.22 do GNOME!
Esta é uma versão especial para nós brasileiros, pois ela é dedicada a Raphael Higino, tradutor brasileiro, que nos deixou no ano passado, de forma tão precoce. A equipe de tradutores o homenageia com mais uma vez a interface 100% traduzida no nosso idioma.
Para mim, essa versão tem um gostinho mais especial ainda, pois marca a entrada do Vinagre no GNOME :).
Visite o site do GNOME Brasil, onde você pode ver as novidades desta versão, obter informações de download, suporte, ou até mesmo direções de como ajudar nesse maravilhoso projeto.

Hi.
I have just released Vinagre - VNC Client for GNOME - 0.5 today. This release is officially part of GNOME Desktop 2.22.
There were no major changes since 0.4; most work was bug fixing and polish.
What’s new in 0.5:
- Documentation, thanks to Vinicius Depizzol and Jaap A. Haitsma;
- Man page, thanks to Emilio Pozuelo Monfort;
- GNOME-VFS was replaced by the new GIO;
- Support for vnc:// URL’s: clicking will open Vinagre;
- Many bugs fixed;
- Interface translated into more than 40 languages.
Thanks to all people who have contributed with this release, specially the gtk-vnc gang
!

Embora IRC não seja o meio ideal para suporte, é comum ter usuários lá com a boa vontade de ajudar o próximo.
Mas só podemos fazer isso se soubermos qual é o problema/dúvida.
GG123, da próxima vez, pergunte!

Funciona, mas somente com alguns “workarounds” (aka “gato”, “miau”, “gambiarra”).
Algum fera no Java e Linux com tempo disponível para ajudar o Ubuntu a resolver o bug #86103?
Eu pago uma guaraná (ou coca, se for o Lício) !
