[pygtk] ANNOUNCE: PyGObject 2.14.1

I am pleased to announce version 2.14.1 of the Python bindings for GObject.

The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org as and its mirrors
as soon as its synced correctly:

   http://download.gnome.org/sources/pygobject/2.14/

What's new since PyGObject 2.14.0:
    - Avoid unnecessary wakeups once per second
      when using Python trunk (Johan Dahlin, #481569)
    - Add an uninstalled.pc (Damien Carbery, #486876)

Blurb:

GObject is a object system library used by GTK+ and GStreamer.

PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for the GObject+ library for use
in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as
managing memory and type casting.  When combined with PyGTK, PyORBit and
gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured Gnome applications.

Like the GObject library itself PyGObject is licensed under the
GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary
applications.  It is already in use in many applications ranging
from small single purpose scripts up to large full
featured applications.

PyGObject requires GObject >= 2.8.0 and Python >= 2.3.5 to build.

Fosdem 2008 - Call for talks

Hi everyone, and happy new year  ;)

As for the last few years, we'll have a GNOME devroom at FOSDEM (23/24
feb in Brussels), and as always, we're looking for people who want to
give talks in that devroom.

This year, the half day dedicated to cross desktop talks has been
extended to cover the whole Sunday, though talks that are appropriate
for that day go from talks about actual cross desktop topics to talks
which are gnome/kde specific but can be of interested to the other
communities.

Devroom talks are 30/35 minute long talks presenting one aspect of the
GNOME community you care about. This can be a technical talk about a
library you're hacking on, but you can also give a talk about how to
market GNOME at big events, or about how to get involved in the
translation project, ... In short, you can talk about whatever you
want as long as it's about GNOME!

Like last year, you'll find all the information you want about our
devroom on http://live.gnome.org/Brussels2008. However,if you want to
give a talk, please don't add yourself to the schedule. Send me an
email instead describing your talk and the slot(s) you'd like to have,
and add that information to the "Presenters and their presentation" on
the wiki.

If you aren't giving a talk but are coming, please let us now at
http://live.gnome.org/Brussels2007#attendees ! This is helpful in case
we print shirts or name tags.
