GNOME love day

	Hi GNOME lovers!

This is the announce of the first GNOME love day.

What is GNOME love day?
-----------------------

	GNOME love day is a project to try to get developers become GNOME
hackers. There are lot of developers around who want to get involved into
GNOME development but they don't know how to do it. The idea of GNOME love day
is to get these developers joining #gnome-love on irc.gnome.org as well as
some current GNOME hackers, all together.

	Hackers should propose these developers an easy-fix to any of the 
modules they know well, and should guide them on fixing it. Of course, 
for a hacker, looking for an easy-fix (maybe a bugzilla bug), figuring how 
to fix it and explaining another one how to do it will be a bit longer 
than just fixing it himself, but the point here is to teach. After some time
and luck, we will get these people fixing things and doing real GNOME hacking.

	Also hackers will become mentors/trainers of new developers, answering
them on IRC, email, and gnome-love list.

When?
-----
	First GNOME love day will take place Tuesday 2nd March, on #gnome-love
from 8:30AM EST to 8:30PMEST that's 13:30UTC->01:30UTC on irc.gnome.org IRC
network.

Screenshots required!

Hey hey hey,

So GNOME 2.6 is almost out the door,
We need not wait too much more.
And if it does anything but rock,
We will leave Jeff with only an odd sock.

And as we continue our journey, we need user screenshots for the
website. Not just boring shots of the apps - we can do those in the
release notes easily enough :) We want the most exciting things that you
can make your GNOME desktop do!

So please send us [1] your photos of your GNOME doing new 2.6-ey things,
doing wacky things, doing fun things, showing off new apps, showing off
old apps, showing off i18n or a11y features, or anything else along
those lines...

Thanks,

[1] "Us" means me. Please send shots to aes <at> gnome.org as PNGs. Lines
will be open until close to the release - probably 24-48 hours before
hand since we'll need to send them off to our slashdot-proof huge-image
host :)

Re: Screenshots required!

Re: Tentative Patch to Let Gnome-Blog Check Your Spelling

Hi,

sorry, my last post didn't show up in the list. 

Did you file a bug report for that problem? I'm actually not the
maintainer and just wanted to add the spell check feature. And - I'm not
using Blogger.com but Self-Run Moveabletype. But, if you just need to
alter the url of the protocol: look under 
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gnomeblog/blogger_prefs.py or wherever
your gnome-blog is installed. There you will find:

elif (blog_type == "blogger.com"):
            url = "http://plant.blogger.com/api/RPC2"
            url_ending = ""
            protocol = _("bloggerAPI")
            url_description = _("XML-RPC URL:")

Just change the URL. This is just a guess. As I said. I'm not really
familiar with Blogger.com.

Hope that I could help you.

Ronny

P.S: Nevertheless, please file the bug.

Thanks.  I did look in there and do some searching around the
blogger.com site.  The content of the URL they gave seemed to be the
same as the old (dead) one.

[SLE] config files on a connected laptop

I'm setting up a small home network consisting of a server | desktop,
firewall, and a couple of laptops I'm adding now.  The desktop and
laptop I am adding are both running SuSE 9.0.

The laptop is a Compaq unit with a 15" screen that the reviewers have
called a "desktop replacement."  When it is at home it is connected to a
19" LCD monitor, a standard keyboard and mouse, external speakers, and a
network connection with nfs, which makes it virtually indistinguishable
from a desktop.  I intend to use it as such while it is part of the
network, in a different room from the real desktop.

I want identical desktop behavior while it is connected.  I am importing
/home, /opt, and /etc/opt, and for the most part things are going well. 
While connected I mount the local (to the laptop) home directory at
~/presario-local.  I use several GNOME apps over FVWM2, configuring them
with gconf-editor and gnome-control-center.

I am having trouble with the GNOME apps.  Starting them elicits pages of
config error messages, making them mostly unusable.  Should I be
importing another directory?  Some of the messages said something about
a configuration server.

Incompatible: gnome2 & pybliographer

Hi all,
I installed gnome2 in my debian woody machine last month. It worked fine, except one thing: Pybliographer
does not work properly. It was the second time I tried installing gnome2 with the same result. 
Since I would not like to miss pybliographer, I downgraded then to gnome 1.4. 

Could someone help me please?

Regards,
Setyo

I don't know if this is related or not. On my laptop I use fvwm2 instead
of the gnome panel/metacity but still like to use gnome apps. I found
that I needed to add

gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-private&

to my startup script in order to get the apps to see the configuration
(particularly the fonts).

You could also try running gnome-control-center, and while it is open
try starting the apps by hand. 

If none of this helps, you could always try posting sample error
messages here.

Regards,

Chris

Re: Tentative Patch to Let Gnome-Blog Check Your Spelling

I've just registered at blogger.com to test your problem. But,
everything went just fine. I didn't get any error message and my post
showed up at http://eronny.blogspot.com.
