Tarballs are due on 2012-05-14 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.4.2 stable release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule so everyone can test them. Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late to get in 3.4.2. If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the tarball for you!

All the interns made a contribution to the project they were applying to work on and almost all were connected to their mentors during the application process. We are thrilled to have these talented and dedicated contributors have a chance to spend the whole summer working on GNOME! Thanks to Google, Mozilla, Collabora, Red Hat, the Free Software Foundation, and the GNOME Foundation for making these internships possible! Thank you to all the mentors who helped the applicants along the way and will guide the participants this summer! Everyone, please help out mentors from your project by also helping the participants when possible. Because we are closing the 3.6 feature proposal period, it would be great if mentors consider proposing the planned work as a 3.6 feature. If your intern’s proposal is about a well-defined user-visible feature, the student is an experienced GNOME contributor, and/or you are dedicated to spend part of your time working on the feature, please propose it for 3.6. Below, is the list of all the interns’ projects. The ones without a link are OPW projects. The interns will blog about their work on Planet GNOME throughout the summer. Thanks to everyone and welcome to the interns!

Matthias </pre> Matthias Clasen 2012-03-29T10:05:59 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.hackers/4682 <pre> GNOME 3.4 Released ==================== Today, the GNOME Project celebrates the release of GNOME 3.4, the latest version of the popular, multi-platform free desktop and of its developer platform. This timely release marks the first birthday of GNOME 3. GNOME 3.4 is the second major update of GNOME 3. It builds on the foundations that we have laid with 3.0 and 3.2 and offers a greatly enhanced experience. The exciting new features and improvements in this release include a new virtual machine and remote access application, a completely revamped web browsing user experience, integrated document search, first-class web applications, better graphics tablet support, application menus, and many more. For more information about the major changes in GNOME 3.4, please visit our release notes: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.4/ GNOME 3.4 will be available shortly in many distributions. Live images of GNOME 3.4 are currently being prepared and will appear soon at: http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ This six months effort wouldn't have been possible without the whole GNOME community, made of contributors and friends from all around the world: developers, designers, documentors, usability and accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, sysadmins, companies, artists, users and testers. GNOME would not exist without all those people. Thanks very much to every one of them! Our next release, GNOME 3.6, is planned for September 2012. Until then, enjoy GNOME 3.4 ! The GNOME Release Team </pre> Matthias Clasen 2012-03-28T14:20:59 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.hackers/4681 <pre>GNOME developers! Now that you've packaged your tarballs for the soon-to-be-released shiny GNOME 3.4.0, the release team asks you to come up and discuss new platform-wide features to be added for GNOME 3.6! Please add your plans for the next six months here: https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointFive/Features Proposed features must have an assignee working on them. The proposal period is planned to end in about a month (Apr 23th). Feature proposals are about the core desktop, hence this does NOT affect features on a per-module basis. Still we highly encourage you to communicate your plans for your module early by adding them here: https://live.gnome.org/RoadMap Thanks a lot!, andre </pre> Andre Klapper 2012-03-27T19:21:34 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.hackers/4680 <pre>Hello all, It's the last step, it's the latest release candidate, it's 3.3.92!!

GNOME has been officially accepted by Google as a mentoring organization for GSoC 2012, which means some students will be paid by Google during the summer to help us improve GNOME :) The student applications will start coming in on March 26th and the deadline for applications is on April 6th (a bit less than 3 weeks from now). In the mean time, here are a few things you should do if you want to mentor some students during the summer: * add yourself as a potential mentor for GNOME on the GSoC website ( http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012 ) * add GSoC ideas for students to https://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2012/Ideas * build a list of simple bug/features the applying students can try to fix (we require students to contribute a bugfix or a small feature to the project they are applying for) * guide students who would like to work with you during the summer For this last part, I generally tell students that the first steps toward an application are to try to think about what they want to work on (the idea list can be helpful here), and that the first steps toward a successful application is to manage to build the project they want to hack on, and that they should start looking into fixing simple bugs. Then interacting with the student, and telling him/her to start thinking about what they will put in their application (especially the project schedule) is always a good thing :) If you have more questions about all of this, feel free to follow up on soc-mentors-list, or to ask on IRC. You can find us on #soc.

Meaning: Just one commit means not only the usual vim+git activity, but also requires a big bunch of approvals to get that fix in. Now you've been working on your favourite code for almost 6 months since 3.2. You'd probably like some appreciation for that. We like that too, but, please, check if we haven't forgotten your contributions and check the (still changing) 3.4 not-even-alpha quality release notes at: http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.4/ To get in: gnome / 3.4. To anyone not from GNOME: feel free to read, but it is all lies until the password protection has been removed. If you do notice your contribution is missing or there are outright lies, either write something down in the wiki at: https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree/ReleaseNotes or send an email to marketing-list&lt; at &gt;gnome.org. and now for the usual: We would like to inform you about the following: * GNOME 3.3.92 rc tarballs due * Hard Code Freeze Tarballs are due on 2012-03-19 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.3.92 rc release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule so everyone can test them. Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late to get in 3.3.92. If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the tarball for you! This is a late freeze to avoids sudden last-minute accidents which could risk the stability that should have been reached at this point. No source code changes are allowed without approval from the release team, but translation and documentation should continue. Simple build fixes are, of course, allowed without asking.

Tarballs are due on 2012-03-05 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.3.91 beta release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late to get in 3.3.91. If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the tarball for you! This is also your last chance to get a tarball out with new strings before the string freeze (but do not forget there are other freezes and new or changed strings should be announced). Once the string freeze sets in, no string changes may be made without confirmation from the i18n team and notification to release team, translation team, and documentation team. From this point, developers can concentrate on stability and bug-fixing. Translators can work without worrying that the original English strings will change, and documentation writers can take accurate screenshots. For the string freezes explained, and to see which kind of changes are not covered by freeze rules, check http://live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/HandlingStringFreezes.

Spammers setup an "Google Group", then send their spam via that group. Google groups sends each message with a different "smtp from" / return-path, so it is not easy to block this. As Google has done absolutely nothing to block such behaviour, I have to resort to completely banning &lt; at &gt;googlegroups.com. I've also banned a few spammers, but that is just usual maintenance. </pre> Olav Vitters 2012-03-01T09:03:44 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.hackers/4675 <pre>Hi, The Call for Presentations for GUADEC 2012 is now open: http://2012.guadec.org/cfp I've attached the full CfP below, but the two main things you should know are: - you can submit your proposal at https://www.gpul.org/indico/abstractSubmission.py?confId=0 - deadline for submitting is Saturday, April 14th Cheers, Vincent ====== GUADEC is the annual conference of the GNOME community, held in Europe since 2000. GNOME is the Free Software project that drives the user interfaces of many GNU/Linux-powered devices, ranging from smartphones to laptops, or personal media centers. This get-together event is the world's largest gathering of those involved with the free desktop or mobile user interfaces. GUADEC 2012 is expected to draw hundreds of attendees who will discuss and direct the future of the GNOME project. Developers, artists, translators, users, and representatives from government, education, and businesses, and anyone else who shares an interest are welcome. For the 2012 edition, GUADEC comes to A Coruña in Spain, a city that has already seen several successful GNOME-related hackfests in the past three years. The conference will be held from July 26th to 29th at the Faculty of Computer Science of the University of A Coruña, with additional extra days afterwards for hackfests and meetings. The release of the first GNOME 3 version last year has significantly refreshed the development of the project. Following this event, several hot topics are of particular interest for GUADEC 2012: - Design of the core user experience - Writing applications for GNOME 3 - Integration of web life into the desktop - Adapting GNOME to new types of devices - Improvements to and unification of desktop plumbing - Outreach to new contributors - Organization and governance of the project - GNOME’s 15th birthday Submissions that do not fit into these categories are also welcome, provided that they are of relevance, or inspiring to the GNOME community. The Call for Participation for GUADEC 2012 has the following timeline: - Saturday, April 14th: Deadline for submission of abstracts - Saturday, April 28th: Notification of speakers - July 26th to 29th: The conference takes place in A Coruña, Spain Please submit your proposal before April 14th through the online submission system [1]. Presentations will be reviewed by the program committee between April 15th and April 28th. A separate call for lightning talks will be issued in April. If you are interested in organizing a workshop session, a BoF or a project room during the second part of GUADEC (July 30th - August 1st), please wait for a later separate call for participation.

It's that time of the year again: Google's Summer of Code is approaching. We are in the midst of preparing it all [1] but we need your help by submitting great project ideas. Student proposals will start to roll in on March 26, but we'd like to make sure there are plenty of projects from them to choose from and have mentors ready to volunteer their time. Bonus point if you add ideas this week as it makes it easier for us to write the Summer of Code application for GNOME. So what should you do? Please visit [2] and enter your project ideas under the "Ideas" section. A committee will be formed up later to triage the ideas prior to the opening of the proposal period. If you would like to volunteer your time to mentor but don't have a project idea, surf over and claim one. Mentoring is an awesome way to get more involved with the community and introduce someone to it. If you would like to throw your hat in the ring for the triaging or selection committees and other GSoC related tasks, pop on over to #soc-admin, join the soc-mentors-list and let one of the administrators for the program know you want to be involved in making GNOME rock. This year's administrators team hasn't been formed yet, so if you want to be part of it, by all means, volunteer!

This release marks The Freeze. See 3.3 schedule to check what that means: https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree GNOME 3.3.90 beta ============ To compile GNOME 3.3.90 use jhbuild [1] and the moduleset files used at this release [2]: [1] http://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/3.2/jhbuild.html [2] http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/teams/releng/3.3.90/ You can see what is new on this release checking the NEWS file of those modules: core - http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/core/3.3/3.3.90/NEWS apps - http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/apps/3.3/3.3.90/NEWS You can get the code here: core - http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/core/3.3/3.3.90/sources/ apps - http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/apps/3.3/3.3.90/sources/ WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! -------------------------------------------- This release is a snapshot of early development code. Although it is a beta, buildable and usable, it is intended for testing and hacking purposes. GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status.

This unfortunately is taking a very long time. The slowness impacts the speed of Bugzilla as well as other sites relying on the database server. As piwik instance was not setup for a high traffic website, the current maintenance is needed, though unsure how long it will still last. Until that is over, please be patient with Bugzilla. </pre> Olav Vitters 2012-02-22T12:21:33 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.hackers/4671 <pre>Hello all, This is tarballs due time, but we're also hitting the big Freeze, meaning API/ABI, UI and Feature Addition Freeze, as well as String Change Announcement Period; new APIs must be fully documented, and people start to assemble and write the release notes; exciting times. Tarballs are due on 2012-02-20 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.3.90 beta release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule so everyone can test them. Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late to get in 3.3.90. If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the tarball for you! For more information about 3.3, the full schedule, the official module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 3.3 page: http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable For a quick overview of the GNOME schedule, please see: http://live.gnome.org/Schedule Thanks, Fred </pre> Frederic Peters 2012-02-19T00:52:55 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.gnome.hackers
