Bytes, Gnomes & Chozo

This year again I attended GUADEC, now for the sixth time in a row. It was a great GUADEC, as usual, thanks to the organizers and the attendees for making it as enjoyable as it was! Friday 🎮 I attended Christian's talk about designing multi-process apps, it sparked the interest of Alexander Mikhaylenko who rapidly started playing with these concepts, as we plan since a long time to run Libretro cores in a subprocess in GNOME Games . Lubosz presented his work on the VR Linux desktop. Even better, he demoed it, and the next day it was possible to test it in the corridor! So I did, and it was pretty amusing. I had the pleasure to meet Andrei Lisita and watch his lightning talk about adding advanced savestates support to GNOME Games. It is the first time an intern working on Games attends GUADEC, but sadly this time it's his mentor (Alexander Mikhaylenko) who couldn't attend. One day maybe, an intern and a mentor for GNOME Games will meet. 😛 Games is a newcomer fri...

Between August 10th to 17th included, I went to the nice city of Karlsruhe for GUADEC 2016. The Trip to Karlsruhe I arrived the 10th at 11 P.M. to Karlsruhe's train station after a 9 hours train trip, it was the first time I visited Germany and by night the city was calm and fresh which was nice after such a trip. Before going to the room I rented for the night I made a small detour to meet some gnomies as they were going out of their restaurant, it was nice to see some familiar faces again. :) The Training Workshops: Discovering GStreamer The 11th I participated to the GStreamer training workshop held by Olivier Crête, it was a really pleasant experience and I hope there will be more workshops during the next GUADECs! The Core Days This year again there were plenty of interesting talks, I won't give details as you can see them by yourself online ... That being said, I helped filming some of these talks which was an interesting experience and I am eager to help ...

I went to GUADEC 2015 which was help in Gothenburg between friday 08/07 and wednesday 08/12, here is what I did there. Deserved thanks First of all, I would like to sincerely thank the organizers of this GUADEC, they made an amazing job! =) I also would like to thanks the GNOME Foundation, the GNOME Travel Committee and the persons volunteering to work for this committee as I wouldn't have been able to attend the conference without their sponsorship. Volunteering I volunteered to help during this GUADEC and it was a great experience. I only had few work to do as there was a ton of volunteers, all I did is to help cleaning the rooms and to be in charge of presenting the speaker, filming its talk and give him a gift for two talks on sunday. Being able to see the Beamer theme I wrote used was quite pleasing too. =) The core days On Friday Alexander Larsson's talk on xdg-app got me really excited about this big shift the Linux desktop is taking, Emmanu...

I'm glad to announce that I'm going to the 2015 edition of GUADEC! I'm delighted to be able to attend GUADEC for the second time, as my first experience in Strasbourg was extremely enriching. I hope I'll see lots of known and new faces. =) As an intern, I'll give a lightning talk about what I've done so far for GNOME Boxes. I would like to warmly thanks thanks the GNOME foundation for sponsoring by travel, especially the donors and the GUADEC team and the travel committee. It will be the first time I go to Sweden, I'm sure the trip will be fun. Vi ses i Göteborg!

Lasse and I spent some time recently to produce a Beamer template for GUADEC 2015. You can find it here: github.com/sils1297/guadec-presentation-templates . You can use it with Pandoc or directly with LaTeX. Example are shipped too: 2015/presentation.md is a Pandoc example, build it with make pandoc to produce 2015/presentation.pdf ; 2015/guadec-example.tex is a LaTeX example, build it with make tex to produce 2015/guadec-example.pdf . I hope you'll enjoy it, feedback is welcome and if you have any problem don't hesitate to contact me (Kekun) or Lasse (sils) GIMPNet #guadec on GIMPNet .
