The very first update in the series is about GNOME Shell and Mutter. I've been increasingly involved with the development of those two core components of GNOME, and recently this has been the focus of my development time. Fortunately, Endless allows me to use part of my work time to improve it. Naturally, I prioritize … Continue reading GNOME Shell and Mutter: better, faster, cleaner
It's been more than 6 months that I do not write in this space. Honestly, that's the longest period of silence I've ever had. There are various factors that, combined, ended up causing this period of seclusion. Learning about new, massive projects (GNOME Shell, Mutter and GNOME Settings) is one of them. Moving to a … Continue reading Sorry for the silence
Greetings GNOMEies This year, I had the pleasure to attend GUADEC at Almeria, Spain. Lots of things happened, and I believe some of them are important to be shared with the greater community. GUADEC This year's GUADEC happened in Almería, Spain. It turns out Almería is a lovely city! Small and safe, locals were friendly … Continue reading My Perspective on This Year’s GUADEC
Another year, another GUADEC, and here I am crossing oceans to see my fellow GNOMEies. This time, it's going to be particularly challenging: 32 hours of travel, 4 connections, no vegan meal available. I heard GNOME are resilient folk though, perhaps this is the proving? I am proudly being sponsored by the GNOME Foundation. See … Continue reading Going to GUADEC
New DX features on GNOME Settings
Another quick PSA: GNOME Calendar 3.28.2 was released yesterday. If you were having crashes and problems, please upgrade immediately. Quite a few crashers were fixed, and a few polishes went in too. Hopefully the experience of using Calendar will be much more pleasant now. This new version was available in Flathub just half an hour … Continue reading GNOME Calendar 3.28.2 released
Greetings GNOMErs, at this point, I think it's safe to assume that many of you already heard of a memory leak that was plaguing GNOME Shell. Well, as of yesterday, the two GitLab's MRs that help fixing that issue were merged, and will be available in the next GNOME version. The fixes are being considered … Continue reading The Infamous GNOME Shell Memory Leak
Greetings GNOMErs! Last week, when I upgraded to GNOME 3.28, I was sad to notice an extremely annoying bug in Mutter/GNOME Shell: every once in a while, a micro-stuttering happened. This was in additions to another bug that was disappointing me for quite a while: the tiling/maximize/unmaximize animations were not working on Wayland too. About … Continue reading Leak Hunting and Mutter Hacking
Greetings GNOMErs, It's been a long time I don't write here. These past months were excruciatingly busy and intense, and lots of things happened but I didn't manage to keep up with the blog posts. I'll try to condense everything that happened and is still happening and will happen here. Calendar & To Do I … Continue reading On GNOME 3.27.90, time management, and a goodbye
Greetings my GNOME friends! It's been a long time with no news. I guess work and masters are really getting in the way... good news is that I'll finish masters in 2 months, and will have some free time to devote to this beloved project. "Bad" news is that, after almost 6 years, I'll finally … Continue reading The Road to 3.28: Calendar and To Do
