It's been a long time since I last wrong a blog post about GNOME Calendar only. That doesn't mean work has stalled! Since pretty much its inception, Calendar used copy-pasted code from Evolution to retrieve events from Evolution Data Server (EDS). It was a pair of classes called ECalDataModelSubscriber, and ECalDataModel. The first is an … Continue reading Timelines on Calendar

Even better screencast with GNOME on Wayland
With last week's release of PipeWire 3, and Mutter's subsequent adaptation to depend on it, I decided to revive something I have started to work on a few months ago. The results can be found in this merge request. PipeWire 0.3 brings one very interesting and important feature to the game: it can import DMA-Buf … Continue reading Even better screencast with GNOME on Wayland
Screencasting with OBS Studio on Wayland
For the past few months, I've been doing live coding sessions on YouTube showing how GNOME development goes. Usually it's a pair of sessions per week, one in Brazilian Portuguese so that my beloved community can enjoy GNOME in their native language; and one in English, to give other people at least a chance to … Continue reading Screencasting with OBS Studio on Wayland
Incremental present in GTK4
When working with graphical applications, there are multiple constraints and techniques applied in order to reduce the number of pixels that are being uploaded to the GPU, swapped on screen, or being manipulated. Even with highly optimized GPUs, the massive number of pixels we have to deal with (a 1080p monitor, for example, has 2 … Continue reading Incremental present in GTK4
App Grid in GNOME Shell
GNOME Shell is the cornerstone of the GNOME experience. It is the part of the system where the vast majority of user interactions takes place. Windows are managed by it. Launching and closing applications as well. Workspaces, running commands, seeing the status of your system — GNOME Shell covers pretty much everything. One interesting aspect … Continue reading App Grid in GNOME Shell

Profiling GNOME Shell
As of today, Mutter and GNOME Shell support Sysprof-based profiling. Christian wrote a fantastic piece exposing what happened to Sysprof during this cycle already, and how does it look like now, so I'll skip that. Instead, let me focus on what I contributed the most: integrating Mutter/GNOME Shell to Sysprof. Let's start with a video: … Continue reading Profiling GNOME Shell
Rewarding our Friends of GNOME
After my somewhat dark post about being a Free Software maintainer, a very significant number of people got in touch and asked how can they help me, and GNOME, more actively than saying "keep up the good work, we love y'all". And so I thought that maybe we are not advertising well enough the various … Continue reading Rewarding our Friends of GNOME
