GNOME Project Day at FOSS.in – preliminary list of speakers
Posted by Sayamindu 2 years, 4 months ago
The organisers of FOSS.IN have released the preliminary list of speakers in the event and we seem to have a really interesting set of talks for the GNOME Project Day. From the FOSS.IN website,
- Andrew Cowie – The challenges and opportunities of properly writing multi-threaded GTK based GNOME programs
- Lennart Poettering – ZeroConf Networking with Avahi
- Mairin Duffy – Beginners guide to UI design
- Naba Kumar – Integrated communication framework for GNOME – elements of telepathy
- Ritesh Khadgaray – hunting bugs
- Runa Bhattacharjee – Gnome Translation Project-Your language on the Desktopv
- Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay – Bring your own hammer – I have the nails !
- Shreyas Srinivasan – Clutter: Fun with opengl interfaces
I would have loved to attend FOSS.in (especially the Project Day), but unfortunately my seventh semester exams begin on the 3rd of December. Maybe from next year…
In other news, I have started to do contract work for the OLPC, and right now I’m helping out with the establishment of a smooth work flow for the localisation of various activities and software targetted for the XO. I’m pretty excited about this, especially since intially after getting a negative response from our HRD Ministry, it looks like the XO will be used by Indian children after all, through some other channels. That adds a new dimension to my work altogether
