We’re making nice progress in GeoClue in GnomeSummit. Lots of people got interested in the idea, and a lot of lively brainstorming and excitement: “So I want to make GWeather show your current weather automatically, based on your location!” etc.. Awesome!
Happy Hackers brainstorming GeoClue
One of our projects is to have our hacker community more location […]
Does anyone know if there is a way to add geotags into blog posts via any of the weblog API’s?
Another thing that we need to figure out is how to add those tags into blog RSS feeds. The goal is to get Planet to become aware of the location of each post, so we can […]
More great reasons to buy a Mac!
Yes. We went to the Apple Store.

J5’s post about how Gnome is about the people and their ideas made me again think about the same thing I’ve been pondering lately.
Free software is being used on new platforms: handheld tablets and other embedded systems etc.. Many times this requires a rewrite of at least the user interface parts, because a desktop is […]

But no. I search, run alsamixer, the Gnome mixer app, trying to figure out what the problem is.. but nothing. I […]
We got the Samsung ultra-mobile PC (the “origami” device I think?) to play with at the office, and I thought of sharing my experience with you. Maybe this will help us, Novell, Ubuntu or someone else who might be thinking of bundling Linux with laptops or other hardware in the future.. But let’s move on. […]
So, the Gnome website apparently needs a new engine.
Henri wrote a nice analysis and commentary of Midgard CMS and how it would work for this case. Check it out.
I think we should also think a bit deeper here: we could possibly have some CMS-like functionality on the desktop as a method of sharing information, perhaps […]
Stumbled on this pretty nice site which lets you plot stuff on a map, using the google maps API and lets you either link to the map (like this) or embed it on your own site (let’s see how this works, below - and whether planet likes it or not..)
Edit: Ok, looks like planet […]
Luis, I agree with you - we need to have free alternatives too. But the small, open web service lacks one important aspect - the other people you know and love. I think the reason most people are excited about Flickr, for example, is because it is of course easy to use, but also that […]
