Introducing Regento, marketing for FLOSS-centric companies and transitioning industries
In this blog post, I’m taking a quick break from my GTG blogging frenzy to talk about another one of my non-software projects from the past few months years (estimated reading time: 3 ½ minutes).

A new data format has landed in the upcoming GTG 0.5

Dans ce billet, l’ami “Antistress” (Thibaut) fait un état des lieux des grands changements technologiques du libre autour de la plateforme GNU+Linux depuis une quinzaine d’années, lorsque plusieurs d’entre nous ont commencé à utiliser cette plateforme plus intensivement.

Activer la réduction de bruit en temps réel et l'annulation acoustique d'écho pour un microphone sous Linux avec PulseAudio (et faire croire aux gens que vous roulez en Porsche)
On se souviendra que j’avais témoigné de mon admiration pour le acoustic echo cancelling dans Empathy/Telepathy via PulseAudio il y a plusieurs années.
