    Pour la première fois depuis quatorze ans, la conférence GUADEC fait son retour en France. Je vous encourage à venir nombreux à cet événement qui se tiendra à Strasbourg durant la dernière semaine de Juillet. Je dois traverser l’Atlantique (à la nage), prendre plusieurs avions et autobus pour y aller, alors pas d’excuses pour ceux…

    Pycon, or what I’d call the “main Pycon” (vs one of the sub-Pycons), has traditionally always been held in the United States of America. This year, it will be held in Montréal. The most astute among you might have noticed that Montréal (Québec) is not actually in the USA (because trying to capture Québec City…

    Guess where I am going? To the end of the world and back To that event “where nobody goes anymore”. I’m not entirely sure what’s in the air this year. I’m not talking about what’s been going on in the industry and the public perception of GNOME in various circles, that might not be the…

    I’m back from this year’s GStreamer hackfest, which was fantastic as usual — an intersection of great minds, big challenges, flaky Wi-Fi and good food. Christian already did a generic summary, so I’ll be narrating from the GNonLin/GES/PiTiVi perspective. See the end of this blog post for a nice video retrospective. Edward provided an initial…

    Interested in GStreamer, PiTiVi, GES? Meet us in Milan at the end of March for the 2013 GStreamer hackfest! As you can see in this picture from last year’s hackfest, it’s tons of fun for everybody: No, really! It’s an incredibly productive and motivating event to participate in. One of the major items we would…

  • GUADEC talk video published

    No no no, I said video, Not videos. Seems like even though I spent hours editing and rendering a single recording, I’ve still beat the GUADEC organizers when it comes to “time to publish” 😉 My “neko edit” also has good sound quality (from a dedicated USB microphone) and high resolution versions of the slides…

    You haven’t truly lived until you have seen nekohayo present at GUADEC. Still, it should be safer than the GNOME State of the Union talk.

    It’s too bad that the GNOME Asia summit in HK was so short and that I had to leave early on the last day of the conference. I wish I had more time to interact with the local community and to discuss with the design team some of the (anti)patterns that matter/appeal to me. I’d like…

    Last week was a blast. Spending a couple of days working on Pitivi fulltime and meeting with the awesome GStreamer folks again was a thrilling experience. Not only that, but it happened in the beautiful city of Málaga. Coming from Montréal, I’m still a bit shocked at the sight of people wearing coats, scarves and tuques…

    This week-end: Trapped Olivier Crète and Guillaume Desmottes into fixing their stack to make video/audio calls work again in Empathy 3.2 Spoke at length with Robert Ancell at the Collabora party on Sunday. Good to have an elaborate counter-argument to Matthew Garrett’s famous rebuttal of LightDM: it seems that Robert wishes to make it a…
